svsss au (shen siblings, moshangbingyuan)
where lbh and mbj were actually engaged when mbj was a baby and lbh was still a fetus. this was a "scrapped" plot but it actually is there just in the background but the plot sorta continues as plan, mbj is kidnapped, lbh is pivked up by a washer woman. sy gets put in the body of sj's estranged brother (sy lived a pretty average life not knowing too much abt how close he was to the plot until he turns like 15 and sees sj as a slave. he doesn't realize sj is the sqq, he just sees injustice and intervenes. then his adopted parents points out they look very very similar. so yeah, they join cqm together, doesn't really care but he wants to make sure his brother is safe. there, he realizes that sj is sqq but he's attached. here he also meets sqh and they quickly become good friends). when sy meets lbh, the system appears and there are some points that still have to happen in order for the world to stay in tact.
so yeah, mbj and lbh were originally meant to be engaged. when lbh is pushed in to the abyss, lbh is there for him and they bond sorta as fiancees. they do still fall for get married to shen yuan and shang qinghua but after marriage they mention that they still have to get married. its a politic thing (mostly) so mbj and lbh do have to get married, do the courting and everything. during this courting, cumplane obviously jokes and meet more often. then, they all get fall in love ofc
