Airplane actually based Liu Mingyan off of a guy he met in college who was a stunning pretty boy, stone-faced, dry, and a little mean. Always wore a mask too (a surgical mask, not a veil). Airplane doesn't quite remember the guy's name though... It might have been something like Shen Yuan???
PAIRINGS: Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe, One sided SQQ’s harem hopelessly in love with him
SUMMARY:
Shen Yuan never expected to be transmigrated—who DOES expect that sort of thing!? But here he is, in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way as some NPC demon child who is at the complete mercy of the cultivation world around him. When he runs into Luo Binghe it is like fate itself plucked him up and set Shen Yuan into the world to be with the Protagonist. Keep him safe. Make sure that Luo Binghe won’t ever have to be alone in the world.
But staying at Luo Binghe’s side will be easier said than done, even if his mysterious heritage lands him in the good graces of the Scum Villain, Shen Yuan is still a demon. One living in the middle of a cultivation sect. Not to mention that something—something darker and stronger than Shen Yuan—seems to be messing with the plot, and not changing things for the better. Like Shen Yuan didn’t already have enough on his plate to deal with.
EXCERPT:
Shuang Hu City’s marketplace is so tightly packed that Shen Yuan is grateful that their clients had the foresight to arrange for the group’s horses—and thus carriage—to be taken away by some of their people. He can’t imagine trying to ride a horse through this part of the street, where the market stalls are so close that Shen Yuan imagines that there are more than a few arguments about who owns what when it comes to the sale of some items. As it is now, the disciples walk through the city itself with their heads on a swivel. The calls of merchants, enticing scents of food and perfumes and the chatter of the people around them is a far cry from the serenity of Qing Jing Peak. Shen Yuan had almost forgotten what it’s like to be surrounded by city life—even this is quite tame compared to his first life.
He feels an unexpected homesickness for the bustle of a modern, busy street. He wonders how his friends would react to that sort of sight, were it offered to them. He doesn’t think even Shen Qingqiu’s looming figure would keep them from darting off to see all they could. As it is, they walk through Shuang Hu City, which exists in a time—and world—far from the city that Shen Yuan grew up in. Even so, the pull on the young teenagers making their way through the market is strong enough that Shen Qingqiu practically radiates an air of sternness that speaks as clearly as any painted sign: embarrass him and his Peak, and suffer his wrath.
“Shizun!” Ning Yingying calls out, rushing over to grab at the hem of Shen Qingqiu’s sleeve in a manner that even Shen Yuan himself wouldn’t dare do at his most shameless. His uncle’s eyes do not narrow at the young girl though, and he only turns his phoenix eyes on her as she speaks, “Can this Yingying play in the market later? Maybe Shizun can come with!”
“Perhaps,” Shen Qingqiu says, neither outright denying or acquiescing to Ning Yingying’s request. The boys of their group all exchange glances and Shen Yuan tries not to roll his eyes. It’s not Ning Yingying’s fault that Shen Qingqiu is willing to spoil her—still, if any of the four of them had tried that they’d likely have Shen Qingqiu’s fan denting their very skulls! “I bet A-Yuan would want to go!”
“Hey! Don’t drag me into this,” Shen Yuan says to her sternly. “This disciple would like to remind his shijie that we’re here on a night hunt.”
“When we catch the demon we can play, Xiao-shimei,” Ming Fan cajoles her when Ning Yingying’s eyes look a touch too hurt at Shen Yuan’s words. Shen Yuan winces—he hadn’t meant to be grumpy with her or anything.
“We just can’t forget we’re on a hunt,” Shen Yuan says, feeling terribly like a stick in the mud. He can’t keep himself from trying to justify his earlier tone though. He lowers his voice as he adds, “Something is killing women here, shijie. It’s probably not safe to be out and—hm.”
Shen Yuan trails off, glancing around at the busy market with a furrowed brow. For a city with a supposed serial murderer—and likely not a human one at that—Shuang Hu City is… very calm. He doesn’t see any people looking about nervously. The streets are filled with moving common people and there seems to be no real disruption throughout the day. The victims have all been young women, from what he remembers of the missive he read through. Not just murdered but skinned alive—people were calling it the “Skinner Demon”.
So why on earth was there so little worry?
“Disciple Shen is correct,” Shen Qingqiu says loftily, “Once you have sorted the affairs with this demon perhaps this master will allow his disciples some leisure. If it has been earned.”
Ning Yingying furrows her brows in thought and says, “Maybe we can go to the market but use it for the hunt—this Yingying thinks talking to some people may help!”
“Usually, this shixiong would agree but…” He Mengyao trails off, looking around at the swaths of people around them. Shen Yuan can’t tell if He Mengyao has picked up on the same thing he himself had, or if he’s just anxious about talking with strangers. His friend’s round face is scrunched tightly with an expression of nervousness that makes him look a little pitiful. Shen Yuan reaches over to pat him on the shoulder.
“It is unusual that so few people seem unsettled,” Luo Binghe says, as though finishing He Mengyao’s sentence. Shen Yuan perks up—of course the protagonist caught on! He can’t help that, after He Mengyao’s shoulder pat, his hand diverts course to Luo Binghe’s fluffy hair. His friend beams at him in open pride.
“Binghe’s right, this disciple was thinking much the same,” Shen Yuan says. “Even looking closer, there’s nobody that seems to be on edge—at least, not significantly. No significant presence of anyone but us, really. They aren’t even really looking our way.”
Airplane never wrote an explicit sex scene between LBG and og!LMY because LMY is a trans woman and LBG absolutely bottomed for her? And Airplane couldn't actually write it, because his audience would be too narrow-minded to accept it, but he knew. All. This. Time.
