#pidw au

[fangirlingpuggle]

Ended up combining my SY advisor (link) and SY PIDW wife (link) AU's

Where SY is one og Bingge's wives and basically running everything trying to take burden off Bingge. Not that's he's ever noticed. He is full on running the realms while LBH is away. People have to stop themselves slipping up and calling SY emperor/empress.

Bingge doesn't notice and SY is just overlooked constantly he tries not to let it bother him, it's fine he's able to fix for things for Bingge he's busy... it's been years and he hasn't even tried to see him once or notice but it's fine. Really it's fine he's fine.

So what if he's the one running the country, and the one who sits by Bingge's bedside when he does get injured (Only he had to leave for 1 moment to sort out a court issue and in that time Bingge woke up alone and called for one of his other wives to fix the issue because of course he was affected by a papapa plot plant) and so what if when Bingge does walk past him he doesn't even look at him. It's fine, SY is fine...

Only then the Bingmei Vs Bingge extra happens. Bingge is laser focused on getting a kind shizun as his empress...

So to clear harem he starts divorcing wives, including SY.

SY just shattered and it's. OK IT'S NOT FINE HE'S UPSET AND PISSED AND FUCK THIS SHIT.

SY leaves and goes back to wherever the wives family is.

... it doesn't take a week for everything to go to shit.

Advisors and nobles and every member of palace staff is freaking out everything's broken.

Bingge is pulled out of his Shziun focus tasks only to find everything almost on fire and what is happening? why isn't this stuff done? wait he's meant to do this? He's never done this? He doesn't know how to do this?

Cue him having to run realms and figure out how this has just broken whose been doing this before? How much of his job have they been doing? What do you mean it was a wife?

He goes to find wife and finds very upset and unhappy SY who is not coming back and refuses a proposal. Bingge having to woo him and slowly realizing he did have a kind Shziun.

He was married to his kind Shziun.

He divorced his kind Shziun.

There is a lot of grovelling after that.

This has probably been done before by someone with more swag than me but SVSSS AU idea:

Shen Yuan is reborn as one of Binghe’s many forgotten wives in his harem, he makes it his mission to divorce this demon emperor no matter what, turns out PIDW has extremely elaborate (and weirdly horny) super fleshed out divorce laws (because a lot of the members of Binghe’s harem were already married or betrothed) that make it impossible for Shen Yuan to divorce the demon emperor, this will not stop him from trying.

Shen Yuan becomes the top expert in divorce law for demons, mortals and cultivators alike! He personally may not be able (yet) to get his divorce (this is airplane’s fault) but he is giving consultations left and right, divorce has skyrocketed and it is all Shen Yuan’s doing!

Binghe is just fascinated by this wife who’s name he doesn’t even remember just getting really in to wrecking other people’s marriages one day all of a sudden, he hasn’t laughed this hard ever really, this silly wife of his is truly a treasure and can make him smile genuinely like he had lost the ability to do.

bing-ge divorce arc

emperor bing-ge is getting exhausted by the size of the harem/tired of picking up new wives and even grumpier after visiting the bing-mei universe so he tells his advisors to yeet anyone from the harem that won't cause a huge uproar (cos he knows like a solid third are probably cool leaving) and to make sure they get paid and are taken care of but that he never has to deal with them again

ning yingying is pissed he did this without even talking to the wives, but bing-ge is sulking so he's being super mature and not at all acting like an adult who has a terrible childhood and has regressed out of trauma and she's like you divorced a-yuan???? we LOVE her what is wrong with you (cos SY transmigrated as a wife, who I'm giving shapeshifting abilities to because he can have less gender dysphoria as a treat)

and bing-ge is like no i didn't--I like that one! thats the one in my rotation for the resting day cos she likes hearing all my cool fighting stories and we never end up banging (SY made his appearance a little less femme in hopes of evading Bing-ge's interests but is always a little disappointed for some reason that it never actually ends in papapa)

and ning yingying just gives him this look (she is mad cos A-Yuan helped her organize logistic shit in the harem and liked learning QJP cultivation shit as her his reward which NYY missed doing and finds teaching really nice! LMY is also mad her bookclub got culled a member or two, possibly SHL found a partner to bitch about other harem ladies with) and he's like WHAT? I looked at the list! and A-Yuan was definitely not on it.

and NYY is like, you idiot -- if you'd MET your wives in person and talked to them to divorce them rather than letting a PROXY do it you'd know that A-Yuan's actual name was SOMENAME

and bing-ge is not going to freak out over this, because it's no big deal, he made sure his advisors gave money and housing/land fairly and settled the ex-wives so it should be easy enough to track A-Yuan down, except SY didn't take any of that and only left a note that said he hoped Binghe would be happy and that the culling the harem meant he'd finally found what he was looking for which of course never got delivered because idk the little palace mistress or something

so bing-ge is upset and complaining because the wife he liked to hang out with and spend time with and listened to him and sometimes brushed his hair and actually cared about his personal happiness was gone and NYY, LMY, and SHL are just sorta looking at him like god, I married this fucking moron didn't I? and eventually he gets the hint and is like fine I'll just find via my blood

except he never gave A-Yuan his blood, because he usually does that after they consummate on their wedding night, and they hadn't done that -- so he's like god I'm so stupid (SHL/NYY: That's what I've been saying! LMY: *nodding*)

so basically, SY transmigrated into one of the many wives, who is idk a fox spirit or something with shape shifting who noticed that Binghe was really tired on their wedding night and was like um, do you want to just like sleep or something? and they talked for a while about all the cool shit Binghe has done and some monsters and Binghe actually slept for once and felt great in the morning and forgot and this occurred every other time he had A-Yuan on his rotation so it just sorta became his rest day and Shen Yuan was disappointed even though he was ignoring that, but also not because he got to hang out with Binghe!

and when the divorces happen he's like oh okay, well he must have finally figured out LMY should be empress and/or Airplane wrote his one-true-love, hopefully she's cool! and he tries to at least say goodbye, but the entire thing is an impersonal shove out the palace walls and he doesn't really want the money or the land offered and his character doesn't have family left so he is like welp all right and just shapeshifts completely to a dude instead of playing with gender (andmaybesometimes mixes it up) -- and starts wandering around looking at cool plants and beasts and shit with literally no idea the emperor is having a meltdown over him

presumably when binghe eventually finds him, he's like oh and SY is like yeah I'm a dude can we still be friends? and Binghe has a 404 shutdown on his brain as he finally connects the dots from the other universe and has to live through the hell that is trying to flirt with and court shen yuan when he is convinced everything you do is just a friendly bro thing

[confuzing]

Luo Bingge runs into a spell or curse or something that requires the blood of his firstborn to dispel.

So he drags his oldest to the location, pricks their finger and... Nothing happens. After some investigation it turns out the curse can tell Junior isn't actually his firstborn.

At first he's like, "wtf do you mean they aren't my first kid, I would know!"

...but then he remembers how much of a manwhore he is and has to go on an adventure to find his illegitimate child.

(Spoiler alert: there's more than one)

[promiseslikewater]

Emperor Binghe, ruler of realms and master of a nearly uncountable harem.

Cue rogue cultivator going by the name Shen Yuan. A seemingly wandering, chill guy who chances upon Luo Binghe on Wife #330 Side Quest, and decides, he's a guy and he's, like, was non-existant up until he transmigrated and the system had pulled his body in. He wasn't part of the book, so. It's okay to be friends, right? It's okay to fanboy over THE Luo Binghe, because, who wouldn't!?

And then yada yada helping Binghe acquire this gemstone which would cure Wife Something and all that stuff.

Binghe's actually impressed with this careless, ordinary, strange etc etc cultivator who knows a good amount of things, from gemstones to Abyss monsters to temporary cures for Xin Mo's influence. In fact, Shen Yuan is, in the most infuriating, fascinating of ways, smarter than any creature he has met, human or demon alike. (Airplane's ideal character IQ is that of a chair with no back rest)

He's unfathomably kind. He has strange way of saying things, of writing, strange morals. Where one might think before speaking about women welfare, he speaks without thinking.

"You don't need a man," Shen Yuan once suggested to a brothel girl. Blasphemous. What would she do without someone to protect her, especially a girl of such origin? When Bingge posed this question, pointedly, he was told (him!) to just amend the laws (equality? Where would his wives go, if they don't have him to rely on?) and spread awareness as a good emperor ought to. Surely, his word as the infamous ruler is obliged by all?

Where one might think before interacting with a demonic being, Shen Yuan soars at his conditional idiocy.

"This guy's got crazy abilities!" Shen Yuan once cooed at Binghe's most prized mass weapon, the Death Plant. (Again, airplane is not known for his naming skills and for a good reason) "It's adorable."

What, of this dangerous plant which infects a chosen region at an impossible speed, and all on the command of a heavenly demon, is adorable, he had no idea.

Why do you not find it repulsive, he asked the strange cultivator. A killing hybrid. A greedy, insatiable hoarder, a creature that has no use in the world but for it's hunger. Impressive, but is it lovable?

Who says it has to be useful to be loved, Shen Yuan replied, and then—

''Just existing is enough.'' Just existing is enough.

Just existing is, to Shen Yuan, enough.

Ridiculous. (Something long buried in him stirs)

But he's not—not entirely kind, either. He isn't remorseful when he needs to kill. But that is strange, isn't it? A person with such disposition as Shen Yuan should have blanched at the mere thought of hurting someone, regardless of how unjust that person is.

Everybody behaved that way. Except him. Where—everyone is simple, uncomplicated— two dimensional, Shen Yuan is a web of contradictions and complexities.

He's confusing. And that is what draws Binghe's interest initially.

It was supposed to be mere curiosity. It was curiosity in the beginning. But then... how did he end up....

Obsessed?

Beast Peak Lord! SY

SY somehow now has a pet tiger, don't ask me how he got it.

SY: A-Jiu! Can we keep it??

SJ: ...

SJ: WHAT THE FUCK

[shangqinghuaenthusiast]

Transgender Ming fan realizing she's a girl and having a genuine breakdown over it when her ning shimei walks in and due to the heat of the moment she just comes out to yingying and makes her promise to keep it a secret

Now ning yingying has started calling MF da-shijie whenever no one's around and MF has started to go a little easier on her shidimei(no she has not gotten kinder,she's still a dick but she has better things to ponder about rn)

At somepoint she ends up on a mission with her shizun(shen jiu) where she ends up taking some truth serum or sm and accidentally comes out to shen qingqiu

And suddenly..she's shizuns favorite?

Sj's favorites are obviously his girls and if anyone says anything to contradict his kids they will go missing for unknown reasons

Maybe ming fan isn't as much of a bully to luo shidi since now she doesn't feel like she has to prove herself as much anymore(she bullied binghe bc 1: sj didn't like him and 2:she's just kind of an asshole tbh)

And suddenly a doors been opened and lbh's TV starts to glow some familiar colors...

Also if a certain hamster has started to get dangerous close to the qing Jing peak lord in that background that's neither here nor there(I mean an ding ARE the ones who provide every non-medical item for transitioning so it only makes sense)(I have to add scumplane or I will die)
