Shen Yuan transmigrates as Liu Qingge in the Lingxi Caves, noticing how the Scum Villain was actually trying to save him!! It shakes everything he knows about the story, so Shen Yuan, Liu Qingge now, decides to get closer to Shen Qingqiu to discover more about him, using the life debt as excuse.
Shen Qingqiu is bewildered, 99% certain his shidi is possessed, but he can't prove it and it annoys him to no end (he'll still keep coming with new testing ways though). He is also furious the brute is getting more charming (and dumb!! Did he have no common sense?!) by the day.
Liu Qingge already had a lovely face, however without the OOC lock the wife beam is fatal. He becomes a calamitous beauty, emperors and sect leaders crazy to have a bit of him and trying to find reasons for the War God to show up at their doorstep (or even trying to set up marriage). Countries and sects go to war, even demons join the fray!! (They come sniffing the trouble, and some simps actually let them into their territories to ask the War God help)
Shen Qingqiu is almost tearing his hair out trying to handle everything as the Sect Strategist, while the Peerless Beauty remain oblivious to it all.
'Maybe if the brute actually has a husband already things might go easier...' Shen Qingqiu considers.
Hua Cheng ascending as a god and being determined to clean the place for when Dianxia eventually ascends to the Heavens again. His goal is becoming the new Heavenly Emperor and he won't stop until he gets it. Jun Wu is unfazed by it or see it as a mild inconvenience at best, and Hua Cheng's constant challenges and testing of the heavenly officials helps separate the sheeps from the goats and keep everyone on their toes. Any dirt is unearthed by the Flower God, who spreads it to his followers until the gods have no more believers and essentially die.
Hua Cheng has yet to find any dirt on Jun Wu, but the man can't be perfect, right? There has to be something.
So when Xie Lian ascends and already acquires a huge debt, Hua Cheng has already a good sum to lend. Gege can pay when he has the money, or in another way~
Ban Yue was about to be executed when General Hua, miraculously alive, appeared for the rescue!! Now the Xie Lian is a single father with a thin little daughter in tow to help collecting scraps and doing tricks with snakes to gather money. People take pity and are more likely to help them too.
All goes well until The Book Villain (you know who) thinks Xie Lian is being too happy and sends someone to kill the little girl in a horrific matter. Xie Lian is desolated, but after a while a small ghost fire then later a little more corporeal Ban Yue appears to haunt him. Xie Lian cries in relief, but he's also sad Ban Yue will never grow up as a normal girl.
Hua Cheng finds them eventually like canon and he's aghast thinking someone took tricked/abandoned gege and left him with a child to raise, but then he stops for a second to see Ban Yue doesn't look nothing like Xie Lian lol.
Cue Hua Cheng trying to awkwardly bond with Ban Yue to prove he'll be a good second das to her XD
Ban Yue finds Hua Cheng amusing. She gets who the "beloved" is immediately when Xie Lian comments (laments) about it, but Xie Lian just laughs and waves it off, saying there's no way he could be described like that. Ban Yue pouts, quietly cheering for the couple.
There's an error, the scum villain didn't die from qi deviation and his soul was fiercely against another soul entering his body, so as a last resort System shoved Shen Yuan's soul inside its power source, Luo Binghe's body who was already habitated.
Cue bodysharing shenanigans with the protagonist. Luo Binghe got the scare of his life thinking he was being possessed by an evil entity but calmed down once Shen Yuan showed he only wanted Binghe to have a better life, and this strange ghost who no wards or artifacts could detect was an even better teacher than his own frigid Shizun, so Binghe started to call him that.
Shen Yuan wife-beaming people on Luo Binghe's body, making Binghe jealous (he's also eager searching for a way to get Shizun his own body so he can hold him)
Instead if getting a mushroom body, Shen Yuan transmigrates as Madam Yu after a qi deviation from Jiang Fengmian undermining her and deciding to take in Cangse Sanren's son to be raised alongside her son.
Shen Yuan, now Yu Ziyuan, lovingly raises the 3 sticky kids that were suddenly now his responsibility.
Luo Binghe still appearing to whisk away the jianghu's most beloved MILF.
Shen Yuan and Xiang Fei transmigrating as the Qin sisters when they were little children. They quickly figure out the others' identity and plan to make the most out of the xianxia world before the harem life can catch up at them (preferably never! It was so messy in there).
The Qin sisters are very close and prone to bickering, being told apart by hairstyle (half updo and bun) and robes (the younger Wanrong is a little sloppier and ink-stained).
Shen Yuan is now Qin Wanyue and he despairs about being fated to pop the protagonist's cherry, planning to not fall foe the wife plot and just be a friend to the protagonist instead. Qin Wanyue is now the darling of Huan Hua, wife beaming everyone and eliciting the angry jealously of Little Palace Mistress, who is always trying to demean and plot against the sisters but to no avail. Gongyi Xiao also has a soft spot for Wanyue.
Xiang Fei, now Qin Wanrong, dreams having a peek at Mobei-Jun at least once, even if his character never interacted with the man in PIDW. Meanwhile, Qin Wanyue wonders if there's a way to help Luo Binghe even being miles away.
They eventually find an ugly snake-creature at Bailu Forest...
Messed up (but cute?) qijiu ahead! Also mpreg and miscarriage
Even feeling betrayed, Shen Jiu wants to keep Yue Qingyuan tied to his side, Qi-ge isn't allowed to leave him behind a second time!
His idea: babytrap the noble Yue Qingyuan, whose foolish soft heart would never allow him to abandon a child with his blood and its dam. Shen Jiu couldn't care less about brats and he plans to treat it just like a miniature disciple. So he procures a magical mpreg-papapa plant and arranges a trap during a mission, which Yue Qingyuan notices, and yet happily walks right into it.
The seed takes, but not for long. Because of child starvation and haven been a lab rat for Wu Yanzi, after a few weeks he suffers a miscarriage. Frustrated, he gets some healing herbs and tries again, but the same happens.
Still not giving up, he pulls up plan B: Impregnate Yue Qingyuan. And before the Sect Leader can quietly dispose of the parasyte inside him, Shen Jiu leaks the news as soon as possible. He's grinning like a villain as he proposes to Yue Qingyuan, saying it won't do for the great and honored Sect Leader to have a child out of wedlock; Qi-ge is beaming, tears at the corners of his eyes. Check mate!
Yue Qingyuan starts living in the small Bamboo House rather than his own large but startan mansion enherited from his shizun. Shen Jiu teases him about the downgrade but Yue Qingyuan is perflectly happy like this, it's easier to see Shen Jiu if it's smaller after all.
Their future child is growing along nicely inside Qi-ge's strong body, until something unexpected happens: In order to save Xiao Jiu, Yue Qingyuan draws Xuan Su, and with that a part of the unborn child's vitality. When A-Yuan is born premature and sickly, Shen Jiu blames it on his own "defective seed" and puts it out of his mind, the little brat just needs to be alive in order for Qi-ge to be trapped with him in the end. Envious of his own child that was born to rich parents, Shen Jiu does whatever he can to bring hardship to Shen Yuan, no way he'll grow up like a spoiled young master!
Yue Qingyuan feels guilty about Xiao Yuan's frail body and spoils him as much as he can when he thinks Shen Jiu isn't looking, so Shen Jiu has to work harder to torment the brat. Even then, Shen Jiu can't help but have a grundgingly and twisted affection for Shen Yuan, who turns out to be a very clever and bold little boy, it's only a shame he seems to take on Qi-ge's foolish naivety.
Meanwhile, the transmigrated Peerless Cucumber is playing mind games with the Scum Villain that somehow is now his father?? How does that make any sense?! System!!!
At least his dad Qingyuan is nice and caring... Which makes Shen Yuan even angrier in his behalf. Even with a lovely spouse and a kid, the Scum Villain is still visiting brothels every now and then!!
Shen Yuan was a sickly young master of the family the washerwoman works for. He didn't had a mom and tried to stay in the background least his half brothers bully him in their endless competition for their father's attention and heir position. Like the time when Lord Shen caught Shen Yuan playing guqin incredibly well and complimented/braged about his son's talents, his jealous half brothers 'accidentaly' broke his guqin and threw him in the freezing Luo River before going away. Maybe they didn't know Shen Yuan couldn't swim or just didn't care, but he only didn't die because little Luo Binghe was there and saved him.
After that they quickly became friends, Luo Binghe started to play with toys that before he could only dream of when looking at the other kids play, and even when Shen Yuan was too weak to play he liked to read to Binghe and talk his ear off about monsters out in the world, also teaching him how to read and write. In one of the times Shen Yuan was running from his brothers Binghe led him to the humble little house he lived with the washerwoman, basking in the warmth 'is this how having a mom feels like?'. Shen Yuan eventually discovered mom and son suffered humiliations from his family but couldn't really do much about it, his own situation was also precarious, though he gave them food/ingredients from the kitchen where the staff loved him.
When his friend didn't appear to play anymore Luo Binghe grew anxious, even asking the mean Shen brothers about it, who only sneered saying that useless trash finally died from illness. Soon after his mom also started feeling weak, and Binghe despaired.
Shen Yuan fell sick from the same disease as the washerwoman, but he was fervirish and locked in his room so didn't know that or he would have begged his father to also let the healer see her. When he finally could get out of the Manor he ran to the little house but there was no one there, only a plate to rent it. Shen Yuan blamed himself thinking he had passed that disease to the kind woman. He asked around and found a ragged Binghe on the streets mid winter, who cried in his arms discovering his friend was actually alive.
"Binghe, why don't we go away and become cultivators? I heard the Cang Qiong entrance trial is near."
PS: Shen Yuan is sickly because one of his dad's other wives poisoned her when she was pregnant, which caused her to die in childbirth. When he discovered this via servants gossip he grew sick. He was always vocal to Binghe about hating harems.
Shen Qingqiu is affected by a curse that blocks his sense of taste and can’t be cured via papapa with the protagonist. He hides it from his husband and feigns his usual reactions because he doesn’t want to make Binghe sad (as he knows his husband takes great pride and joy in feeding his Shizun good food), thinking it’s something minor he’ll resolve alone (or with Airplane’s help) in no time. Meanwhile, Luo Binghe, who is obsessed with everything Shizun, immediately notice something is wrong but puts the blame all on himself, as “Shizun surely got bored of his unimaginative cooking” and now he’s on a quest to improve his skills to make his husband happy again, fearing somehow that it can make points against him that will eventually lead to Shizun breaking up with him (dramatic much?)
After many unsuccessful attempts Luo Binghe’s insecurity reaches its max and he ends up breaking down hugging Shen Qingqiu, who can’t keep the façade any longer, finally tells him the truth and they go resolve it together.
Icy Yuan-didi with eerie blue eyes (like the System). He is there to bring comfort and be someone (possibly the only one before SQH came along and wormed his away into his heart) that Mobei Jun can trust with his life.
When he's very angry, scared, embarrassed, or other strong emotion A-Yuan's icy powers go out of control and he freezes stuff around him.
The first time A-Yuan told his brother he liked humans he received a frozen dead body .
MBJ: I heard they go well in soup.
SY: Noooo Da-ge I meant live humans!!
MBJ: You're not strong enough to take them yet
SY: I don't want to hurt them!!
MBJ: *blinks confused*
I think Shen Yuan's love for humans and Mobei's hatred of them would make some interesting interactions, and with Mobei trying to keep A-Yuan away from them to protect him while the young ice prince just teleports away hidden anyway (like to see a certain White Lotus, being his mysterious benefactor, he paid for the washerwoman's doctor so Binghe still got his mom, but he still went to Cang Qiong chase after his dream and with the objective of giving his mom a better life).
The little prince is well versed in MBJ's poker face and has a ton of knowledge of demon courtship after reading PIDW, so even his oblivious ass notices MBJ's interest in SQH, but he just scrunches his face and says nothing about it - MBJ doesn't know a lick of human courtship and he pretends to keep it this way, like hell he'll have that rat as a brother in law!! (In the end he can't stand those ridiculous men anymore and throws a bone, especially after SQH proved himself to be very devoted and pathetic about MBJ).
A-Yuan tries to stop his brother from following his plan of attacking the cultivators' conference full of children but MBJ doesn't budge. MBJ spoils his little brother a lot but this he can't give him.
Shang Qinghua still has his System and it's demanding for a bloodbath in the Alliance Conference least he die (SY: Then die! /j). The transmigrators hatch a plan to minimize the deaths pushing for restrictions on who can participate and SY makes strong beasts appear next to the site/Sects to make them raise up their defenses.
Luo Binghe still falls to the Abyss, but A-Yuan dives right after him, claiming to have "accidentally fallen" (as if Luo Binghe never saw glimpses of his mysterious benefactor before). He tested beforehand and knew he couldn't just teleport in and out of the Abyss (it worked differently from the other realms) so he decided to help him instead.
Mobei Jun is livid (and very worried) when he discovers his little brother is in the Abyss, Shang Qinghua comforts him and says they'll be back (His spy was never wrong before so he believes even if it seems impossible).
When bingyuan crawl out of the Abyss they go straight to the Northern Palace and the icy brothers have their reunion. Luo Binghe challenges Mobei Jun in battle for A-Yuan's hand (who is furiously blushing), gaining an ally and a demon noble empress. They unify the demon realm. SY convinces his husband to throw Xin Mo away back to the Endless Abyss and to make peace with the humans that he loves so much. They expose Old Palace Master's crimes and have them executed by the other cultivators, Gongyi Xiao becoming the next Sect Leader.
Mobei Jun and Shang Qinghua's marriage marks a new era of peace (as much as possible) between demons and humans.
Luo Binghe as Michael, Shen Yuan as Eleanor and Yue Qingyuan as Chidi
(Spoilers for TGP ahead)
Shen Yuan asks his soulmate Yue Qingyuan for help and they try to make Shen Yuan belong to that place, but when Yue Qingyuan sees his childhood friend (which he long thought was dead) Shen Jiu also in heaven (and paired with a mousy man at that) he starts having doubts about his soulmate (maybe the system made another error?).
Shang Qinghua also thinks he shouldn't be in the Good Place as he's stuck with the identity of a mute monk (like Jason), whose soulmate is a huge bitch that he's always on edge about being discovered. The fake monk asks too much help from the informational assistant Mobei Jun and they ends up in a strange relationship, with the icy Not a Man learning more human emotions each time he's reseted.
Shen Jiu is livid about Qi-ge's soulmate, just WHO is this twink slut who kinda looks like him?? No one will ever be good enough for his Qi-ge! Is this really heaven? Why the hell Shang Qinghua is his soulmate?? Well he DOES like a pathetic man he supposes...
So the plan was for Luo Binghe (Bingge) to torture these humans but then a certain nerd HAD to be so ridiculous and cute and smart...
Bingge didn't get a Good Janet aka Mobei Jun but a Neutral one would do just fine, right? He could act and all (hopefully).
Maybe throw in Liu Qingge and Mu Qingfang in the fun as another 'soulmate' couple XD
Also featuring Tianlang Jun as Sean and Qi Qingqi as Judge.
(Inspo on daikshen TGP idea and my convo with Proxy in the bingyuan server XD)
Tianlang Jun and Shang Qinghua somehow ended up co parenting Luo Binghe. Now Bingbun has not one but TWO ridiculous embarrassing dads (+1 Uncle Zhuzhi).
After seing the kind Shizun, Bingge gives Shen Jiu his members back and turns his former master into his Empress to the horror of everyone. Still not satisfied, Bingge also kidnapps an unsuspecting nerd Shen Yuan from his hikikomori life. He's delusional and expects both Shen wives to fight for his affections like the rest of his harem, only for Jiuyuan to start loving each other instead ><
