We all know fairies are born from a human baby's first laughter, so what if Shen Yuan was reborn as a fairy from Shen Jiu's first laugh

Lydia the Bard Who made Tinkerbell villain song 4 days ago give me this idea

So what if

Wei wuxian, Xie Lian and Chu Wanning were also reborn as fairies and Shen Yuan and all Of them become friends

Wei wuxian was born from Ning Yingying first laughter

Chu Wanning was born from Shang Qinghua first laughter

Xie Lian was born from Liu Qingge first laughter

I know we all love sweet, innocent Shen Yuan who cares about everyone, but what if we get a little crazy sociopath Shen Yuan since fairies are said to be evil little creatures who take away children

Shen Yuan found Shen Jiu when he was a slave and took him away and Yue Qingyuan when he was coming back for Shen Jiu saw the fairies take Shen Jiu away

And Shen Yuan also found Luo Binghe when he was a baby in the river so he takes the role of Peter Pan

Reading SVSSS and I realised that Shang Qinghua is most likely in charge of finances and accounting and internal affairs at the same fricking time. Like what? Cang Qiong why is your money guy also your internal investigations guy? That's prime position for so many, like so many crimes. Embezzlement is the least of it. He definitely took advanatage of that. Shang Qinghua was probably Corruption Georg, even without the literal, actual treason.

So SQH = Corruption Georg, but honestly that's on Cang Qiong, they should've known better after thousands of years of sect history and I'm now imagining generations of An Ding Peak Lords just cackling in massive amounts of embezzlement glee and SQH being just the latest incarnation of Corruption Georg in a long line of Corruption Georgs.

I love shen jiu with all my heart and i agree with the anon below you write him very well! Can i request a Shen jiu x male reader angst? the reader being murdered by his own family that he loved and protected just for wealth and power? God how do u think shen jiu would react to reader being betrayed like that despite his overall kindness and amiable temperament from his own family no less. It can be a scenario or headcanon I don't mind either Thank you❤️

Writer's Note(s): I'm so glad you love Shen Jiu and how I write him! I know I'm not perfect but I try to keep all characters at least 60% canonical! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)

I have a few asks that need a lot of thought and time, so any short headcanons, I'll take them! I might need some to spend time on the others because some of the other asks I have are... very specific.

Info on Reader: Reader is intended AMAB, and uses he/him. Reader is described as being like an angel/bleeding heart to Shen Jiu, but Reader is fully human and Shen Jiu is just deeply in love. Reader is described as being a fighter. Reader also gets killed. Reader and Luo Binghe have a good but confused relationship (because of dating Shen Jiu).

Timeline: Could be canonical PIDW or a good-ending for Shen Jiu, I leave it up to you. (Preferably the good ending IMO)

【🔴】 Reader is killed, it was requested. Descriptions of killing demons and Reader being stabbed are shown.

There wasn't a day, deep into your shared relationship, that Shen Jiu didn't think this was too good to be true. Waking up on a man's chest and not feeling scared or overwhelmed was a blessing to Shen Jiu, to see your sleepy face grimace as he gets up to teach his students. It's the breaking of sunlight that really has Shen Jiu at pause, your face illuminated by the soft purples and oranges of daybreak.

This was dangerous, he says. This was like a breath of reality was breathed into something old and decrepit. He could feel warmth (or as many butterflies in his chest as he'll allow his heart to stand) spread to his limbs as if the cold wasn't biting late-Autumn.

That still didn't save you from him waking you up with throwing your clothes over your head and stomping around intentionally. And as soon as you get up, he no longer stomps and won't hear anything about being loud this morning. It's not your dear Jiu if he's not a bit cold.

Because of how your family will send letters, you await mid-day independent study hours to actually open your envelope within the private study halls with Shen Jiu.

Of course, demons are a main issue with your area of the woods and you knew it would one day catch up to your family and clans nearby. Shen Jiu scoots over and helps you decipher the message, looking into your expression to gauge what he's also reading.

Your eyes are down cast and your expression pops between those with bitter confusion, sympathy, and anger. You're a very emotionally driven person and he's seen you do stupidly heroic things before. Families like yours, especially the ones who send you monthly letters you hide from Shen Jiu, make Shen Jiu feel a bit confused.

Something about it didn't sit right with him. Shen Jiu wasn't the type to go out of his way to help just... anyone, and this family of yours doesn't inspire him to change that. Not even a bit. You're the only person in your family he could even care about, end of story.

But... because of high demon activity being involved, even if Shen Jiu (as Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu) didn't want to deploy his disciples to this mission, he had to report it. It was far away from where the Sects can get a lot of resources without high risk of losing it: demon raids, beggar clans who've gone rouge, horrible weather, potential of snow and illness, and that's just the obvious ones without magic being taken into account.

But Yue Qingyuan―the soft and pliable Yue Qi is long gone, but Shen Jiu swears someone as soft as him has say inside Qingyuan's mind―was a Sect Leader and could not allow the demons to take place in your home area. Maybe it was Shen Qingqiu's opinion being snuffed out in the meeting with all the Sects, or maybe it was your bleeding heart... Yue Qingyuan had no choice to issue it, even if anyone protested.

The casualties were predictable, up until the final fight.

First, the mountains that will accompany this mission. Qing Jing Peak, Bai Zhan Peak, Yue Qingyuan and specific disciples of him, and any spare elder disciples who the Peaks could spare for your numbers. It may seem like a lot, but truthfully, the demons that were reported by your family had many numbers above you.

Shen Jiu smelt something fishy, but it wasn't from their own end. And he made his thoughts known to you. Sadly, he's soft for you and let's his first wave of concerns go. He had maps to search.

It takes a week to get ready and stockpile your small army to meet the bad guys, and snow starts to fall especially near the flat plains of lands. Snow brings in sickness to younger disciples and if they aren't nursed quickly, they have to be sent back to the mountains. Food is mostly preserved until they get into towns for a break and medicine. The medicine is running thin and Liu Qingge was a close call with sickness before they even get to the battleground...

Oh, how he wished they'd never come when it's finally over.

Everyone who was alive from the demonic waves of battle were getting the wounded out and leading your family to you, where you and Shen Qingqiu were trying to get fresh water. The bodies of the demons were bleeding out, but some were slowly turning to ash as well and you didn't know how long until the rivers are tainted for a while.

You were swiftly trying to clean your bloody boots so they don't hydroplane while Shen Jiu rested on a rock nearby as you also do his too. He was going through the students that were still moving and appointed, with hesitation so great it took nearly an hour, Luo Binghe to instruct Yue Qingyuan about cleaning out the bodies.

Your family, who were surprised to see you, kept you at a distance as your knee-deep in water. You, the happy-go-lucky guy you are, offer a hug to your favorite family member, but they decline you. They are whispering between themselves before they ask about your health.

Not feeling queasy? Lightheaded? Sick? Your stomach doesn't hurt?

Shen Jiu is done after the fifth line of questions and answers in your stead, "Why would he not be? What is it to you about his health, as I see no doctor among you. If you'd cared or had a thought in your head, a doctor would be here and not you."

Of course, Shen Jiu's words aren't taken well but you quickly get them out of there as Shen refuses to apologize. It was unwise to push an apology from him, especially since he had been so fishy about your family to begin with... best let it go.

The second wave, was your undoing.

You were in the formation before him, and he hadn't seen you for sometime after he had taken to beheading demons first and fighting later. Twenty minutes turn to forty, and unease and fatigue settle in as he glides forward after your aura.

By the time he sees you, it's simply just your lifeless eyes staring up at him from a pile of demons you had most likely killed. A family member of yours was trying to pull the knife from your body, but was weaker from the pooling blood of demons all around you.

Shen Jiu didn't know what happened after. The feeling of flying forward was evident, and the weight on his sword was obvious. It was his sword cutting something...

By the time he came back down, he was already falling and gasping into ice from grief and lack of air. His lungs hurt and his body felt so numb. His feet hurt... his hands from palm to knuckle are scarred and cut... he smells metal... Where were you?

Anyone, from Liu Qingge to Yue Qingyuan, who try to touch him are batted away and told to basically fuck off. Let him have a goddamn moment... ! If the demons were all dead, good! Time to send humans in for treason and murder of one of their own!

After some time alone, his emotions are bottled again as he rests in the ice. He knew they shouldn't have come here, you were too soft. He had always loathed those with proper families and you had been a part of that once upon a time, but now that argument of yours about love made him feel things he didn't like. Betrayal for you. It wasn't his place to feel betrayed, he hated them. He feels hate. Justified hate.

While on the ice and watching your family heads being put in cuffs for trial, he finally feels it. Finally, something in him settles enough to be colder than any blizzard or frost has made his skin feel. His heart freezes over once more, but it still pumps blood bleeding for you faster as he panics realizes.

You're gone. Far and beyond, you're gone without him.

surprise! I read volume 1 of svss

conclusion:

okay, on a serious note - I know, I know, but the curiosity was really getting to me, and I like to know what I'm dealing with when I criticize something (if you were following me when I decided to read the mdzs novel, you'll remember I did the same thing then). anon who asked me if I'd ever read it because they wanted to hear my thoughts and I said no - well, if you're still out there, you got your wish. but only volume one (1/4 of the full story). read on for my impression and review.

many thanks to jana @neixins for being my discord reading buddy for this project! her support, insights, and companionship made this far more entertaining than it would have otherwise been

fun fact before we start: I don't know why svss is exclusively referred to by its english acronym, but the acronym for its mandarin title would be RZFZX (full title Rén zhā fǎnpài zìjiù xìtǒng). I suppose svss (or SVS, or SV) is snappier

this is the official translation I'm reading, and the writing style is fine. definitely easier to parse than orv. and the art really is lovely

tw for discussion of grooming, abuse, and rape

brief overview of the plot: protag shen yuan, a modern-day young adult, is reading a long, terrible male power fantasy/stallion novel and complaining about how contrived and stupid it is. he dies at the moment he finishes reading and is transmigrated into the novel in the body of the infamously cruel and sadistic teacher of the protag, shen qingqiu. he knows that the young protagonist of the novel (luo binghe) will enact terrible revenge on the teacher when he grows up for all the abuse he suffered under sqq's hands, so he tries to make nice and get the lbh to like him

shen yuan (now sqq) has to navigate the rules of the system while trying to save his own skin, avoid acting ooc while trying to be nice to the mc, advance the plot, get 'badass points', and resolve the issues that led to the work being of such poor quality. his modern, internal monologue contrasts with his scholarly air in very funny ways, and his constant critiques of the writing are likewise fairly humorous commentaries on lazy and stereotypical writing

however, the parodies of contrived, cliched, and foolish writing tropes do not stop mxtx from writing these very same tropes into later works like mdzs or tgcf, nor does her pointing out those tropes automatically make her book good, so it's an incredibly exasperating experience. I thought she improved since writing mdzs, but it seems like she knows that what she's doing is cliched or pandering but she does it anyway. much like sy, we're exasperated because this could have been a really cool work and the execution is just not what it could have been

this book also has the dubious honor of being the only mxtx book to reference incest without condemning it or recognizing it's disgusting

I do think mxtx has a genuine talent for critiquing sexist and absurd romance tropes for straight couples, but she writes as if whatever gay people do to each other is fine. readers of tgcf and mdzs will know....in fact as much as I hate to say it, the moment in mdzs where wwx apologizes for assaulting lwj is one of the better ways she's handled these things. of course it's ruined later because lwj literally doesn't care he's been raped and they move past it immediately etc. but I would be shocked if the inappropriateness of the svss relationship is EVER addressed, so mdzs may actually be the one where it's handled slightly better. we know the age gap never comes up in tgcf, of course

anyway mxtx makes fun of the idea of a female love interest providing the mc with free therapy while she constructs a scenario in which sqq has to take on a love interest's role of support/inspiration

examples: this is a character that's presented as poorly-wriiten

this is LITERALLY how xuan ji tgcf was written except she hates pm instead of being obsessed with him like was in the past!! don't critique shitty writing for female characters if you refuse to do better!

the characters are not especially noteworthy, and unlike in tgcf or mdzs the mc has no real distinctive style, either visually or personality-wise. almost everyone was either very one-dimensional, unlikable, or just boring imo. I get that we're very early into the novel, but I don't really care about these characters at all. shame because it sounds like the side characters are really fun later on

the modern-day origins of sy make for some funny references - there are mentions of harry potter, and the book he gets isekaid into apparently has a ton of fanfiction

the horror is quite good - some of those monsters are freaky as hell. she always did have a knack for horror

much like mdzs has a ton of literary references, svss has a lot of references to modern films and tv shows, and to things like chinese ads or websites that a modern-day chinese reader would recognize, but that a translator would need to explain. it also does have some proverbs and wordplay as well

as for the elephant in the room: I consider the relationship in this novel to be grooming rather than csa/pedophilia. they may not get together until they're adults, but the mc is 14 years old when sy is isekaid in and there is absolutely already some kind of mutual something going on as early as chapter 1, despite sy criticizing other characters for being creepy with their students and referring to lbh as a child repeatedly. while sqq doesn't act on any of these feelings, it is impossible to ignore in their interactions and it did give me a helpless sense that I was in a horror movie

mxtx toes the line and tries to get away with as much as possible - adult/child relationships and grooming are a joke to her and her readers, something exciting, something fun, but like in tgcf, nothing actually happens

they would have had a much better relationship as simply master and student. or if the romance needed to be there, sy could have been isekaid into one of lbh's peers, as he had plenty of bullies his age - gay love changing the course of the narrative is a fun trope and if they'd been the same age, I genuinely would have enjoyed it. but lbh venerates and hero-worships his teacher, and this kind of power dynamic doesn't just cease to matter once he hits 18. he was an abused and vulnerable child offered kindness and support, and he latched onto and became obsessed with his teacher. getting a crush on a teacher is fine, but it shouldn't have turned into a romance. like tgcf, the issues with the main couple are foundational, but they could have been eliminated by the author just not being a fucking creep

also, sqq is vain and self-centered, and while he treats lbh kindly and praises him, he also treats him like a servant and shamelessly exploits his hero-worship to get good food and manual labor out of him. he's out for his survival so I understand him acting selfishly, but he internally talks down to all the characters he meets if he thinks they're poorly written, and it makes it a nightmare to be in his head for very long bc he's so mean. he is funny, but but he fucking sucks and I dislike him as a main character. compared to wwx and xl, he's the worst main character in terms of personality (even if he's much better than the original sqq)

for specific examples for the inappropriate writing of their relationship, all in this volume:

there are several vague descriptions of ~feelings~ on both sides when they see each other (lbh is 14)

at one point, sqq is poisoned in a way that he knows can only be cured by sex with lbh, and he thinks of it briefly before laughing it off like 'wow that would be CRAZY' as always mxtx, jokes are a great way to handle statutory rape. excerpt:

💀💀💀💀💀

lbh overhears that sqq praised him, and the character he overhears it from is described as a wingman (lnh is 15)

one of the disciples is angry that sqq suddenly favors lbh. excerpt:

after lbh 'dies' at age 17, sqq scolds himself, saying he's acting like a widow who's husband has died

so while nothing romantic or sexual happens this volume, the groundwork is there. see this screenshot from chapter 5 of the novel (originally chapter 30), at the very end of this volume:

if sqq had no attraction to his student, there would be no reason to be so panicked

it's like...nobody acts normally about this. lbh and sqq have the weirdest quasi-flirtatious conversations that skirt the edge of being explicitly romantic/sexual. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this was written to appeal to people who are into age gaps and grooming, if not outright csa. have some more excerpts

like...what IS THIS?

at the end of this volume, lbh is sent away for five years by sqq (he was forced to drop him into a demon abyss bc he needed to advance the plot) so when lbh returns he will be 22 and presumably VERY angry with sqq, and will probably use his newfound power to...torture him? or something? I don't know how their relationship will go from now on, but I have no interest in reading it when I know it's going to end with them as lovers. yeah, even if it does happen when they're both in their late 20s

otherwise, the first few chapters of the novel are extremely funny. it and has a lot of original ideas. but it's difficult to ignore such a premise, and I don't think it's worth it to grit your teeth through unless you have a particular interest in reading this book, to either critique it, enjoy the humor and creativity, or try to figure out why people are so hell-bent on defending it. and honestly by chapter 4 (around ch25 in the original novel), it's not even that funny anymore and the parody aspect has worn out since there's so little of substance to replace it. the og novel is mocked for being a cliched mess, but these are mxtx's actual characters now and she doesn't really seem to do much better with them

the age gap in tgcf is creepy too and I definitely don't like that hc became fixated on xl at a young age, impersonated a little kid, and then reverted back to a little-kid form, but xl not actually knowing him or forming a relationship with him back then is part of why I'm less grossed out about it than I otherwise would be. xl didn't know who hc was when they met and they had barely any relationship when hc was a little kid. he was just a fun guy and they started hanging out together. hc wasn't a young boy placed under his care who he started developing feelings for oh my god I hate sqq so much

there was a side character that sqq describes as 'beautiful' who he had a somewhat antagonistic relationship with who would have been a PERFECT love interest for sqq if he wasn't a fucking creep and im so mad that they didn't become lbh's gay dads instead of whatever the fuck went on

tl; dr: an engaging and original premise with a lot of humor. clever and insightful in many ways, with some great horror scenes, but as in other novels, unable to be normal about gay people and inescapably, unnecessarily ruined by the grooming between the main character and his love interest and the abuse that apparently comes afterwards. also ignorant to its own faults, sexism, and illogical stances even as it parodies others

spoilers for the rest of the book

-

-

-

according to a beloved mewtual who has provided me summary for the rest (thank you for the info!), the relationship is fucked up for the remainder of the book for completely different reasons

ready? after lbh comes back, sqq is freaked out and doesn't want anything to do with him because he thinks lbh is going to kill him. lbh in fact doesn't want to kill him, but has apparently undergone a complete personality change and is now just a bitter and VERY yandere asshole and proceeds to torment, stalk, harass, torture, and sexually assault sqq until sqq agrees to be in a relationship with him. this abuse and shifting of power dynamics could have been handled in an interesting way, but it isn't, and who's surprised

later in the story lbh is risking qi deviation, so sqq reluctantly (and painfully?) dual-cultivates with him. I heard years ago about some kind of rape torture porn scene and I assume this is what it was referring to

I cannot imagine the appeal this romance holds for fans because this sounds completely fucking miserable and victim-blamy as hell, but uhhh they get married in one of the extras

as for the side characters, a lot of them are kind of doing their own thing? they sound like a ton of fun compared to the main guys. there's a demon snake guy, they're a cool demon lady who's kind of in lesbians with another disciple, there's another gay couple who are like insane and assholes but seem perfect for each other so 👍

anyway bingqiu is abusive but surprisingly not because of sqq, though I haven't forgotten him being creepy about his student this volume either. I can't believe svss was just proto-killing stalking this entire time. aside from glorifying abuse and victim-blaming, that's just so fucking boring. what a disappointment. for all their faults, mdzs and tgcf had legitimately magnificent scenes, complex relationships, interesting plots, heartfelt emotional moments, and compelling characters. no wonder this is the unfavorite of the batch - it's absolutely the worst in every way and it sounds like it doesn't get much better

if you're going to send me anon hate about this like 'your interest is problematic too' or 'let people enjoy things' just save yourself the time and block me first. I absolutely do not care about your opinion and I'll just delete it unless you're explaining something I've misunderstood in good faith. and even then I think so lowly of the fans of this novel I might just delete it anyway, after screenshotting it and sharing it with my mutuals to laugh at. get some fucking taste. that's all

Favorite color: black, and darker shades of purple and indigo.

Currently reading: Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt (manga), Maison Ikkoku (manga), and the MXTX light novels: Heaven Official’s Blessing (Tiān Guān Cì Fú / 天官赐福), Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mó Dào Zǔ Shī / 魔道祖师), and Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System ( Rén Zhā Fǎnpài Zìjiù Xìtǒng / 人渣反派自救系统).

I’m hoping that the manhua for the MXTX novels will get official English translations and print release (I have some difficulty reading comics in digital format). Also, because I’m greedy, please somebody license the novel and manhua for Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (Lièhuǒ Jiāo Chóu / 烈火澆愁).

Last series I watched: Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (donghua), and The Sopranos (live-action TV). I really need to catch up on season 3 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, and Space Battleship Yamato 2205.

Please somebody license the donghua for Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation.

Last movie I watched: The Thing (1982). Such a great film. The special effects hold up well enough, and the Collector’s Edition blu-ray did well with the video (good depth of colors, film grain is balanced, etc)

Currently working on: avoiding reality. Should probably water my plants.

I will tag @headspacedad and @yamatonerd2199

hi! I saw your post asking why the fandom uses the English abbreviation for SVSSS. I'm not sure if you've got an answer yet and I'm not a super long-time fan so I don't know if there's a 'lore' reason, but I would guess that it's just because it's a lot easier? TGCF and MDZS aren't so bad because they're fairly short but the pinyin for SV is 'Rén zhā fǎnpài zìjiù xìtǒng' which would abbreviate to RZFPZJXT, which... is more than a little wordy and difficult to remember lol. To be fair though, even TGCF fans sometimes refer to it as 'HOB', and a lot of English MDZS fans just use 'cql' or 'Untamed'. I assume however that with those it mostly depends on preference + which adaptation you're familiar with. Anyway I hope this answers your question if you were still wondering!! Enjoy the rest of your day :) ♡♡

Okay, yeah, RZFPZJXT doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. That's a pretty good reason right there. (Ironically the phrase The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System is pretty long in and of itself lmao)

I have seen HOB showing up a bit here and there. I've sometimes had to stop and think what it means since I'm so used to TGCF lol And, me personally, I use CQL when I mean the live-action adaptation and MDZS when I mean the novel, animation, or manhua. But that's just me and my tagging system. I think I've come across "MoDao" as an abbreviation too. I was at a con early this summer and heard a couple other fans say it out loud like that, "mo dao," (no tones) and I had to recalibrate real quick. "Wait, is that what we're calling it? Okay, cool." (I was wearing a Xie Lian cosplay at the time so if I looked confused, I was just in character. That’s what I’ve been telling myself.)

I'm pretty new around here myself, so I was curious about the Ancient History. Thanks!

why is the tag meatbun doesn't eat meat? I love how enthusiastic people are getting about xianxia and wuxia web novels lol but I haven't been able to read them yet and the fandom language is... sometime incomprehensible (I assume they're all typical chinese homophone puns but not sure) and I need help T.T

Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat is the name of the author who wrote The Husky and His White Cat Shizun (the book title is shortened to 2ha or erha). The author's name is Chinese is 肉包不吃肉 (Ròu Bāo Bù Chī Ròu) and they are often called Meatbun for short. She has also written Remnants of Filth and Case File Compendium.

I agree, the fandom language is difficult to figure out, and some of it is incomprehensible unless you are very familiar with specific books. I'm glad translators usually include notes that explain the puns in the names (like how Xia Sini in 2ha is a homophone for "scare you to death"). It doesn't make it any easier that most characters go by multiple names and titles. Then fans have the shortened version of the names like WWX, XL, and SQQ, especially in the MXTX fandoms.

The best way to get into the fandoms is to pick a series and start reading. Once you have some context then it is much easier to figure out and remember all the fandom jargon. I've only read 4 series so far:

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation - Mo Dao Zu Shi (MDZS) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (MXTX)

Heaven Official's Blessing - Tiān Guān Cì Fú (TGCF) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (MXTX)

Scum Villain's Self Saving System - Rén zhā fǎnpài zìjiù xìtǒng (SVSSS) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (MXTX)

The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Èr hā hé tā de bái māo shī zūn (erha or 2ha) by Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat

All of these series are being published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment. The series by MXTX will all be complete at the end of this month (the last volume of Heaven Official's Blessing is coming out on 11/28/23). Erha still has a long way to go before the official translation is done, but if you need I have a collection of fan and machine translations that are complete if you want to read that one. Just shoot me a private message.
