#and doesnt want to lose sqq as a friend after trying and failing to date him :>

I honestly can't remember if I said anything here about Couple's Goodluck Charm lqg?

When he's a disciple he gets a crush on, like, two of his shixiongs who are pining over each other and ends up having a fling with both of them before they start dating each other. They end up in a committed relationship and lowkey cite dating lqg as their inciting incident.

Later he ends up dating an established couple known from breaking up and getting back together and after they dated him they end up stabilizing and getting married.

They say lqg was their good luck charm and he gets kind of a reputation.

Now anyone who wants good luck in their relationship try to catch lqg's eye bc him being interested in you is seen as a blessing!

When he starts hanging around yqy everyone thinks the Era of good luck Liu Qingge will end bc obviously yqy is a catch and they'll actually end up together but then yqy brings home sj. Everyone can tell yqy is obsessed with sj, so now everyone thinks lqg's good luck extends to finding your soulmate in general even if you aren't currently in a relationship. AND then sj and lqg become RIVALS and the yqy & sj ships crashes and burns so lqg's reputation evolves once more

So it goes: if lqg is interested in you as a couple then you're guaranteed good fortune in your relationship. If you're single then you will have terrible luck.

People are already intimidated by him bc he's gaining such a bold reputation as Bai zhan's succeeding disciple, and now with the Relationship Lore people never approach him interested in Him

He cements a few more relationships throughout his time as a disciple and Peak Lord (probably a few more disciples, Mqf & WQW, maybe, when they become peak lords) and ruins a few others incidentally so his reputation grows into like a folk tale that everyone passes on to each other

So of course lqg's crush is seen as very Ominous and Foreboding for sqq and when lbh pops up everyone is like. Whoop. Lqg Curse strikes again.

Funnily enough, when bingqiu happens and friendly interaction with demons become more common, when lqg's Lore is shared the demons flip the omens. Lqg fighting lbh for five years read as being interested and now lbh is off living his happiest life. Lqg tried removing sqh's head from his shoulders and now mbj has a devoted life partner. Obviously Liu qingge fighting you/being interested in you in the demon way is a blessing of good fortune

Anyways, when lbh hears that dating lqg as a third means your relationship will last forever, OF COURSE he tries to get that extra bit of assurance :>

(I think... moshang also want a piece of lqg's relationship luck. It becomes bingqiu and moshang competing over Liu Qingge)

#misc #it's actuallynreally angsty though bc #hah no one actually wants a committed relationship with lqg #he's honestly tried to make it Work with everyone he's dated #but increasingly people are just phoning it in with him #after getting wqw & mqf together he stops dating #lowkey bc seeing two people he liked move on together without him #hes kind of over trying haha #his crush on sqq is also probably so slow and awkward bc he is Aware of his badluck reputation #and doesnt want to lose sqq as a friend after trying and failing to date him :> #so bingqiu and moshang flirting with him #increasingly seemingly earnestly kind of charms him #(bc theyre competing they get really into courting him #so it comes off pretty genuine to lqg) #so even if bingqiu or moshang develop honest feelings for him #it will come out that they were trying to cash in on the lqg goodluck which wont be fun for anyone but me! :) #i guess... interspersed with this are demons whonwant to fight lqg but thats normal haba
