hmm realistically how do you think LBH would react to meeting SJ again, post canon?
i lowkey think that he wouldn't care at all? 😭 he won the idgaf competition a long time ago except for everything that has to do with SY. if it was some sort au where SY and SJ meet and become some degree of friendly, i think he would mostly just be annoyed that there's ANOTHER rat competing for sy's attention tbh

Daily poll: do you guys think it's sadder if yqy realized that sy!sqq isn't actually Shen Jiu as soon as the peak lords had their meeting, or if he still believes that sy!sqq is Shen Jiu and he's finally found happiness without him
I love svsss, it’s a great book. I love Sj, he’s a complex character with a great story. I hate how ppl treat Sj. Everyone talks about how poor Sj deserved better, he shouldn’t have been murdered. Lbh is in the wrong for killing him.
Sj 100% deserved his ending. He was a terrible person. Yes, his backstory is really tragic, but that doesn’t excuse his abuse and neglect of his peak and duties.
Sj wasn’t some innocent bystander in Lbh’s abuse. He actively participated and promoted it. He has the choice to not pick Lbh, but he did. He saw a 13 yr old boy and was a jealous 40+ yr old man. No one forced Sj to pick Lbh. That was his choice to take him.
After willingly taking Lbh on as a disciple, he abused him to no end. He motivated everyone to target Lbh. Yes, other peaks also had abuse/neglect going on, but that doesn’t make what Sj did okay, or any better.
He attempted to murder a child on multiple occasions. Lbh has done absolutely nothing to Sj, yet he tried to kill Lbh multiple times. He even gave Lbh the faulty cultivation novel so he would have a qi deviation. He make Lbh fight a demon who was 10x his strength. Everything he did was to abuse Lbh, a child he willingly let onto his peak. To top it off, he pushed Lbh into literal hell(I give hims some slack bc that was the whole demon Lbh reveal).
This neglect didn’t even stop at Lbh, he neglected the rest of his peak. He was a terrible master for his peak. He also treated the people around him like shit. Everyone didn’t hate him for no reason. He was a cold and cruel man to his fellow peak lords. Their dislike didn’t come from thin air.
Then, after everything, when Lbh is enacting his revenge, he admits to not regretting a single Thing he did. Sj even said if he could do it again, or would do worse to Lbh.
Not once is Sj remorseful for what he did to a child who’s only mistake was having potential. Sj did not deserve any better than what he got. A sad backstory is no excuse for his terrible actions.
Yes, Yqy not coming back for Sj was terrible. Yes the abuse Sj went through as a slave was horrible. That does not change the horrendous person he turned into. There was no external force that made Sj pick Lbh, nothing making him abuse Lbh. All of his actions were his own, of his own free will.
TLDR: Sj nah have a tragic backstory, but he still deserved his ending.
this fic honestly makes me crazy insane and its a crime i haven't finished writing it
During a Peak Lord meeting, Yue Qingyuan is given a strange gift. Recognizing it, Shang Qinghua attempts to stop the artefact from activating, only to be caught in it as well. Now, the other Peak Lords are left with a qi deviating Sect Leader and a logistics manager who's convinced he's done insane--both of whom are suddenly seventeen.
A flicker caught Shen Qingqiu's eye, unsettling enough that it drew his attention from the hole in the wall.
Shang Qinghua, thrown back by the burst of energy, had rolled against the undamaged back wall and partially under the table. He was hunched up with his arms over his head, as though waiting to be kicked.
Looking at him was like focusing on the spots and flares of color that a migraine brought to the corners of the eye. His form flickered, as though two people were sharing the same instance of space-- one moment there was a slim boy with Shang-shidi's familiar brown hair, surging with the spiritual flares of a qi deviation. Then, like a light going out, he was replaced by a heavyset young man with ink-black hair cropped at the nape of his neck and around his ears. The change seemed to snuff out his spiritual energy again before it flickered back to life and the image shifted once more.
Caught between these two simultaneous disasters, Shen Qingqiu found himself frozen-- halfway to following the Bai Zhan oaf out through the demolished wall and halfway to investigating this incredibly unsettling sight writhing on the floor.
Mu Qingfang seemed similarly conflicted. Shen Qingqiu watched him waver, hesitate, then throw a hand out to the Peak Lord of Talismans and Enchantments.
"Li-shimei, attend to him. Wei Qingwei--" He broke off, but Wei Qingwei was already nodding and heading after Liu Qingge.
Li-shimei seemed stunned by this turn of events. Thankfully Qi Qingqi, standing near the other woman, was swifter on her feet and on the uptake. She quickly rolled her sleeves up and headed towards the flickering child, pulling Li-shimei behind her.
Thus decided, Mu Qingfang took off through the broken wall.
If Shen Qingqiu had not taken this as reason enough to follow, the bellowed scream from outside would have had him rushing out before his mind caught up to his legs.
