She'll do this for half an hour if I let her

OG! SQH/ XF! SQH

Those twin peaks of An Ding.

One seems to knows everything.

And the other one is always scheming.

@i-fucking-love-scumplane comments got me so so bad I doodled it everybody says thank you for the incredible idea

But it wasn't just that Grace was afraid. It was that he genuinely didn't think he could do it. Over and over he doesn't see how much value he brings to the project and his imposter syndrome makes him devalue his work and abilities, as well as the very realistic belief he voices that someone completely untrained will struggle to function at all in space, let alone pull off a miracle mission. Sure, it turns out he COULD do it, and a braver man might have ignored the doubts and logic Grace crumpled under, but while debating the validity of his fear of death, whether he should truly be called a coward, and how for the greater good or not his sacrifice was unethical, the audience has really missed the equally important question of his right to determine what he is capable of, and to say that the answer is no.

Grace did not think he could save the sun and that is too important to his tragedy to lose sight of. It's not just that Stratt was killing him. It's that he didn't believe him going would save anyone. She didn't just invalidate his worth as someone who deserved to live, someone with no one not even a dog could be sacrificed, she also wronged him by ignoring his extremely fair beliefs that he wasn't actually capable of what she was asking. You are killing me was one half of it, the other was you are forcing my death to be me attempting something I believe is impossible. That was genuinely what Grace believed as he fell unconscious, and it's just as important as the fear.

Only he finds out quickly.... Bingge kinda sucks at actually running a kingdom...multiple kingdoms.

Basically with court if it's something dramatic airplane could make money off Bingge is not good at it.

Administration is chaos, order is being held together buy a thread.

SY tries to talk to protagonist but he's just an NPC and Bingge won't even look at him. So SY tries to sort things out...

Basically SY ends up running the entire kingdoms while Bingge is off doing the plot stuff fighting or fucking or both .

It becomes an open secret that if you want to actually get stuff done talk to SY, if the emperors here you aren't going to get shit done. In fact if you have any female relatives don't interact with the emperor unless you want them to most likely join the harem.

If the emperor is there odds are there's going to be a fight, or papapa, most likely an assassination attempt and odds are someones going to die.

SY loved reading Bingge he's so cool best protagonist he deserves the world... but in the world he really really wants to yell at him and get him to actually fill out paper work a d have one proper court session without starting papapa with multiple wives.

SQH has transmigrated as well working in the North and MBJ listens to him... or well he just lets SQH do everything but at least he pretends to listen and looks at SQH (MBJ is never not looking at SQH)

Eventually either

A) Bingge realizing people are going to someone else, that someone is usurping power and running his kingdom. Suddenly he is paying attention to SY seeing what this usurper is planning.

Or

B) The Bingge Vs Bingmei extra happens Bingge is sulking qi deviating and using resources into some other world research?? He's destroyed SY budget he isn't going on adventures or gaining wives. He tore through the vaults of treasures that SY just finished organizing. Usually Bingge leaves for plot reasons and SY can calm down and put things in order but Bingge is still here and SY snaps and ends up charging into rooms and finally giving Bingge piece of his mind.
