Been thinking more about Beefleaf recently because I've been writin a fic for them and. Yknow there's like.. just enough mentions of Shi Wudu being seemingly legitimately worried about Shi Qingxuan going down to the mortal realm in their female form and getting 'taken advantage of' that... coupled with the fact he's a known party animal who loves wine, how he laughs about how much of a virgin Xie Lian would be that he 'probably wouldn't have even held hands before,' and also the most damning thing with the bedtime story Xie Lian finds and reads to Hua Cheng, where it literally has Shi Qingxuan saying to just turn into a woman to consummate a marriage-
like it paints a pretty clear picture of shit Shi Qingxuan probably was actually up to
And then you got He Xuan hanging out with him, having spent years in prison under the charge of adultery for the crime of: *checks notes* having sex with his own fiancee who got stolen out from under him and subsequently murdered
mfer musta really just been like
