Liu Qingge: the third Shen son agreed instead of their daughter? I'll go in place of Liu Mingyan because I want my sister to have the freedom to choose someone she loves

Shen Tang: do we tell them we're dating?

He knows better than to box in the one with densely packed withdrawn circulation, while he gets along better than most with the one thats irritable with qi like a sheild.

Sqq is paranoid about how mqf treats him (sees through his self dooming bullshit) and mqf just wants to crack him open like a crab and understand him.

I think I've seen SY get transmigrated into every wife except The Little Palace Mistress (or SHL) and I cannot stop thinking about how AWFUL that would be for him, especially if the System is being a dick about OOC stuff.

Personally, I love the transmigrates into a random wife fics that fuck a little with gender, but I also really like the ones that fuck a little with gender dysphoria (the LMY one I'm gonna link cos its so good, BREAKS ME) and I think that would be a horrendous situation to be in, because the Old Palace Master is the Old Palace Master.

So generic and/or SY transmigrates backstory: The Little Palace Mistress loses her mom early and then even though she is a cultivator and could be heir apparent minus stupid misogyny rules in a stallion novel presumably, is pressured into the role of a female noble basically since Huan Hua Palace is a rich asshole sect. And she's not allowed to be dirty and rough house or do fun cool weird shit like look at beasts and creatures. I love the idea of her and Gongyi Xiao being childhood besties and maybe since GYX is 'just a guy' he ends up being the only one that will let LPM pretend for a bit that 'her' name is Yuan and he's a shidi not a shimei.

Eventually SY gets around the OOC restrictions, but probably other than GYX he doesn't have a lot of outlets and has to still cosplay as a pretty bitch (much like he does as SQQ tbh). He's like the most popular shijie around and at some point SQH hears about the sweet lovely Palace Mistress that all of Huan Hua Palace shidi and shimei adore and is like what is happening???

The system REFUSES to let SY pick a different spiritual weapon which he thinks is bullshit but eventually is able to at least practice on swords a bit (cos you can't fly on a whip goddamit) but does get pretty cool and artsy with his whip. (Him and GYX secretly doing sword shit and giggling possibly also at some point getting caught and the OPM putting his foot down even harder about LPM being a proper lady).

And LPM is not allowed to participate in the Immortal Alliance Conference, which is also bullshit! SY is prepared to be part of the harem and just be less of a violent bitch to his sister-wives but he wants to meet White Lotus Binghe too! Maybe he dresses up as a boy and sneaks into the participant camp (maybe GYX helps, he's a GOOD DUDE after all and what is a story without someone else being hit by SY's wife beam). And SY gets to meet Binghe before the competition and also walk around the other Sect camps being completely unknown and having gender euphoria. He gets to nerd out with Binghe maybe about some of the creatures he might see (and ofc the System won't let him do anything cool like warn him, but maybe he sneaks some shit into his qiankun bag and is like I'm just spoiling my future husband it's flirting ok??? to get away with it) -- LPM gets outed by one of the HHP disciples visiting the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect camp and Binghe is like frowny face protagonist quick to understand brain and continues to refer to LPM as Yuan-shidi.

Of course he's imprinted by that point and then discovers all the shit SY snuck into his qiankun bag when he's in the Abyss and it's all useful as hell (pun intended) and he gets out maybe a year or two quicker and ofc goes to Huan Hua Palace. SY thinks of course it's the revenge scheme and is a little worried about his best bro GYX, but Binghe's just there to punt LPM's dad out the window and free him to live his life as the Little Palace Yuan.

In its haste to put you in a fresh new child body, it has randomly selected two characters to be your biological parents! Regardless of timeline, the system will make sure these two end up together with a nice fresh baby. However, it cannot interfere with how your new parents will treat you or each other. This means one or both of them could kill each other, leave immediately, or be perfect and loving parents.

Spin the wheel twice to determine your parents! If you get a child character (like white lotus Binghe) or two biologically related parents, spin again.

Wu Ming forming in a male body when he manifests but not having time to unpack it other than assuming it’s because he was masquerading as a man when he died, ignoring the sense of satisfaction when he burns his old body to gather his ashes

It’s not until going through the kiln and emerging as Hua Cheng that he realizes he has the capability to shift his body however he wants and that he prefers to be a man

Panicking that Xie Lian won’t want him as a man, crafting all sorts of female forms thinking he just didn’t like his old appearance and that he will like it if he makes himself beautiful enough, but knowing that it’s just not right

Deciding when the time finally comes to appear to Xie Lian first and foremost as himself because it was through him that he learned to be himself in the first place

In PIDW it was used for a wife plot -- obviously -- and part of the plot was that it took Luo Binghe weeks to develop an immunity to the item, during which time he was forced to be the sex slave of the wife who used it (Peerless Cucumber had opinions on that, you better believe).

Obviously Shen Qingqiu keeps the item, both to keep it out of the hands of that dubious wife, but also as a last resort in case Luo Binghe comes after him and he needs to make a quick escape.

Which of course does happen after the confrontation in Jinlan City, when Binghe gives chase and, in canon, force-feeds Shen Qingqiu his blood. In this case however after Shen Qingqiu gets cornered, he hypnotizes LBH in order to regain control of the situation.

His plan was just to stop Binghe and then carry on escaping, but there's a problem. The hypnosis item isn't like, a constant upkeep deal, it's a one-and-done it's supposed to permanently hypnotize the target. It won't work forever on a Heavenly Demon, of course, but in his hypnotized state Luo Binghe is just... helplessly waiting in place to be given commands.

Shen Qingqiu hadn't realized it would be quite that effective at first.

What will happen to Binghe if he leaves him? PIDW hadn't specified, the wife who used the plot item had been able to control Binghe and keep him all to herself. But if she hadn't, would Luo Binghe have been inclined to comply with the orders of just anyone who came around?

That's really dangerous. Even though LBH is very hard to kill, plenty of other bad things can be done to him. Case in point: the original wife plot! Not to mention, someone commanding LBH to use his immense powers on their behalf doesn't bear thinking about.

So, Shen Qingqiu considers his options, and then decides to leave a note for his shidi and escort LBH all the way back to Qing Jing Peak with him. No time to spare, because he doesn't want to risk anyone else coming along and giving Luo Binghe a order, or figuring out that he's been hypnotized and accusing Shen Qingqiu of doing it. Even though he is and he did.

This unexpectedly sidesteps the Old Palace Master's setup to frame Shen Qingqiu, because he's not there to get accused or recognized by anyone when the sower situation is wrapped up.

Instead he settles Luo Binghe back into the side room on Qing Jing Peak, seals Xin Mo away as best he can, and weighs his options and just decides, actually this is a good thing. Probably. Maybe.

It won't make Binghe want to kill him any less once it wears off, obviously, but it buys Shen Qingqiu some more time. Time to make sure the plant body's ready, to plan some contingencies, and to maybe even lead LBH on a wild goose chase that will keep him from targeting Cang Qiong sect with his ire. At least, for a while.

All he has to do is keep Binghe safe and comfortable and convince everyone that he just came back of his own volition, make sure to give him enough orders to follow that no one else can try ordering him around with contradicting it (he verifies with Shang Qinghua that the hypnotism effect will prioritize the caster's commands over anyone else's), keep him otherwise pretty hidden, and as soon as he sees the telltale signs of the hypnotism wearing off and Binghe trying to murder him again then he'll hit the road!

Binghe Stage One after shrugging off the hypnosis:

--Oh I see. I didn't actually escape the Abyss and am stuck under one of those illusions where something convinces me I'm in a nice place while it tries to eat me alive. Well, at least it's actually a pretty pleasant illusion. I'll just wait for some cracks to show and then peel it open and kill whatever's eating me.

Stage Two:

--Oh it's not an illusion. I never have to pee during those. So... what???

Stage Three:

--If Shizun thinks he can control me through hypnosis, he's not afraid that I will go berserk and kill everyone with my evil demon powers. I can go back to being his good disciple again! I can stay with Shizun!

Stage Four:

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.
