Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu

Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made. Faith. His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs. "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him. I remember you. I remember you. I will always, for as long as I live, remember you. (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.) (MULTIPLE TRANSLATIONS AVAILABLE)

Initially, Shen Yuan’s plan had been to get into Qing Jing Peak. But on second thought, he’d realized that being a disciple at the same peak as the future vengeful protagonist might put him in his warpath, even if he didn’t participate in any bullying or anything (which to be clear, he was in no way planning to do), since he wasn’t a pretty girl that Luo Binghe would bestow his mercy on and take into his harem. So, in the end, he settled for becoming a background character – aka, becoming an An Ding Peak disciple. And to be clear, just not becoming a cultivator in this particular sect was absolutely not an option. There was no way in hell that Shen Yuan was going to miss out on his chance to witness the Luo Binghe in action. Or, Shen Yuan, transmigrated into the body of a poor orphan somewhere in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, becomes an An Ding Peak disciple so that he can stay in range of his favorite character, the main character, Luo Binghe. As long as he keeps interaction with Luo Binghe to a minimum and gets the hell out of dodge before the razing of Cang Qiong, he'll be perfectly fine, right? So then why the hell does he keep getting dragged into the plot?!

If Shen Yuan wanted to steal his life so desperately... ...Then Shen Jiu would gladly give it to him... Betrayed by his loved ones, and killed by his husband... Shen Jiu lived a miserable life from start to finish; but when he woke up sixteen years in the past with the ability to change his fate. Shen Jiu swore to get his revenge on those who deceived him and make them pay... ...Falling in love wasn't part of his plans though...

Mu Qingfang offers him a small bronze mirror. Shen Qingqiu takes it—evidently there’s no more putting this off. He looks into the mirror. A teenager, his hair and robes askew, his face streaked with blood, stares dully back at him. Ah, he realizes. Beneath the blood, half of it smeared across his face as though he had started to wipe it away at one point, he looks to be in his middling-to-late teens. Probably around seventeen or maybe eighteen— Pain stabs deep in his chest. That’s how old Luo Binghe is. Was. or: at the edge of the Abyss, Shen Qingqiu has a qi deviation. When he wakes, he finds he has lost far more than he can bear--or than he realizes.

Shen Yuan managed to have an easey life with Luo Binghe. Until a little problem makes them close the Demon Kingdom to humans due to a little brat who decided to control demons, ghosts and zombies. Wei Wuxian just wants to kill all the Wens. And Xie Lian is happy wandering the world and colleting things.

Deep in the Endless Abyss, Luo Binghe's only escape is his infrequent dreams of home and a master that seems to miss him, but there's something very strange about these dreams. Sometimes, it's almost like they aren't his.

Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe slowly come to a mutual understanding. It does take Shen Qingiu a little longer to actually reach it, however.
