#hahaha i love the confusion lbh would be in

[cooliogirl101]

that little snippet with Sayuri and Shen Jiu makes me incredibly curious about that AU. How much interaction have they had up to that point (because I'm assuming it was the real Haitang at some point? Or did Sayuri wake up without powers so had to bide her time or something)? Also how differently would the plot go, because I can't imagine Sayuri would stand for Shen Jiu treating children poorly or the suspicions of Shen Jiu's martial siblings/old peak lords

Yeah I definitely viewed it as a transmigration thing, where Sayuri landed in Qiu Haitang's body shortly before the Qiu massacre. I guess in this verse, I saw her as more of a mixture of Lily and Sayuri-- more jaded than Lily, less hardened than Sayuri. Maybe a Sayuri who died early on, who didn't survive the fighting rings, who thought it was over and she could finally rest-- only to wake up in yet another unfamiliar body.

Playing the part of the innocent, naive, happy-go-lucky girl (at least until she gets her bearings) is one of the more challenging things she's done but if there's one thing she's learned from Sousuke, it's how to put on a convincing mask. She latches on to Shen Jiu because his wounds so remind her of her brother's-- that same ruthless drive to do anything in order to survive.

For the first few months of their acquaintance, Shen Jiu is in a constant state of bewilderment that the girl he'd always viewed as the epitome of innocence is, in actuality, kind of a bitch. He's never felt closer to her. Shortly after they come of age, Haitang suggests very calmly and reasonably that they get married after all. She times her proposal perfectly to the split second after Shen Jiu takes a sip of tea and pretends that his resultant sputtering and choking was not at all her intention.

("It's only practical, it's not exactly a secret that you and I spend the majority of our nights together. We might as well make the rumors official. Now I've always been partial to the idea of a fall wedding, what do you think? The leaves are always so lovely that time of year, all golden and red like-- yes, the exact shade your face is turning, thank you for demonstrating, A-Jiu.")

It's a purely platonic marriage, of course, but it does wonders for fixing Shen Jiu's reputation. It's an ongoing debate on Cang Qiong over who's scarier-- the Qing Jing Peak Lord or his wife, who was once rumored to make a Black Moon Rhinoceros-Python cower away with a single glare. Things go pretty well for a while.

And then Luo Binghe arrives.

(In one world, Luo Binghe goes to bed as the Emperor of the Combined Realms with an unmatched harem of over 600 renowned beauties. When he wakes up, he is 12 years old again, weak, powerless, and back at Qing Jing Peak-- the source of some of his worst memories, a place he'd once burned to ashes. Worse, he is back at the mercy of Shen Qingqiu, who is now...happily married to the woman who was instrumental to bringing him down?)

Hot damn those MoShang headcanons were top tier sksksks, but like jealous SQH?? And jealous MBJ??? yes pls, jealous SQH sounds so cute tho omlll, 10/10 need more headcanons on that pls and thank

SORRY THIS IS LIKE MAYBE A MONTH LATE BUT YOU KNOW STUFF HAPPENS orz and I literally sat there like that one moment in Spongebob where he just sits there writing and you’re like oh wow he did so much work BUT NOPE HE JUST MADE A VERY FANCY ‘THE’ AND THAT’S WHAT I DID FOR THE PAST MONTH (or like 2 weeks idk time doesn’t exist for me rn)

BUT OH WOW I LOVE THE JEALOUSY ONES AND MAYBE I’VE JUST BEEN SITTING HERE KEEPING IT ALL TO MYSELF SO I CAN LOVE AND CHERISH MY SHIP ALL BY MYSELF??? :)))) anyways on to the good stuff *v*

I just want to see Shang QingHua try to “protect” MoBei Jun… Or rather try to cover him? Like, please don’t look at him, he’s mine??? But it’s too cute thinking about smol and elegant (and v weak hahaha) Shang QingHua stepping in front of scary demon lord MBJ in a fit of jealousy.

But I also think MBJ would do that to SQH (and probably be more successful at it???) so my brain immediately thought that they would endlessly do that in a sort of crack way?? Constantly stepping in front of the other like excuse me please don’t look here??

LIKE SERIOUSLY THERE’S JUST A GROUP OF V PRETTY WOMEN OR SOMETHING AND THEY HAVEN’T REALLY COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR FEELINGS SO THEY’RE BOTH JUST TRYING TO TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE OTHER AND THEY BOTH MISUNDERSTAND???? AND THEY JUST DO THAT UNTIL THEY’RE LIKE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TOWN OR SOMETHING???? (and then MBJ just carries SQH away with SQH protesting the whole time uwu)

I guess slightly elaborating on the past headcanon (MBJ trying to gift SQH some sweet, sweet human goods to woo him) were MBJ is v carefully looking at fans, trying to figure out which ones SQH would like the most. Our clueless about love demon lord would probably even ask SQH which ones he prefers, which only fuels SQH’s growing jealousy. Excuse me, you want me to pick out your gifts for another person??? but still helps because… well it’s more of an automatic response than anything. MBJ immediately hands the items to him, and says nothing more about it because he’s a secret v shy virgin boy.

So SQH prepares all this elaborate and beautiful boxing for the items that he assumes are gifts for one very specific Shizun that somehow caused everyone to fall in love with him. He’s pretty confused by his sudden irritation, but WHY WOULD HE ACTUALLY ACCEPT HIS OWN FEELINGS??? So SQH is just p irritated by himself.

MBJ doesn’t understand. He gave SQH the very good human items to woo him, yet he is not wooed. This requires further investigation.

Further investigation obviously means bothering BingQiu, who may or may not be more knowledgeable in this arena (hint: they aren’t). Shang QingHua follows for optimal supervision since he’s v curious as to what the fuck is going on (and to give gifts because he’s a good servant like that). ANYWAYS, so MBJ drags LBH away immediately and he’s like “Bro, the fans didn’t work.” which really puts BingBing’s brain to the test… “Did you try crying?” MBJ questions the integrity of the only person stronger than him in that moment (BUT WHO HAS A HUSBAND AND WHO DOESN’T, HUuuUUUuuUUuuUUuuUuuuUUUuuUuuHHHhhhHhhH???)

Meanwhile, the two modern bros are left alone. Queue our very jealous Airplane Bro interrogating Cucumber Bro with an assortment of boxes placed in front of them. “Why is my king buying you all sorts of gifts??!” and Cucumber Bro is just v confused and has to explain that there is absolutely nothing going on.

“Then why did he give me these fans?”

“Are you that fucking stupid?”

“Who are you calling fucking stupid? You turned all of my sons gay, how could I not think this was that case?”

“Which sons did I turn gay??? Maybe you just wrote the characters so poorly that they couldn’t help but fall in love with the first decent person they met?”

SQH is v awestruck for a good few minutes… “That’s not the point! Why would he give me fans and clothes?”

“Please don’t make me answer that…”

SQH, v embarrassed about everything, starts putting away all the boxes, but not before the other two return. Of course the two tactless beings just start opening them, leaving SQH extra embarrassed.

“Why did you bring these?” MBJ asks, his tone slightly displeased.

“Ah, you see… I was so happy to receive these from my king that I wanted to show them to someone who was well versed in the quality of such objects.”

SQQ commends Airplane Bro on his ability to lie through his teeth, truly he has some skills. MBJ IMMEDIATELY PULLS SQH AWAY, EXCUSE US VERY MUCH WE HAVE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO NOT HERE SORRY BYE

Feel free to imagine whatever you want here

Bonus!

“My king, I do appreciate the gifts, but I don’t really care for fans this much,” Shang Qinghua comments, carefully sorting through the mountain of boxes. He suddenly regrets his decision to speak, feeling the air turn a particularly unfriendly level of chill.

“Then why do you always carry them around?” There was an all too familiar frown on Mobei Jun’s face that almost made Shang Qinghua laugh when he turned to face the man. Was he seriously pouting?

However, when Shang Qinghua remembered the true reason he had carried fans with him, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat a little before replying, “Do you remember the time we first met?” Mobei Jun only nodded, clearly a bit impatient with where this was going. “That night, you were injured and came down with a fever, right? I had to go around and ask for fans so I could help you cool down. Ah… so ever since then I just got into the habit of carrying them… in case you needed them…”

The distance between the two was closed immediately. He could feel the demon lord’s strong arms embrace him, and, not knowing what to do, he grabbed the front of the other’s robes. Truly, he felt so embarrassed that he quickly buried his face in Mobei Jun’s chest, feeling the relief of the ice demon’s cool skin against his flushed cheeks. “Qinghua.”

“Yes, my king?”

“You’re making me hot all over now, how do you propose we fix this?”
