List of Shen Qiao’s incredible violence that lives in my head

(spoilers throughout the entire Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns novel)

I've seen people complain that Shen Qiao should go apeshit or that he's too soft and forgiving, so I've compiled an (incomplete) list of the times Shen Qiao canonically goes apeshit/shows absolutely no forgiveness.

Beating up a gang of thugs while blind and threatening to poke their eyes out so they become just like him.

Castrating a serial r*pist.

Stabbing a man through the heart with a branch.

Taking a group of people hostage and forcing them (with threats of grievous bodily harm) to eat all the food they dumped on the ground because hello, people are starving to death literally one city wall away, assholes.

Pushing an opponent he just killed to the ground because he decided the guy doesn’t deserve a dignified death.

Threatening to cut people into smithereens and demonstrating how he would do it.

Straight up killing two would-be child-murderers in the span of 10 seconds.

Condemning a man to a fate worse than death as punishment (twice).

#qian qiu #thousand autumns #shen qiao #meng xishi #his boundless kindness is made more significant once you consider the amount of harm he's capable of doing #this man looked at the immensely cruel world he lives in and said 'well i better try not add to the atrocities'#then situation forces his hand and he goes 'incredible violence it is then'#also it's interesting how many people think he's forgiving when he's simply moving on #just because he is no longer mad at them doesn't mean he's forgiven or forgotten the transgression #in the case of Chen Gong he literally REFUSES to let go of what that kid did to survive an impossible situation #like what exactly do you expect him to do with a sword hanging over his head sir #text post
