HISTORY

 

FORMATIVE_EVENT

• FIRST EVENT: - First Death – As a young man in Beijing, Shen Yuan was an avid hate-reader of the erotic dark fantasy novel Proud Immortal Demon Way, a self-published work that he frequently derides as amateurish and juvenile in its plotting and secondary characters. Yet he was obsessed over the protagonist Luo Binghe, a fact that technically lead to Shen Yuan’s own demise; when the novel finally staggered to an inglorious end, he was so busy cursing the author out in the comments section that he didn’t even notice his own body shutting down from food poisoning. Only somebody as obsessively passionate as Shen Yuan stood a chance of fixing the plot and returning “PIDW” to its author’s original vision, although it takes him hundreds of pages and multiple deaths to do it.


• SECOND EVENT: - Skinner Demon – Before he could even start working on the plot, Shen Qingqiu (nee Yuan) had to unlock the “OOC controls,” restrictions placed on his actions by the System which prevented him from doing anything the original goods would absolutely not do, such as be nice to Luo Binghe. Which was a real problem, because the new Shen Qingqiu passionately wished to be nice to Luo Binghe! To make matters worse, the mission required to unlock the OOC controls involved a logic puzzle, which it turns out is not Shen Qingqiu’s forte! He and two of his disciples are kidnapped by the very killer he’s supposed to bring to justice, and the fiend nearly steals his stolen body before he figures out two things: 1) the System has absolute power over this world, and 2) it absolutely won’t allow Luo Binghe to come to harm except when it’s plot-mandated.
  
  Thus Shen Qingqiu taunts the killer into attacking Luo Binghe, triggering the System safeguards and causing a practically brand-new ceiling beam to fall on their head. Case closed!


• THIRD EVENT: - Post-Endless Abyss – Shen Qingqiu’s absolute nadir in the story. Although he suffered many hardships after this, at no other time does he come so close to giving into despair as after he pushed Luo Binghe into the Endless Abyss. He wandered his peak like a ghost, not eating, sleeping, or talking to anybody, and spent hours gazing at the memorial he erected to Luo Binghe. The only thing that snapped him out of it was the knowledge that Luo Binghe would return, and he’d definitely want to rip Shen Qingqiu’s limbs off for betraying him if Shen Qingqiu didn’t come up with some way to get out of it. His plans, although clever, ultimately made the situation even worse for him and Binghe both…

Further notes: Shen Qingqiu comes with a content warning for internalized homophobia. Although he does not feel romantic or sexual attraction for women, he is convinced that he does, and that he is simply unable to find a romantic partner due to his own physical unattractiveness or outside factors. He is not aware of his own tendency to blatantly flirt with attractive men, and will mistake reciprocal flirtation for platonic affection at best. He will respond to explicit come-ons with shock and refusal; getting him over this hurdle is one of the themes I intend to explore in Rubi.
