Shang Qinghua’s ears were buzzing. He was at a complete loss for words. A new, horrifying realization was washing over him. It was so dreadful, he didn’t even want to think it, but really, what other explanation was there? Had Mobei-Jun, perhaps, locked him in here based on a mistaken understanding of how the lock worked?! / Twenty years after he ran away from his pre-ordained fate as Mobei-Jun’s servant, Shang Qinghua gets kidnapped in a forest. ➜ svsss moshang canon divergence au ➜ in which Shang Qinghua didn't become Mobei-Jun's follower when they met...and 20 years later, sqh is captured by mbj ➜ this fic is SO much fun omg!!! the dynamics between this version of mbj and sqh...chef's kiss ➜ delicious enemies-to-lovers with begrudging teamwork and uncomfortable vulnerability! ➜ and soooo many wonderful details ➜ there was much grinning and kicking my feet with glee as I read! ➜ this fic was written as a remix of a fic of mine and I was so impressed with the ways the author transformed and built on themes from my original fic to say interesting and insightful things in this new context! ➜ I LOVED IT ➜ 26k words long

Summary: <blockquote>As the head disciple of An Ding Peak, Shang Qinghua threw the plot out the window and abandoned his sect, and now he enjoys a luxurious life as Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan's most treasured and trusted advisor, as the happy couple rules over the Demon Realm together with iron fists. He has everything a transmigrator could want. Unfortunately, there's only so long that the Imperial Advisor can continue to avoid another of Tianlang-Jun's favorite underlings: Mobei-Jun, the new Northern King. An attempt on Shang Qinghua's life inside the Underground Palace itself forces him back into the company of the demon who was once destined to kill his character - and who also once promised to kill him if they ever met again.</blockquote> ➤ like much of this author's writing, its pacing is a little off (too slow and meandering) but it's a fun au

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua accidentally brings Luo Binghe in as a disciple of An Ding Peak instead of Qing Jing Peak. Thankfully, there don't seem to be any requirements that he step up and become the new villainous mentor figure, so he decides to ignore the problem until further notice. Luo Binghe looking up to him is a dangerous sign. But as long as he keeps young Luo Binghe and Mobei-Jun away from each other, everything should be fine, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mobei-Jun does not set out to have Linguang-jun murdered. However, he does mention his woes one too many times to his human servant: shang Qinghua, a disciple of An Ding Peak, and an herbalist. / In which the path to true love is paved with bodies. </blockquote> ➤ completed threadfic: where sqh poisons mbj's enemies and is steeling himself to do something to his protagonist lbh

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua accidentally summons Luo Binghe from the Abyss early, throwing off the plot entirely and coming face to face with his protagonist who has not been made stronger by trauma. After saving him from touching a fuck-or-die flower at the ripe age of 17, Shang Qinghua realizes if he's going to get the plot back on track (and avoid the System killing him) he'll need to actually teach Luo Binghe about the demon realm, the messed up sex flowers, and maybe even help him get over his trauma. He might also have to teach some demons accounting in order to make it up to Mobei-jun, and confront how treating women as trophies has messed up consequences, how trauma does not make people stronger as PIDW promised and how his own alienation from his world might actually be fucking up his life. But hey, that'll be fine! If he fails, he'll just die! / Shang Qinghua makes a mistake and has to come face to face with the consequence of all his stupid sellout writing decisions and how they affect the real world people/characters in SVSSS</blockquote> ➤ lots of typos but they don't interfere with understanding what's meant

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua goes to take a self-indulgent peek at his baby protagonist son and gets a kick to the shrivelled heart for his troubles. He gave up on changing the story years ago! Yet he finds himself helping his protagonist son's adoptive mother anyway. Just this one change won't matter too much, right? One little change leads to more. Shang Qinghua never meant to care, but he becomes invested in making sure that his new family survives the looming plot. With the changes to the world cascading around him, with his position as a traitor pulling him between his sect and a certain ice demon, and with the protagonist growing up so quickly, how is one displaced author meant to ensure that everything turns out alright? A Pre-Canon to Canon Divergence story.</blockquote> ➤ has that pacing problem that some long-long-longfics have where they feel the need to just include EVERYTHING onscreen, but still a very fun fic that I got very invested in

<blockquote>Generally, Shen Qingqiu only visits him at work when he’s really got something to yell about—protagonist dick size or sex pollen caves or weird poisons that Shang Qinghua forgot to invent cures to, or something. Today, he says, “Look, there’s news and I thought you should hear it from me.” Shang Qinghua doesn’t look up from his papers at first. “Okay, sure,” he says, absently—how much money are they spending on incense again? Absolutely fucking absurd—and glances up when Shen Qingqiu remains silent. “What is it?” Shen Qingqiu folds the fan and taps it nervously against his palm. “Mobei-jun’s getting married,” he says.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Mobei-Jun is summoned into the modern world by a series of accidental keyboard macros on a breaking laptop, Shang Qinghua recognizes him, and ice-portals don't immediately work. After well-intentioned if somewhat unsuccessful attempts to navigate the modern world, some revision of Proud Immortal Demon Way, a failed ritual, and a successful ritual, the two of them manage to find their own ways home.</blockquote>
