Shang Qinghua
Mobei Jun
Luo Binghe
Shen Qingqiu/Yuan
I have this Shang Qinghua hc where he’s an actual all-out BAMF. Like, he knows how to kick ass and take names. He can fight better than everyone, he’s powerful af, and he’s practically perfect at anything he does. He created the PIDW world, and he bends it to his will. Like, he’s legit a God™️. And he keeps that tidbit to himself, but sometimes he has trouble hiding it.
One time he beat Liu Qingge in a brutal training fight (one that SQH didn’t even want to participate in), but accidentally-on-purpose trips and hurts himself afterwards, making everyone believe it was a one-off thing.
He’s a better cook than Luo Binghe, although no one knows that until the chef for A Ding gets sick and SQH has a bunch of starving kids to deal with.
SQH is also super charming and naturally flirtatious. He’s on the logistics peak, meaning he has to talk to merchants and negotiate prices and deals. He has a fucking silver tongue. Not in a slimy way, but in the same way as Binghe. (LBH got his personality from somewhere.) SQH’s charm was partially what got Mobei Jun to be interested enough not to kill him when they were teens.
SQH can use The System to his advantage and become omnipotent if he wanted to. He doesn’t, because it takes a lot of work, but he could. In fact, he hacked The System when he was still an infant, it does whatever he tells it. Including giving him infinity points. Sometimes it’ll give him a mission, but SQH treats it like an annoying pop-up ad.
SQH is ruthless, manipulative, and can crush anyone like an ant mentally, physically and emotionally. He actually put a lot of himself into LBH while writing the book. And he kind of regrets that because the two really can’t stand each other due to how similar they are. Although LBH doesn’t realize it.
His cultivation is top tier. He’s actually the strongest cultivator in the world—but it wasn’t because he worked his ass off. He just rigged the game.
I can see him acting pathetic and dramatic to deflect because then he’s underestimated af. Also, the fake tears? His son does the same exact thing. But SQH on the inside is highly amused by everything. Especially Binghe. He loves his son, and knows what LBH is capable of, but it only makes him laugh. Internally, of course. Like, this whole world is hilarious to him.
SQH is smart and because these are his creations, he can outsmart any of them. It’s lonely though, being a God among men. So, instead of using his actual abilities, he doesn’t. Why would he interfere with anyone’s lives? Why do anything for people who were cruel towards him at times, not realizing they should fear him. He has an ego, but at the same time what was the point? He’s a selfish and lazy God™️.
When Shen Yuan transmigrates into SQQ he becomes the only person Shang Qinghua doesn’t know how to read. And it’s refreshing, it makes SQH feel human for the first time in decades.
TL:DR - HC that SQH is a literal God™️ but keeps it a secret. He prefers being an underestimated dude.
Ok, so I love this HC?
Like, the first time SQH sees SY glitch he is freaked tf out, but then finds it hilarious. Because 1. He’s a bit of a dick, and 2. SY is one of the sweetest people in their sect. The irony kills SQH.
And let’s say this also happens when SY is SQQ. Which makes it funnier because he’s a sweetie stuck as the scum villain. So one moment you see Shizun, but when he’s high-key panicking you see a nerdy 20-something year old who’s actually really cute, and when he’s super pissed it’s this dark mass with glowing green eyes and sharp teeth. And despite this SY still somehow accidentally winds up with a harem of men fawning over him! SQH wonders if he’s the only one who could see the glitches.
Yes, SY had nothing to do with PIDW, but he was Cucumber-bro, and SQH thinks that this is divine justice and karma for how much of an asshole SY was to him—the God of the world. They bicker about it constantly.
The real kicker? SQH can probably fix him. He just doesn’t.

So I have this HC that Shang Qinghua’s OG body before he died was actually really good looking. He had pastel pink hair and a lip ring, a Cheshire grin and sad eyes. All of his jeans had rips. His shirts were all a little faded. He wore beat up Chucks and an oversized jean jacket he got from a second-hand shop. His fashion sense was giving broke.
I see this young man who worked at a convenience store in the night shift—which was how he kept his ramen and energy drink habit going. Can you say employee discount?
Like, I imagine this guy who you wouldn’t even think was writing a popular stallion novel. And he managed 10k A DAY, but it was mostly because he had a lot of time at work.
Unfortunately, he had poor social skills. He disassociated a lot and tended to live in his head. He was painfully shy and had a hard time connecting with people. He was quiet and kept to himself. But the forums and writing PIDW were his ways of being his true self.
(Yeah, he might be one of my favorite MXTX’s characters)
i see many shizun (sqq) lovers on tumblr and every time its like. how they feel about him is how i feel about sqh. i need that flighty little man so bad.
I love Shang Qinghua!
He’s probably my favorite character in SVSSS. I go rabid for him. But the weird thing? I can literally ship him with anyone and be pleased. Like, love me Mobei Jun x Shang Qinghua. Like yaaas let’s enjoy that canon ship. But will also devour SY x SQH, LQG x SQH, LBH x SQH…and the list goes on. As long as Shang Qinghua is in it (and written well) I eat that shit up.
(open to any and all fic recs btw)
Omg another HC. So I love the whole transmigrators going back home and looking different from what their loves knew them as schtick. But you know what? I can honestly imagine SQH looking the exact same as his character.
Like. His name is actually SQH irl and nothings changed about him except for his hair length and maybe piercings/tattoos/glasses. Like Airplane fking wrote this character as a self-insert and a sort of love note for MBJ. (He always shipped the pair even if he never wrote it.)
Imagine SY is wigging out about being back and goes into the forums to message SQH to figure out wtf they’re going to do. They exchange information and SQH said he’ll come over. SY opens the door and….
SY: are you fking serious?
SQH: …bro
SY: *wearing a flabbergasted expression* wtf you fking hack, why do you look the exact same?! Fking Mary Sue! No wonder you were born into the character. No creativity!
Then their hub’s find them and they go back home.
I am on my knees begging you all to watch this it’s so good🧎♂️➡️
After the Immortal Alliance
Shang Qinghua: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-
Shen Qingqiu: Twelve, actually.
Shang Qinghua: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?
Shen Qingqiu: Yours!
Shang Qinghua: That's right: no one's.
Mobei-Jun: So you reincarnated in this world with all your past memories. Hmm...
Shang Qinghua: What is it my king?
Mobei-Jun: How much older are you than me?
Shang Qinghua: Around 30 years
Mobei-Jun, pouting: I see. Qinghua must have had many past lovers
Shang Qinghua: Nah, I died a virgin
Mobei-Jun: ?????? How did people resist not fucking you?
Shang Qinghua: You know, if you existed in my past life then I wouldn't have needed therapy
Spy, Writer, God
My favorite trope for SVSSS fics is when SQH lacks self-confidence/worth and, let’s be honest, has depression. It feels like it adds so much more depth to this character.
When writers have it so that we know he created this world but has such little regard for himself. Where he’s written to see himself as a disloyal coward—sure, he spied on the sect and yeah, he’d run from a fight—but he forgets that he almost died for Mobei-Jun. That he helped Shen Yuan with his plant body. That he gave LBH that terrible yet effective advice. I like reading that SQH is reliable when to really counts. (And he’s also a total badass but that’s a different post.)
I love fics that pick up on that. Like, seriously, give me that angst.
The few fics I’ve read that really focus on this are:
Wednesdays are for Kareoke
by: Talthecap
Modern AU. Rated M.
Summary: Shang Qinghua raised a hand to reach out to his friend, a question on his lips. Then he stopped short.
That was an I.V. line.
An I.V. line hooked up to his hand. What in the? Shang Qinghua felt the cotton in his head expand even more as he took in the fact that he was lying propped up in what was clearly a hospital bed, in a hospital room, with hospital equipment hooked up to him. How much did he have to drink last night?
OR
Shang Qinghua wakes up after a suicide attempt he doesn't remember.
Husbands (Imaginary)
by: diamondbruise
Modern AU. Rated T.
Summary: Shang Qinghua tries to divorce Mobei Jun. It goes as well as you'd expect.
so you’ve had a bad day
by: tagteamme
Canon. Rated E.
Summary: Shang Qinghua is not stupid.
It does not take a genius to know what it means when you ask a servant where your lord has left to and they readily supply the name of an exclusive brothel in between the two realms. Especially when it's after your utterly disastrous first time together.
So he goes away for a bit to clear his head. And promptly gets kidnapped
As always: I’m open to recs!
modern au where college dropout sqh DMs a D&D game on twitch that's popular bc he's known to be a terribly chaotic DM
he has his homebrew world that is actually very, very detailed, but since he comes up with his best ideas in the moment, he tends to forget or retcon a lot of stuff. it frustrates players and viewers alike.
but he's also incrediblly good at bringing characters to life, integrating backgrounds, playing npcs that viewers fall in love with, and the world he built is so vast - people often ask for him to write an adventure/setting/world instead of DMing, but twitch is his source of income, so he can't do that
then his party has a falling out; some players disrespect the boundaries of others, sqh's suggestion to use consent sheets, taboos and cards to signify if someone is not feeling up to something is smashed down by half the party who think it's "woke bullshit ruining D&D". At the end of that session, all players decide to quit and sqh is sitting there like "Well, there goes my campaign, guess that's it. maybe I'll rewatch all our videos and painstakingly write that book for money"
enter shen yuan, rules lawyer and note-taker extraordinaire and loyal watcher and hater of the campaign. he's upset that now he'll never get to know the ending of the story, so many npcs still had their motives and backgrounds unexplored! the waste!
so he contacts sqh, offering to be a player for him under specific conditions such as sqh has to get better at consistency, no more retconning, and the other players have to be respectful towards each other, safety tools must be used from day one, etc. sqh decides to take it.
so they start looking for more players - locally, this time, bc the last campaign was played online due to distances. this time, they wanna play at a table. sqh doesn't have many irl friends, but he does have Liu Mingyan, who is always stuck being the DM but would really like to actually be a player for once. lmy brings her girlfriend shl along.
When he finds out that his crush has this hobby and is looking for other players, Luo Binghe becomes a D&D expert overnight.
then sqh's former college roommate mbj, who has been heart broken since sqh dropped out and moved off campus before he managed to seduce him, finds out and jumps at the chance to see him again irl at least once a week
their session zero is not livestreamed; they just sit down at the big table sy bought specifically for this. and things go so well? their group vibe is chaotic but good, they agree on the most important things, and the sitting at the table brings a new level of immersion that sqh has been craving for so long.
in the end, they all settle on their characters. they do not pick up where the last campaign left off - rather, they start from a different aspect of it that doesn't require a story reset.
The game goes so well. It's fun, it's immesive, it's exciting. with sy's note-taking skills, the plot goes much more smoothly. sqh gets excited about DMing again - he actually gets into crafting physical things like notes, a quest board, things like that.
sy, who always claimed that romance had no place in D&D, it's meant for just adventure, eventually very shyly begins a little romance in-game with one of sqh's npcs. lbh and mbj despair a little over it. eventually, sqh outs that npc as a traitor who has been sabotaging the party all along, and sy and his character are both heartbroken.
mbj makes a point of trying to romance pretty much every single npc from then on. his half-orc paladin always just rips off flowers somewhere and offers them to the respective npc. viewers constantly despair over him bc mbj just isn't good at roleplaying and they feel like he hasn't understood what a paladin is supposed to be like, his character lacks the emotional complexity, blabla, he should have played a half orc - but then in a q&a mbj says that he wanted to play a character who is completely devoted to the creator god, who has been sleeping for milennia.
sqh does not get the hint.
that q&a session does remind mbj of his character's motives though, he stops trying to romance every single npc and instead seeks contact and guidance from his god.
feeling cheeky, sqh puts an npc at the paladin's side - a scaredy-cat bard who is actually the creator god's human form after the god had his powers sealed milennia ago for creating something that coud kill the others gods. Since then, he has been wandering the earth in a weak human form while the gods claimed he has been sleeping.
the scene in which that is revealed leads to the first and only on-screen kiss where mbj, overcome with his own and his character's feelings (for once), grabs sqh by the face and kisses him. the chat is freaking out. sqh is in a daze while sy and lmy rip into mbj for violating their consent rules until sqh finally goes it's fine, it was just an in-character spur of the moment thing, he doesn't mind!! please don't do it again but it's okay!! let's just continue the story!!!
mbj, once again despairing bc he finally kissed his crush but his crush thought it was just an in character thing
they have another long talk about consent and boundaries in the group. afterwards mbj wants to talk to sqh alone to explain, sqh just goes on this rant that it's fine, mbj was too in character, he understands that it doesn't mean anything about them and that he regrets it and it was a mistake and mbj, fed up with sqh's lack of understanding, just goes "yes, it was in character, but only because i made that character because i want to kiss you"
and then they make out on the gaming table, the end
Shang Qinghua: Here's some advice
Shen Qingqiu : I didn't ask for any
Shang Qinghua: Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me

Shang Qinghua: well, well, well
Luo Binghe: ?
