I need a bingqiu fic where everyone reverse transmigrates into the modern world but only Binghe and Mobei Jun remember their old world cause now THEY have the system and their task is simple: find their husbands and make them fall in love with them again.
Seems easy right? They’ve done it once already.
WRONG.
Because, when Binghe finds Shen Qingqiu, he’s heartbroken to find that his Shizun’s personality is almost the same as before his qi deviation in their previous life, and has absolutely no interest in him.
He also finds out that for some reason in this life Shen Qingqiu has a younger brother, Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan is sweet and kind and pretty and gentle and funny and pretty. He’s also closer in age to Binghe. Slowly Binghe starts to feel a devastating guilt every time he looks at him. He doesn’t know where this man was in their previous life, but in this one. In this one Binghe is pretty sure he’s falling in love with him.
He feels guilty because it feels like betraying his Shizun, his husband. He feels like the only reason he’s in love with Shen Yuan is because he reminds him of his husband, but that’s not fair to Shen Yuan either. It’s like he’s just replacing one brother for the other.
But no matter how much he tries he can’t get Shen Yuan out of his mind.
Then his Shizun, Shen Qingqiu, starts dating Yue Qingyuan and Binghe’s confused more than anything. He doesn’t understand why he doesn’t feel heartbroken. But when the System doesn’t take away any points for this, he finally asks it “Hey, System.” “Yes?” “Do you know why Shizun is acting as such?” “What do you mean? We’ve detected no abnormal behaviour from Shen Yuan.” “No, not Shen Yuan, Shen Jiu— WAIT, WAIT, SHEN YUAN?????”
Then he finds out, this whole time, he’s been going after the WRONG. GUY.
Shen Yuan, on the other hand is heartbroken.
Despite acting like he’s straight his whole life (and very much believing it himself), there was just something that stabbed him in the chest every time he looked at Luo Binghe playfully flirting with his ge (while getting rejected every. Fucking. Time. Shen Yuan really doesn’t know if his ge doesn’t know the hottest guy on the planet is flirting with him, or if he’s being an idiot and rejecting him).
He’s gotten to know the guy quite well, and they have become quick friends. They talk, they text and they hang out, all the time. He finds that Binghe is an amazing cook (seriously, HOW can food be so good?). He also loves to read, and they proceed to rant about the books they’ve both read. He’s also a huge cry baby. (Shen Yuan thinks it’s cute)
And sometimes.
Sometimes he’ll just look at Shen Yuan with so much, well, fondness. It’s in those moments that Shen Yuan let’s himself dream that maybe, maybe, this boy could be his.
Sometimes he’ll say something that cannot be categorized as anything but shameless flirting.
Like the first time he made Shen Yuan congee. “This is the best thing I’ve ever had. Holy shit.” “Ah, you like it that much? Alright then. I’ll make it for you all the time, with variations.” Then he proceeded to wink. WINK. (Shen Yuan did not blush. He did not. He’s straight. It’s just the halo-like light that surrounds Luo Binghe is enough to charm sven a straight man. Like him. Cause he’s straight. Definitely.)
When his ge starts dating Yue Qingyuan. He expects Binghe to look heartbroken, but. He doesn’t. He acts like nothing is wrong. Absolutely nothing is out of place.
Except he smiles at Shen Yuan with that fond look way more often. He flirts way more often. He cooks for him way more often.
Shen Yuan doesn’t know how to feel about that.
Has this guy been some kind of playboy this whole fucking time? And when one target is no longer available, he just moves on? To his BROTHER? Yeah, no, scratch that, he knows exactly how he feels.
He’s furious.
(Binghe has no idea why Shen Yuan seems so angry with him. He just wants to kiss his husband. Why must this always happen when they reunite?)
Mobei Jun on the other hand is having a, uhh, sorta better time. He’s found Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua is the Shang Qinghua he knows, flighty, cowardly and cute. But, the thing is. Qinghua’s absolutely terrified of him.
Every time he pops up next to him, he squeals and jolts so bad that one time he slammed into a door.
But he still blushes at their proximity. Still has the same taste in trashy novels. Still writes. Still loves having his hair ruffled.
They get together within 2 months. The system congratulates him 3 times.
That realization when you are about to end your fanfic. That it became dry, too boring and you hate it.
The idea was there but with no emotion and to why they are even in a fricking conflict in the first place. Yet didnt want to delete it for reference.
Once writersblock came along with a worst headache. It gave me a new scene, an idea, brought back my characters original personalities and the tragedy. To why my character suffer, why that person died, whos fault was it and should they even be together. Yet it was only one scene, there is no continuation till I come up with a new path.
Being a writer with a perfectionist mindset is hard, once you felt the story was bad and not good you give up.
Yet I’m not planning to give up this story for its now stuck in my head for more than a year with countless versions and scenarios.
