Shen Qingqiu (沈清秋 Shěn Qīngqiū), birth name Shen Jiu (沈九 Shěn Jiǔ), is the original owner of the body that Shen Yuan transmigrated into after his death in svsss.

though in this particular au, shen jiu and shen yuan are twins in the modern world.. with shen jiu having memories of his past life.

(Shen Yuan on the left and Shen Jiu on the right, an art from tumblr that's absolutely perfect, long hair and all. So those who read the page on Shen Yuan can use this pic of Shen Yuan for reference cuz in that one.. he is dressed in visible ancient Chinese robes and.. looks more elegant than he actually is).

Shen Qingqiu is a part of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect and is the Peak Lord of the scholarly Qing Jing Peak. Due to the ranking of the twelve peaks, he is the second highest authority in the sect and acts as the Sect's tactician (chief strategist).

In the original in-universe novel Proud Immortal Demon's Way, he is written as the main villain. He is known to have abused the protagonist, Luo Binghe and he later threw him into the Endless Abyss, which in turn sparked Luo Binghe's 'blackening', along with the growth of his hatred and desire to seek revenge. Luo Binghe captured him and put him through a court judgment regarding the accusations of committing the Qiu household's massacre, perverted designs on his female disciple Ning Yingying, abuse of Qing Jing Peak disciples and the murder of Bai Zhan Peak Lord Liu Qingge. In the end, he received the guilty verdict and was tortured to death by Luo Binghe; however, it is unknown if all of these accusations are accurate, as neither Proud Immortal Demon Way nor Scum Villain's Self Saving System clarifies on the topic.

It is, though, heavily implied that shen jiu was not lecherous towards his female disciple, nor did he 'murder' liu qingge.

He is commonly seen wearing green robes befitting of his station and a fan that he uses to hide his expression.

Personality

It is hard to discern anything about Shen Qingqiu due to the unreliability of both Proud Immortal Demon Way and Scum Villain's Self Saving System. It was implied that he had a proud and arrogant personality.

His weak cultivation compared to his martial siblings drove him to be jealous of Luo Binghe and used any excuses he could find to abuse him, even encouraging bullying within his Peak. He may also have been jealous of Luo Binghe having a mother. However, he also shown an incredible capacity for loyalty, especially toward Yue Qingyuan, and a willingness to help without asking for gratitude. As a proud, effective member of the organization, he resents those he thought to be ineffective in their work and held everyone to an impossible standard.

Shen Qingqiu is not above using tricks to win a fight, which earned him the ire of the upright Liu Qingge. But it is assumed to be survival tactics because of Shen Jiu's tragic past that I won't talk about..cuz spoilers. And anyways, in a fight to the death no one is above using tricks to live, so Liu Qingge may kindly go away, we love Shen Jiu here.

Shen Qingqiu grew a distaste for the male gender, even frequenting brothels if it meant that he would be safe from men. This behavior eventually led to his rumor of being a lecherous man. Shen Qingqiu does not visit brothels for the sake of performing activities, but rather to seek assurance from them.

Back story

He used to be a slave and the character Jiu in his name actually means 'Nine' as a slave number. Though reborn in the modern world as Shen Yuan's twin, the Jiu in his name now has been changed to the character of 'black colored jade'.

Shen Jiu was wild as a slave, picking fights and using his superior fighting power to claim territories for begging.

He was bought by the Qiu's (and later he killed all the men for valid reasons) and later became an apprentice of a demonic cultivator.

Shen Jiu entered Cang Qiong Sect at the age of 16 under Yue Qingyuan's recommendation.

In Qing Jing Peak, Shen Jiu quickly became a favored disciple of the Peak Lord and received both the status of head disciple alongside the name 'Shen Qingqiu'. For him this was a great misfortune as the character 'Qiu' was written with the same character with the Qiu family's name.

Synopsis

The original Proud Immortal Demon Way, was supposedly planned to be much more complex. However, due to money problems, Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky, scrapped the original plotline and wrote a novel with the fan's preferences in mind ("shameless fanservice" as quoted by Shen Yuan in chapter 92). Due to the unreliability of both Shen Yuan and (the Original) Luo Binghe, along with the ambiguity of Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky, it is unknown how much of Shen Qingqiu's actions were performed simply to paint him into the perfect 'scum villain'.

Luo Binghe, who was Shen Qingqiu's former disciple that he abused, returned with vengeance to kill Shen Qingqiu, accompanied by Qiu Haitang (Young mistress of the Qiu household) and Liu Mingyan (Liu Qingge's sister), who each bore a grudge against him.

Luo Binghe captured Shen Qingqiu and cut off his arms and legs, using them to set a trap that killed Yue Qingyuan. Shen Qingqiu was tortured further, including having his tongue torn out, and eventually died of his wounds.

Okay so that's all i can say without majorly spoiling everyone, which i probably have done anyways. Many of you may think Sqq is bad but he really isn't that bad please!!! read svsss, and if you don't have enough time to read the whole novel, then at least read shen jiu's character page in fanwiki that will give you more info about this complex character, if you're ready to be spoiled. trust me, sqq was really wronged by the world!! he deserves his second chance in the modern world.

speaking of...

in this au, after dying in PIDW sqq reincarnates into the modern world as Shen Yuan's older twin brother, with memories of his time as sqq.
