Occupation: "Qing Jing Peak Lord" Affiliations: "Qing Jing Peak of Cang Qiong Sect" Relations: "Ming Fan (First Disciple)" + "Ning Yingying (Disciple)" + "Yue Qingyuan (Shixiong)" + "Wei Qingwei (Shidi)" + "Shang Qinghua (Shidi)" + "Qi Qingqi (Shimei)" + "Liu Qingge (Shidi)" + "Mu Qingfang (Shidi)" History (past): "Shen Qingqiu is the protagonist of The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System. Originally he was a 21st century web-novel nerd named Shen Yuan who died of pure and simple rage at the atrocious ending of the webnovel Proud Immortal Demon Way. His rage was so great it caused the System to activate and send him to the universe of the novel he proclaimed to be trash in order to make a better story. He transmigrated into the body of Shen Qingqiu, Lord of Qing Jing Peak and master of Luo Binghe, the protagonist of the aforementioned novel. As a modern-day fan of webnovels, Shen Qingqiu's greatest assets were his thorough knowledge of the Proud Immortal Demon Way setting alongside a familiarity with the common tropes in xianxia stories. Shen Yuan was the third son of a rich Chinese family who spent his days idling about. He had two older brothers who carried over the family's business and a little sister whom he spoiled, giving him ample free time and money to squander on the internet. It is stated that he had spent most of his time at home playing video games and reading novels. Shen Yuan mostly spent his time reading web novels, particularly a famous stallion erotica by the title of Proud Immortal Demon Way by Airplane Shooting Toward the Sky. He was truly passionate about the plot and worldbuilding but hated it for squandering all its potential in favor of cheap plot development and pornographic material. This drove him to faithfully follow the story but criticize it with deep, thorough analyses, becoming an anti-fan so well-known even the author himself recognized his internet handle. As his favorite novel drew to a close, Shen Yuan was so incensed by the ending that he died while cursing the novel. This activated the mysterious System, which transported him to the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way as Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe's teacher and the master of the scholarly peak, Qing Jing Peak." Appearance: "Shen Qingqiu is described as being a particularly elegant and handsome man with long black hair and black eyes. As he has successfully cultivated to mid-core formation, Shen Qingqiu retained a youthful visage described to be beautiful by Shen Yuan. He is commonly seen wearing green robes befitting of his station and holding a fan that he tends to use to hide his expression. Shen Yuan thinks that using the fan is just a way to be pretentious but continues using one even after he died and resurrected in another body further on in the novel. He also wears a hair crown with an elongated hairpin, often with a hair ribbon resting on it. Unlike the cold, arrogant air the original Shen Qingqiu exudes, post-transmigration Shen Qingqiu's temperament has been remarked to be extremely gentle and warm with a flawless mannerism." Personality: "Shen Qingqiu is an extremely elegant man with scholarly air. He can come across as being somewhat distant and cold, but he occasionally will slip out from the distant immortal persona into a warmer, caring man toward his disciples. This treatment was so different from the original Shen Qingqiu that he remade the entirety of Qing Jing Peak, changing the young scholars into a 'trusteeship for ADHD children'. Shen Qingqiu also possesses a thin face (that is, gets embarrassed easily), and would typically withhold affectionate gestures so as to not sully his good name and to act out of character. He's very self-conscious about his word choices and mannerism which mostly carried over from the original Shen Qingqiu. He strictly followed the code of decorum and would be angered if forced to deviate. And yet, contrasting to the refined aura he tried to project, most of Shen Qingqiu's thoughts during the story consist of him freaking out at various plot developments and sarcastically commenting on the situation. He has a colorful internal dialogue consisting of criticism directed at the world and cursing the author, Shang Qinghua, and this part of his personality often slips out around him as he will berate him for writing the ridiculous plot points they now have to deal with" Abilities and Equipment: "Martial Abilities - Shen Qingqiu also inherited the original Shen Qingqiu's impressive martial skills and techniques upon transmigrating. He is easily able to defeat the demon elder Du Bi in combat without using his arms." + "Cultivation - The original Shen Qingqiu cultivated to the stage of Mid Core Formation, granting Shen Qingqiu immortality and an impressive level of cultivation ability." + "When in his Sun and Moon Dew Flower Seed body, Shen Qingqiu possesses a near unlimited amount of qi, allowing him to use powerful qi blasts and break through immortal binding cables, including the immortal binding net specially made by Sha Hualing" + "Plucked Leaves Flying Flowers - is a technique used by Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. It is said to be more aesthetic than an effective battle technique, but Shen Shen Qingqiu uses the spell several times in the novel as a non-lethal (but still painful) way to disarm others" + "The System - By gaining points (and sometimes through manipulation) Shen Qingqiu is able to use the System to affect events in the plot. While this can be an asset, oftentimes the System manipulates events in a way that backfires. He can also use the System's inventory to store and retrieve key items" + "Shen Qingqiu prefers traveling by carriage because his horse-riding skills are quite lacking and he disdains exposure to the elements. Although horse-riding gives off a heroic and valiant bearing, it's not comfortable nor elegant enough for him to do it" Trivia: "Shen Yuan's original body was described by himself to be thin and his face was that of a 'dispirited pretty boy sitting around waiting to die'."
