(a thread) HEAR ME OUT,, so I just finished watching goodbye my princess and honestly the ending was tragic but then I thought to myself... xiao feng's relationship with li chengyin and gu jian reminds me of bingliushen.
xiao feng and li chengyin are fated together for three lifetimes but happiness and peace was not an option bestowed upon their relationship. Actions such as revenge, manipulation, and deceit brought them apart like literally every damn time
then there's gu jian, the last descendant of the Gu lineage. He was technically xiao feng's shifu until betrayal shattered away their relationship. Gu jian has strong feelings for xiao feng but he hides it because he was tasked to avenge the Gu family's genocide
the point is imagine a bingliushen au where luo binghe is the 5th prince of the demon realm and son of emperor tianlang-jun and consort su xiyan. *lets follow li chengyin's past where the empress poisoned his mother and when she died, the empress raised him as his own son ++
and manipulated him as he grows up* (i don't remember the name of the washerwoman that picked luo binghe on the river so im going to refer her as the empress in this thread). Shen qingqiu is the 9th prince but from the western cang qiong kingdom. The kingdom has domains ++
