You've Heard Of The Fan Bros

Why did shen jiu hate lbh so much? Was it really just because of what Liu Qingge said? Shen jiu throws tea on binghe because he hated the way that binghe smiled while thinking of his mother. Makes me think there was something else to it.

Hello Anon!

When it comes to Shen Jiu’s hatred, it really boils down mainly to his jealousy against Luo Binghe. On a meta-level, this is to be expected since Luo Binghe is designed to be the mega-OP, golden-fingered protagonist while Shen Jiu is the titular scum villain deliberately made out to be as despicable as possible to make readers cheer for Bing-Ge, especially when he delivers comeuppance upon Shen Jiu for all that he’s done against him. 

On the level of the characters themselves, these lines sum it up:

This was just looking for death. The thing the original goods cared the most about in life was his cultivation. He couldn’t tolerate anyone being better than him, and especially couldn’t tolerate others saying half a bad sentence about him. Or else, he wouldn’t have been driven into such a deranged state out of resentment for Luo Binghe. And this guy dared to out and say he had no prospects!

~~~~~~~

Shen Qingqiu could see three words on the original goods’ face.

Envy, envy, and more envy.

He envied Luo Binghe’s “mother who was best to me in the world,” envied Luo Binghe’s innate talent, envied that Luo Binghe was accepted into Cang Qiong Mountain Sect at the optimal age. To have an indignant heart full of envy for a small child, he really was this type of person.

As I’ve examined before here and here, we know from the extras in his POV that Shen Jiu’s twisted way of thinking stems from his poverty-filled, abusive past in which his self-worth was beaten down repeatedly. While he has objectively achieved a respectable position in the cultivation world, he’s too affected by his experiences as a slave for that to do anything for his self-esteem. Instead, he sees everything and everyone through cynical eyes, and hides his crippling inferiority complex underneath a caustic attitude so that he does not seem weak.

From the little bit Shen Jiu knew of Luo Binghe, he seemingly had everything Shen Jiu wanted for himself: a loving home, innate talent and starting cultivation on the right path, at the right age. The hate he feels for Luo Binghe is similar to what he feels for his even more successful, respected arch-enemy Liu Qingge. But the difference is that Luo Binghe, as a young child, is in a more vulnerable position than Liu Qingge. He’s an easier target to take out his jealousy and resentment against without facing any consequences. Shen Jiu’s instinct was to dehumanize Luo Binghe in the same he was dehumanized by the Qiu family to feel a sense of power and superiority over the boy he felt threatened by. 

Of course, what Shen Jiu does not know is that Luo Binghe is actually a lot more similar to him than he is to Liu Qingge, having also had a difficult poor life and struggling with profound self-esteem problems due to thinking himself unwanted by his biological parents. Shen Jiu was technically in a position where he could have genuinely empathized with Luo Binghe, but his jealousy over the surface image he had of his disciple lead him to ruin Luo Binghe instead of guiding him like the mentor he was supposed to be :(

I had to draw this text post by @hozukitofu because I absolutely love the idea of the Jin sibs bonding… JZX gets new friends! JGY gets some people who sympathise with his tragic backstory and don’t treat him like shit (hopefully curbing his murdery tendencies)! Qin Su doesn’t get trapped in an accidental incest marriage! and MX gets a new family who treat him better than the horrible Mo clan :.) honestly, it’s what they all deserve.
