## Luo Binghe

Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu originally had a master and disciple relationship and, following the events of the main story, became lovers.

Before his transmigration, Shen Yuan was extremely fond of Luo Binghe as a protagonist, noting that he enjoyed reading about ruthless, decisive characters.

This attitude carries over post-transmigration, with Shen Qingqiu feeling a great deal of admiration and sympathy for Luo Binghe's hard work and poor treatment even as a child. However, this mixes with fear as he knows that the character he has transmigrated into (Shen Qingqiu) faced brutal revenge from Luo Binghe in the original story. So, to avoid this, Shen Qingqiu concocts a plan to "hug the protagonist's thighs" (suck up to), in order to avoid the original Shen Qingqiu's fate of being turned into a human stick (amputated and imprisoned in a pickle jar in the donghua).

His actions led to him taking the important events that would develop relationships with Luo Binghe and his future harem members onto himself, and instead developed his relationship with Luo Binghe instead of Luo Binghe and those who would be in his harem. At the same time Shen Qingqiu encouraged Luo Binghe to develop relationships with the future members of his harem and was oblivious to Luo Binghe's romantic feelings towards him and jealousy to those that happened to hold his attention. Shen Qingqiu remained oblivious to Luo Binghe's feelings for him until near the end of the novel, interpreting Luo Binghe's feelings towards him in a variety of ways, such as hatred, fatherly and then romantic.

After pushing Luo Binghe into the Abyss, Shen Qingqiu regretted his decision and grieved his loss, often wondering if there was a way to avoid the event even knowing that avoiding it would have led to his death. When Luo Binghe returns from the Abyss, Shen Qingqiu is terrified that he will be killed for his actions despite the much better relationship that he and Luo Binghe had before the abyss event. This led to multiple misunderstandings between them. When Xin Mo begins to corrupt Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu chooses to sacrifice himself via destructing his golden core to save him.

His view towards Luo Binghe was greatly influenced from the original storyline, not realizing until much later on that the Luo Binghe in this world was much different than the protagonist in Proud Immortal Demon Way. His belief that he knows the character and how Luo Binghe will respond based on the original only drives the former towards insanity. Shen Qingqiu became regretful over this, stating that if he hadn't guessed or assumed from the start, Luo Binghe perhaps would have never blackened from beginning to end.

Shen Qingqiu, at the end of the novel, finds out that he had unlocked and was living through the "female-oriented" storyline, of which was more focused on romancing the protagonist to his dismay.

In the extras, Luo Binghe proposed to Shen Qingqiu in which he willingly agreed. Afterwards, they proceeded to marry discreetly in the Bamboo House.

## Shen Qingqiu (Original)

Shen Yuan despises the original Shen Qingqiu, believing him to be, among other things, a "shady hypocrite" and a scumbag. He is particularly disgusted with the original Shen Qingqiu's treatment towards his disciples, assuming that he held immoral intentions towards Ning Yingying and continuously lambasting him for his abuse of Luo Binghe. Shen Yuan is so appalled by the original Shen Qingqiu's behavior that he joined a horde of readers in the comments of Proud Immortal Demon Way that believed Shen Qingqiu should be castrated.

Later, when he learns more about Shen Jiu's backstory, he feels a bit more sympathetic towards him. However, he cannot fully forgive the original goods, and maintains that he is happy to have transmigrated and been around to love Luo Binghe.

## Liu Qingge

Liu Qingge's opinion of Shen Qingqiu changes dramatically after the latter saves his life from a qi deviation in Lingxi Cave. Though skeptical of Shen Qingqiu's sudden change in behavior, Liu Qingge resolves to pay back the kindness done to him. He saves Shen Qingqiu after the invading demons poison him and thereafter regularly cleanses his meridians to care for him. They become close enough that Liu Qingge thinks a fortune about Shen Qingqiu's junior who had once had an bad relationship that changed, who always seeks him out, and is deeply in love with him is about him. After Shen Qingqiu's death, Liu Qingge takes in his first and only personal disciple, Yang Yixuan at Shen Qingqiu's previous suggestion. Liu Qingge also relentlessly fights to retrieve his corpse despite losing every battle.

After Shen Qingqiu's resurrection, Liu Qingge continues to protect him, asking the former to stay with Cang Qiong Mountain and fighting against the other cultivation sects who want to apprehend him. He does not seem to approve of Shen Qingqiu's relationship with Luo Binghe, insisting that they not share a room together. He later briefly tricks Shen Qingqiu that Luo Binghe had died in the aftermath of the battle against Tianlang Jun. After Shen Qingqiu returns to Qing Jing Peak with an injured Luo Binghe, Liu Qingge attempts to chase the latter off; however, he lets them stay when he realizes the extent of his injuries. He also returns Shen Qingqiu's folding fan, which he had retrieved for him from the battlefield.

## Yue Qingyuan

According to Shen Qingqiu, Yue Qingyuan was one of his favorite characters from the original novel. Shen Qingqiu feels comforted by Yue Qingyuan's kind, brotherly demeanor and mentions that he reminds Shen Qingqiu of his elder brothers. Shen Qingqiu regrets that his actions cause trouble for Yue Qingyuan, and feels that he did not deserve his fate in the original novel.

Yue Qingyuan shows great favoritism towards Shen Qingqiu, covering his many expenses and defending him no matter the circumstance.

During the Maigu Ridge incident, Shen Qingqiu finally discovered the truth about Yue Qingyuan's Xuan Su Sword and confirmed that the other boy from original Shen Qingqiu's memory was Yue Qingyuan (Yue Qi).

When Yue Qingyuan apologized to him, Shen Qingqiu thought that it was far too late since the original Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu) was no longer there.

## Shang Qinghua

They share a somewhat-strained friendship due to being transmigrated into the web novel 'Proud Immortal Demon's Way' that Shang Qinghua penned, despite Shen Yuan having been his most critical reader. Shen Yuan gains some appreciation for Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky as a writer after having uncovered hidden plot holes himself through living as Shen Qingqiu. Shang Qinghua reveals that in his previous life, he had actually been a capable writer, only making Proud Immortal Demon's Way a stallion novel to appease his readers and cutting out a lot of plot.

Throughout the novel, they call each other "Airplane bro" and "Cucumber bro", and help each other on numerous occasions. At times, Shen Qingqiu feels the urge to beat up Shang Qinghua for getting them into this mess, inwardly cheering from the sidelines when Qi Qingqi chases Shang Qinghua around the courtyard with a sword.

There is a whole extra devoted to Shang Qinghua (on a mission from the System), asking Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu about their sex life, of which they aren't very helpful.

## The System

Shen Qingqiu holds animosity towards the system, feeling restrained by its guidelines on his behavior and actions throughout the story. He often argues with the system, finding amusement in figuring out ways to get around its guidelines and avoid punishment. Occasionally, he commends the system for its help, feeling pleased with its easy modes and other tools to assist him during tricky scenarios.

## Mu Qingfang

Though not many scenes depict them interacting together, their relationship seems amicable enough, with Mu Qingfang becoming upset occasionally at being unable to help Shen Qingqiu when he becomes harmed.

## Qi Qinggi

In Proud Immortal Demon Way, Qi Qingqi and Shen Qingqiu don't interact with each other much. However, Qi Qingqi and Shen Yuan are considerably closer, the former often making snarky yet friendly comments which the latter finds amusement in. Qi Qinggi also expresses concern for Shen Qingqiu's health and gives her blessing to Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe later on in the novel.

## Ning Yingying

Ning Yingying was the youngest female disciple of Qing Jing Peak and was thus naturally favored by her teachers. At first, Shen Yuan was mostly exasperated at her tendency to cause troubles that advances the plot but later on he grows an appreciation and affection towards her as she grows up well.

## Ming Fan

As fellow characters to die gruesomely in the protagonist's hand, Shen Qingqiu felt both comradeship and pity to him. Similar to Ning Yingying, the boy grows on Shen Qingqiu and he grows affectionate and kind to him as time goes on.

## Gongyi Xiao

Shen Qingqiu is very fond of Gongyi Xiao as the disciple reminds him of a younger Luo Binghe.

## Liu Mingyan

Liu Mingyan is Shen Qingqiu's favorite wife character in the original Luo Binghe's harem. He notes that he enjoys her place in the book greatly as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky did not give her many explicit sex scenes. He is also curious as to what Liu Mingyan looks like without her veil. He saved her from Sha Hualing who wanted to use her as an offering of spiritual energy to Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu and Liu Mingyan seem to respect each other.

## Yang Yixuan

Shen Qingqiu first met Yang Yixuan on a mission in the Jinlian city. He is surprised when he later finds out that Liu Qingge made Yixuan his head disciple. Qingqiu considers him to be a decent person.[?]

## Zhuzhi-lang

Shen Qingqiu is fond of Zhuzhi-lang and finds him to be an interesting character, though he is frustrated with Zhuzhi-lang's determination to kidnap him. He gives Zhuzhi-lang the nickname "Xizhi-lang" (喜之郎).

## Tianlang-jun

Shen Qingqiu displays disapproval towards him due to him not being there for Luo Binghe and not showing fatherly affection towards him when appropriate.

Tianlang-jun is amused by Shen Qingqiu and his bond with Luo Binghe, encouraging him to enter a relationship with his son and nephew.

## Little Palace Mistress

He finds the Little Palace Mistress arrogant and spoiled. When he was in the Water Prison the Little Palace Mistress came to interrogate him and "teach him a lesson" but was stopped by Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu's dislike for her grew even more after she insulted Ning Yingying and the other Qing Jing Peak disciples. He has never met a person who is as arrogant as she is.

## Old Palace Master

In the beginning he respected the Old Palace Master and considered him to be just. But that thought changed in the opposite direction as the Old Palace Master leered at Luo Binghe due to his resemblance to his mother much to Shen Qingqiu's disgust.

## Qiu Haitang

Shen Qingqiu has a strained relationship with Qiu Haitang, as the original Shen Qingqiu killed her family out of revenge. Qiu Haitang revealed to everyone in Jinlan City of Shen Qinqiu's crime. Shen Qingqiu/Shen Yuan pities her as he realizes that she is nothing more but a woman who can't let go of her past.

## Qin Wanyue

Shen Qingqiu saved Qin Wanyue and Luo Binghe and some other disciples from Huan Hua Palace during the Immortal Alliance Conference. However in Jinlan City, Qin Wanyue caused Shen Qingqiu's reputation to go further down thinking that he abused Luo Binghe.
