Qiu Jianluo 「秋剪罗 (Qiū Jiǎnluó)」 was the heir of the Qiu family. He was the older brother of Qiu Haitang, and former master of the slave Shen Jiu. As the eldest son, he lived up to his family's expectations.[?]

## Appearance

In the novel, Qiu Jianluo is described as beautiful and fiery, and having fair-skin. He is said to have slender brows, and eyes full of vitality, so bright as to be piercing. Qiu Jianluo wears violet clothes, much like his sister, with tapered sleeves pulled tight over his arms.[?]

## Personality

He is an arrogant and a double-faced character. He never cared about others, except for his sister, Qiu Haitang. He is deceptive and constantly liked to threaten Shen Jiu.[?]

Qiu Jianluo is described as an arrogant and high-spirited young lord. He finds beggars to be unsightly and had his guards attempt to shoo them away. He is not above whipping a beggar child in the streets, without so much as a warning, and going so far as to give a big smile after doing so. He seems to view beggars and those of lower status as not even human.[?]

He is said to hate bringing in outsiders into the Qiu estate, and buying the slave Shen Jiu was noted as strange. His sister took an immediate liking to Shen Jiu because of his pretty face, which Qiu Jianluo immediately agreed to also liking Shen Jiu, though for an entirely different reason.[?]

He seems to detest disobedience in Shen Jiu, often beating him for doing so, and inclined to verbally abusing the boy, also. Often telling him that he’s worthless, and it is only by the grace of House Qiu that allows him to come anywhere near human.[?]

However, to keep his sister ignorant of the nasty sides of his personality, he often made Shen Jiu play along whenever Qiu Haitang was around. Behind her back Qiu Jianluo enjoyed bouncing Shen Jiu’s skull off the floor, and laughing at him, alluding it to playing in his internal dialogue. Therefore, his personality could be described as two faced, and the transmigrator Shen Yuan thought that this was where the Original Shen Qingqiu learned it from.[?]

## Background

The novel reveals that Qiu Jianluo was the villain of the scum villain's own tragic backstory, and merely exists to make the scummy villain more sympathetic. Furthermore, the novel implies that Qiu Jianluo might have sexually abused Shen Jiu, but the vague nature of *Scum Villain Self-Saving System* leaves it open to audience interpretation. After all, the novel also implies that Shen Jiu’s fear of men existed before his time with the Young Master. As his habit of finding refuge with women occurred even before being bought by the Qiu family; Shen Jiu previously sought refuge with an unnamed female slave seen as an older sister figure sold as a concubine to an unknown old man.[?]

The novel implies that Qiu Jianluo was prone to rushing through the streets, whenever he went into the city on his horse, and whipped those who got in his way, often making locals fearful of him.[?]

After whipping a random beggar on the streets; Qiu Jianluo became intrigued with the one who managed to injure his horse and help the others from potentially being trampled.[?]

He decides to lock Shen Jiu up for three days after buying him, until he was depressed and gloomy, and then he orders his personal guards to scrub him clean. At first, Jianluo plans to simply beat Shen Jiu but after seeing a clean faced and rosy cheeked Shen Jiu, however. Qiu Jianluo felt pity for the first time in his life and pulled back the leg he was planning to kick Shen Jiu with, instead testing to see what Shen Jiu’s handwriting was like.[?]

Furthermore, in an attempt to control his sister, and finding Shen Jiu obedient and adept enough at learning how to read and write; Qiu Jianluo did not mind the thought of such a convenient in-law such as Shen Jiu.[?]

Qiu Jianluo is rendered unrecognizable by a sword-wielding Shen Jiu, and then burned to a crisp when the Qiu Manor was set on fire by Shen Jiu.[?]

## Trivia

* The name Qiu Jianluo (秋剪罗, Qiū Jiǎnluó) means *Autumn Slices Net*.
	+ The narrative role Qiu Jianluo plays is self-evident in the meaning of his name. The purpose of his entire existence is for Shen Qingqiu to cut the net entrapping him.
	+ The surname *Qiu* may refer to the idiom *A Thousand Autumns*, which means eternity. This alludes to how Shen Jiu was able to escape from the abuse at the Qiu Household, but that he's forever entangled with them. This is seen when he is accused by Qiu Haitang and punished many years later. The idiom itself is often used in Chinese poetry to describe long-lasting affection, and sometimes to lasting contributions or a legacy.
	+ The name *Jianluo* may also allude to the Chinese idiom *Cut Sleeve*, which is an euphemism for homosexuality. Only that what's being cut here isn't a gentle sleeve, but an entrapping net, which refers to the fact that Shen Jiu was trapped as a slave against his will, and had to break free from the problematic situation. Yet like a net, although Shen Jiu was able to escape from Qiu Jianluo physically, he may still be trapped mentally, shown by how he perpetuates the cycle of abuse with Luo Binghe.
* He was fond of Shen Jiu upon his arrival to the Qiu's household.[?]
* He was impressed with Shen Jiu abilities to learn something at once.[?]
