Shen Qiao should be top ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We are now just over halfway through reading Thousand Autumns. And while we haven’t gotten to any substantial physical intimacy between Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao just yet, we have thoughts on it. While Yan Wushi is canonically the top and Shen Qiao the bottom, everything we’ve seen so far really indicates that this arrangement isn’t the one we’d imagine.
What is:
Shen Qiao has a commanding personality.
Yan Wushi has a praise kink.
Yan Wushi has a preference to take pleasure in receiving affection from others and is not the giving kind.
What could have been:
Shen Qiao is a service top.
Yan Wushi is a pillow princess.
The Personalities of Yan Wushi
In this volume, we gained unique insight into the complexity of Yan Wushi's character. Although we didn’t learn more about his past, we observed him express three distinct personalities. Each of these personalities reflects a core truth—they are all Yan Wushi—while omitting certain aspects of his personality and amplifying those he had previously suppressed.
