Liushen is a slash pairing in the Scum Villain's Self-Saving System fandom between the characters Liu Qingge and Shen Yuan (also known as Shen Qingqiu post-transmigration).
Canon
In the original novel into which Shen Yuan transmigrated, Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu are both peak lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, leaders of the Bai Zhan and Qing Jing peaks respectively. Liu Qingge and the original Shen Qingqiu did not get along, and the latter was believed to have caused the former's death. The transmigrator Shen Yuan is able to avert Liu Qingge's death, and Liu Qingge's feelings about Shen Qingqiu undergo a significant change as a result. Liu Qingge is often portrayed as a stubborn man who always wants to fight and find the next mission to go on. He is very loyal to both the sect and Shen Qingqiu, as demonstrated by his constant fighting during five years to regain Shen Qingqiu's corpse.
Fandom
As of September 2024, there are 2039 works in the pairing tag on AO3.
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Unrequited/Pining/Mutual Pining + Obliviousness: Often, Shen Yuan is oblivious to Liu Qingge having romantic feelings for him, and also oblivious to his own romantic feelings for Liu Qingge.
- Everything can be solved through fighting: Liu Qingge is often portrayed as a man who values strength above all, and believes every conflict can be solved through fighting.

When he finally finds the perfect excuse, it doesn't matter much to him that it would mean disrupting the careful courtship he's had going for years, so long as he can help Shen Qingqiu. Shen Qingqiu... doesn't quite understand.
