We Are Not Wise [Podfic]

Summary:

When Shen Qingqiu drew Shen Yuan’s soul sword, it felt like being burned from the inside out. The fire wasn’t cruel, but it was still fire—hot and destructive, searing the softest pieces of him.

When Binghe’s fingers touch the hilt, Shen Yuan is ready for pain.
-----

Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.

That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?

A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords. Written by Boomchick for the Bingqiu Reverse Minibang 2023, illustrated and conceptualized by Suzoomie. Podfic by Maiden_ko.

Chapter 1: Prologue: The Suffering Sword

Chapter Text

I LOVED We Are Not Wise and knew I had to podfic it. I think it's my favorite rendition of OG Shen Qingqiu. He goes through so much character growth! And Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe are delights. Wonderful storytelling. I hope you enjoy my take on it!

The original is just over 50,000 words and 15 chapters long—the length of a shortish novel. I think the whole podfic will be about 7-8 hours long. I'll be posting chapter-by-chapter until I'm finished.

Chapter 1 mp3 here.
