These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Shen Yuan's plan to steal Shen Qingqiu's corpse is him waltzing in the Huan Hua Palace, claiming to be the late Qing Jing Peak Lord's twin brother who wishes to properly bury his sibling. Luo Binghe immediately gets suspicious because his Shizun never even alluded to a living family in front of him, and discreetly investigates on Shen Yuan's supposed background before relaxing.
** As Luo Binghe grows more and more attracted to Shen Yuan, he suggests for the man to join the Huan Hua Palace as a teacher -- and is floored when Shen Yuan immediately objects that it's a ''terrible'' idea since the half-demon has barely met him and doesn't even know if he likes children or has the necessary credentials to become an instructor.
** As Luo Binghe just won't stop displaying unhinged behaviour around his Shizun, Shen Yuan grows more and more uneasy and starts pushing back against the idea of having ''any'' kind of relationship with him. When the half-demon ultimately commits murder in front of him, Shen Yuan has enough and declares he cannot trust Binghe anymore and wants for him to go away.
*** After several months of separation, Luo Binghe reappears and seems thoroughly chastened and repentant. If Shen Yuan is open to giving him another chance, Shen Jiu stays mistrustful and tells his brother that genuine change is much complicated to put in practice, so the half-demon might have a relapse in the future.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2097750 A Pairing of Souls]]'' is a ''Scumbag System'' fanfiction series written by Muzu on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.
It doesn’t take five years for Shen Yuan’s backup body to mature, and when it does Shen Yuan emerges back into the world once more quickly realizing that nothing is as he expected or hoped it would be.
But Shen Yuan has a body to steal back and a promise to keep, and that leads him to do what he would like to avoid. At least, he has the (surprisingly helpful and actually not that much of a) scum villain on his side.
