Why isn't Su Yan with Shen Qi?

Su Yan's character and Shen Qi's character are not complementary. According to the order of mountains and rivers, Su Yan and Shen Qi are the main characters in the novel The Order of Mountains and Rivers. The two are not together in the novel, mainly because Su Yan's character and Shen Qi's character are not complementary. Su Yan is a gentle, kind and very polite person. Shen Qi, on the other hand, is a hard-hearted and inarticulate person. Such personality differences lead to no further development of their relationship in the novel. Besides, Su Yan and Shen Qi are both male characters. In ancient society, people of the same sex could not get married, which was one of the important reasons why they could not be together. Finally, the plot development in the novel is one of the reasons why Su Yan and Shen Qi are not together. In the novel, there is not much overlap between Su Yan and Shen Qi, and there is not much plot between them. Therefore, there is no chance and plot to be together.
