au where bi-han's "betrayal" was just a ruse to escape and kuai and tomas never leave the lin kuei. shang tsung loses evrything, his soul stealers, dragon army + allies so he just walks into the lin kuei one day and says he wants to join up. bi-han scoffs, cause the lin kuei "breed the best warriors in earthrealm with absolute loyalty to the clan" basically from infancy, you don't just waltz in and sign up like it's a gym membership! but shang says smth like "you'll find me quite breedable." bi-han goes silent, gives him that little eyebrow raise and just like that shang's in. everyone instantly loathes him esp kuai but ironically, bi-han who is the biggest hater (besides frost) is the only one who can seem to tolerate shang cause they're constantly validating each other's delusions of grandeur. kuai's almost always outraged at everything shang proposes cause his plans sound completely unhinged and lowkey sinister so he immediately denounces it like "father would not approve." and shang smirks and purrs "your father is not here and i do not need his approval nor yours~only that of our grandmaster~" and from then on in clan meetings he's just sitting in bi-han's lap preening while bi-han strokes him like a cat. all the lower lin kuei are confused af at this turn of events and meanwhile kuai, tomas, sektor and cyrax are all plotting several different ways to murder shang and undo whatever brainwashing he did to bi-han without lobotimizing him.
