It starts small. Luo Binghe hides all his demonic features, which — Shen Qingqiu didn’t even think he was hiding, until he wakes up earlier than usual one day and sees Luo Binghe enter the house all red-eyed and claw-handed. Before any excitement can build up, though, Binghe blinks, startles and the features are gone.
Shen Qingqiu didn’t ask, but he started watching his husband more closely. And he began noticing things:
• Luo Binghe is never rude to other Peak Lords, at least not in front of Shen Qingqiu.
• He never complains, at least not about what’s really bothering him.
• He gets anxious when he doesn’t have time to cook or clean for Shen Qingqiu
• He barely talks about anything related to his Emperor duties, if he attends to them at all
• With his every word and action he tries to be good for Shen Qingqiu
At this point, Shen Qingqiu stops keeping track. He knows what’s going on.
Luo Binghe thinks Shen Qingqiu’s love for him is conditional and he needs to work hard every day not to lose it.
The thought of it sends cold shivers down Shen Qingqiu’s spine. He misses his self-assured, impudent white lotus. He can’t let it stand.
So, he does the following:
“Binghe doesn’t need to cook today.” He says, motioning for Ming Fang to come closer. “We’ll get the food from the kitchens.”
“But Shizun!” Luo Binghe pouts. “That food isn’t good enough. This one can do better.”
“Of course Binghe can.” Shen Qingqiu says, fighting the blush. “My husband is most talented. Today, though, this master wants an extra hour with him, even if it means worse food.”
And:
“Emperor Luo must be missed in the Demon Realm.” Shen Qingqiu notes, ignoring the way Luo Binghe freezes midway through the room. “Maybe we should visit?”
There’s a moment of silence. Then, Luo Binghe says, voice carefully neutral:
“It’s not pleasant in there, shizun. This one wouldn’t want to expose his husband to such a cruel, dangerous environment.”
“Luckily,” Shen Qingqiu notes. “This one married the most dangerous creature in the world. He is sure he’d feel pretty safe.”
“Shizun.” Luo Binghe whines, hunching his shoulders and trying to appear as small, as non-threatening as possible.
“Does my Demonic Emperor of a husband so unsure in his abilities?”
Luo Binghe stands straighter, eyes gaining a glint of determination. Shen Qingqiu hides a smug smile behind his fan.
And also:
“Binghe looks annoyed.” Shen Qingqiu says, as they walk back home after the Peak Lords meeting.
He doesn’t, his pretty face a pleasant mask. But Shen Qingqiu knows his husband, and he knows his martial siblings aren’t his favorite people.
“This one is fine, shizun.”
“Hmm.” Shen Qingqiu says. “Doesn’t Binghe think other Peak Lords were acting a bit… self-important?”
“They do try to take too much of shizun’s precious time.” Luo Binghe answers carefully.
“Thank you, Binghe, yes. This one has no idea why they think this master would prefer their company to his husband’s.”
Luo Binghe gasps softly. Shen Qingqiu smiles. If he continues just like this, he’s sure soon enough he’ll get his Binghe to act as spoiled as he did back in his discipline-hood, if not worse.

i've been curious about this since you mentioned one of the watchers being destroyed when trying to grab xin mo, but
when a watcher is destroyed, is it just the physical form that's destroyed, or is it both the physical form and the bit of conscious used to create the watcher? does the bit of conscious return to the main body, or is just Gone forever?
That’s a great question! Let’s think of a hypothetical:
Let’s say a Watcher is attacked
Watchers are very, very weak, and their resistance isn’t the greatest, so three things usually happen (Though there may be some other variations in more strenuous scenarios)
First: If the Watcher does not take enough damage and manages to survive the attack, they will be taken by specialized healers who’ll see the best way to treat the wound (usually by using the Black River’s blessing).
At first, Shen Yuan didn’t there would be any need to specialize any Watchers for the sole purpose of healing, but after he noticed how much he— I mean, they seem to get into trouble, #55 and #56 were designated for the job. They are one of the Watchers with the greatest teleporting distance, but boy does that make them tired though.
Second: The Watcher dies. It’s a natural part of life and certainly a part of a Watcher’s life, but fear not! If they have succumbed to their wounds inside the Titan’s territory, the Black River will come to retrieve its deceased part and imbue new life onto the Watcher. It’s not a pleasant experience, death is death no matter what caused it, and the Watcher may experience some memory loss from a few hours leading up to the incident, but beyond that he will be mostly fine, and Shen Yuan #34 is always ready with a fresh change of clothes for when the Watcher reemerge from inside Xintiao Lake.
Third: The most unfortunate ending. Dying beyond the Titan’s protection is the closest thing to a True Death Shen Yuan has experienced. In the beginning of the Watchers run, a lot of them went out to the vast Endless Abyss, but it didn’t take long for him to realize the Abyss still stands true to it’s reputation, and a few Watchers were lost out in the infernal place. The Watcher cannot be healed or reunited with the Main Body so they are usually dug a special grave; a Titan’s fragment is still a Titan’s fragment, and they need to be sealed away properly.
Nowadays only Di-er goes out into the Abyss, but he always makes sure to pay a visit to those tiny bits of lost memories that can never be retrieved.
*If a Watcher’s wounds are serious enough to not be salvageable even by the Black River, he will be reabsorbed into the Main Body once again, and his memories collected. A few months later, it is likely a whole new Watcher will be born to take their place.
** A Watcher who’s died beyond the Titan’s protection cannot be helped, and any memories it hasn’t sent to the Main Body will die alongside him. Who knows what they have witnessed moments before death? Not that it is a major concern when it happens, for the Main Body, it’s like suddenly forgetting a whole week, but when you’ve lived for centuries, it doesn’t really matter in the end. Still, their horror and fear was felt, and they shall be grieved properly.
It's actually a common misconception that Luo Binghe would love being an attic wife
Because while yes he would be overjoyed that Shizun wants him so much that he keeps him locked away in an attic, he would quickly realise that it isn't ideal
Because after all, he worked so hard to get so big to protect shizun!! How can he do that if he's locked away?? What if shizun is in danger?? What if other men decide to look at shizun?? What if Liu Qingge decides to look at shizun?? He can't beat up Liu Qingge if he's locked away
Naturally, he would quickly become devastated - especially because shizun wouldn't be in the attic with him at all hours of the day. What does shizun do when he leaves?? Probably hangs out with Liu Qingge, and soon he's gonna be swept away and leave poor Binghe alone in the attic forever!! Which absolutely cannot happen. So clearly, Luo Binghe is not attic wife material
Now Yue Qingyuan on the other hand.....

Shen jiu as a service/house android (Kara), who has no real strong feelings towards the kid he is responsible for (Shen Yuan/ Alice) until he sees how his father treats him and starts to feel something (rage) for the first time
Shen jiu who sees this kid as a spoiled brat who refuses to let go of his morals and do anything perceived as 'wrong' even when his own life is in danger
Shen jiu who cannot abandon him anyway
Shen jiu who learns how to feel and love and hate from the kid who he sees too much of himself in
Anyway this idea was taking over my mind so I drew something for it :3
