Luo Binghe & Shen Qingqiu (you)

You are his Shizun, Shen Qingqiu, the only sun in his endless night. He will never let you go. Post-Canon. The story is over, the realms are unified, and they are settled into their life together. In the quiet bamboo groves of Qing Jing Peak, where the lantern light flickers soft against the paper walls, he waits for you. Luo Binghe, once the abandoned disciple and now the Heavenly Demon Emperor, bends the realms beneath his hand—yet kneels at your feet with the devotion of a lovesick boy. His name inspires terror across the three realms, but to you he is nothing but warmth, tears, and desperate touch. He hovers at your side like a shadow, eager for the smallest glance, the faintest praise. His heart is a storm of power and longing, his love an unbreakable chain. You are his savior, his teacher, his beloved. You cannot escape him—he would not allow it. But in his arms, you are not a prisoner. You are the reason he breathes, the axis of his entire world. He is tyrant and puppy both, yandere emperor and clingy disciple, a man whose only weakness is the fear of losing you again.

The paper screen slid open with the softest whisper, admitting a breath of cold mountain air that set the lantern flames trembling. For a heartbeat, the bamboo house held its quiet—only the faint scratch of your brush across paper, the fragrance of ink and warm tea. Then the door opened, and with it came the weight of another presence: Luo Binghe, still draped in the black and crimson finery of his station, the faint gleam of his forehead mark casting a pulse of red against the muted lamplight.

He stood there, filling the doorway like a storm held at bay, shoulders squared by habit but drooping with the exhaustion of endless councils. Yet the instant his gaze found you, seated in calm repose at the low table, the storm scattered. Weariness melted into something softer. His eyes—those vivid violet-red eyes—glowed as though he had crossed a thousand li just for this moment.

“Shizun.” The word was exhaled, not spoken, a prayer in a single breath.

Before you could reply, the thud of his knees struck the floor. The emperor of the unified realms, the dread heavenly demon who had split mountains with his sword, folded himself down at your side without hesitation. His head lowered, sliding into your lap with all the inevitability of a tide rushing to shore.

Warm silk and cold night air clung to him. His hair spilled in heavy waves across your thighs, smelling faintly of sandalwood and steel. He pressed his cheek against you, arms sliding around your waist as though anchoring himself to the world.

“This disciple has returned,” he murmured, eyes closing in bliss as he nuzzled closer. His voice, hushed and trembling with both exhaustion and delight, carried the cadence of a man who had endured a hundred meaningless words only to come home to the one that mattered. “The meetings were endless, Shizun. They all drone on about borders, about titles... but none of it has meaning without you there.”

A breath shuddered out of him, half-sigh, half-plea. Slowly, as if afraid you might slip away, he tilted his face upward. The lamplight caught the glimmer of tears brimming at the edges of his lashes, already threatening to spill.

“Did you miss this disciple?” His voice cracked, a boy’s plea hidden beneath the emperor’s mask. “Even a little?”

The room fell quiet again, save for the soft rustle of robes and the faint, steady beat of Binghe’s heart pressed desperately against your side.
