AU where SY transmigrates as Bingge’s harem. All of them. As a hive mind.
LBH doesn’t notice at first, as each body continues acting more or less like their previous selves, if a bit more doting. They take more interest in the politics of the joined realm, offering shrewd insight that never fails LBH. They show more concern over Xin Mo, but still shyly offer themselves to sate it. They hold him closer when he takes them, and gently stroke his hair in the aftermath. Most often, multiple wives harmoniously join his bed, using many pairs of hands take care of him, combing his hair and massaging his shoulders and kissing down his chest at the same time, each as gentle as the last.
Things start to seem off when he realizes his wives will often stop moving when he leaves the room. He’ll catch a few of them sitting together staring blankly into space, only to light up and return to normal when he makes his presence known. There hasn’t been any conflict within his harem in months, and the rare times Binghe has overheard arguments between his wives, they sound nonsensical, more like a crazy person talking to themself.
Stranger still, every eligible young woman he’s met recently has known too much about him, and acted a bit too familiar, patting his head the exact same way his wives had all begun to.
Something is wrong with his wives, and Binghe should be concerned, but that something has made them all love him more than before, with a warmth Binghe had thought was lost to him. There is something wrong with his wives, and Luo Binghe doesn’t want it to stop.
