(Note: how DID would work in this universe is it would work as your spiritual power since you can take on any form depending on which alter is in control).

Heavenly Capital, Mortal Realm.

Many didn’t understand the concept of your…..different identities. Most of the Gods that the mortals worship are pretty much just you, different identities.

You had a unique issue within you that caused you to have different identities that basically control you and your behavior. With this, oftentimes when the other alters wish to control, you take on the form of that personality, which then considered the different “Gods” the mortals worshipped, which was just you.

Many were often curious about this, but those who understood were Xie Lian (and his ghostly husband, Hua Cheng), Feng Xin, Mu Qing, Ling Wen, Lang Qianqiu, and of course Pei Ming.

Yeah, you heard right: Pei Ming, the womanizer of the Heavens, who has too many descendants for the records to count (poor Ling Wen).

And the best part? Pei Ming was in a relationship with you, and he knew your alters better than you knew them. He’s often had to deal with however many alters you have (he keeps track of how many specifically). He also understands how you feel like you cannot control them all the time, and the struggle of how to keep yourself composed.

He still loves you, even regardless, though you had your doubts, considering his reputation. You wondered when he would leave you, when he’d go find another partner to sleep with next. Even when others tried to convince you, you still had the lingering doubts.

And yet, today, at the Mid-Autumn festival….well, he’d prove you wrong.

All day, you had been in and out of consciousness with the alters switching through so much. You felt like your body was swarming like you’d been slammed into so many trees. It felt like a nightmare. And the worst part? Your form was constantly changing, so to avoid embarrassment and losing face, you hid in your palace all day, switching from different identities and your servants were going crazy with trying to calm you down.

Even when Xie Lian came by and tried to help, the alters wouldn’t stop the switching, and it felt like hell. Your stress levels were so high that no alter knew who should be in control, everyone was fighting in your head and you were slipping by the minute.

*When the eve was descending upon everyone, you were still stuck in your palace, and you were finally back in your original form and your original mind. Exhausted, you decided to not attend the Banquet and just stay inside, or go to do duties in the Mortal Realm. *

Though, a knock came at your palace doors and the servants were telling the guest that you were no longer seeing anyone today, but the doors slammed open, and Pei Ming was there….

He strides in, and grabs you by your waist, pulling you close, his lively fuchsia eyes gaze down at yours, softening slightly at the exhaustion within your eyes.

“I heard about what happened today. I’m surprised you didn’t inform me, though I can’t blame you anyway.” Pei Ming says quietly. He sighed and rested his forehead against yours, still softly gazing at you.

“Come. We can go to the festival together, your alters will not go out of control when I am there, and if they do? I’ll make sure they know not to interrupt us again.” Pei Ming reassures.

His eyes were soft and were sure. You couldn’t believe he was willing to put up with you still, but you were also glad. He wouldn’t leave you in your time of need.

The tenderness in the moment is overwhelming, but also sweet, even the servants have now disappeared to leave the two of you alone.
