Will Shadowheart break up with me if I sleep with the Emperor?

No, sleeping with the Emperor in Baldur's Gate 3 will not cause Shadowheart to break up with you; she generally doesn't get jealous or react negatively because the encounter happens within the Astral Plane and your psyche, meaning other companions don't even know about it, though other dalliances (like with Mizora) can have bigger impacts. The Emperor's romance is often separate and won't jeopardize your established romance with Shadowheart, who remains supportive of your needs, even if it's a unique situation.

Will Shadowheart be mad if I sleep with the Emperor?

No, Shadowheart generally does not get mad or jealous if you sleep with the Emperor, even if you are romancing her, because the scene happens in the mind/Astral Plane, and the game treats it as separate from your physical relationship with companions. She doesn't have direct dialogue about it, and your relationship with her usually remains unaffected, though you might have to choose a definitive romance path later in Act 3.

Does romancing the emperor affect other romances?

In Baldur's Gate 3, romancing the Emperor generally does not negatively affect your relationships with other companions, even if you're already in a romance, with most characters (like Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae'zel) having no major disapproval or even seeming okay with it, though some fan theories and minor bugs suggest potential for slight friction or specific character reactions (like Orpheus or potentially Minthara in Act 3 bugs).
