Working in China as Taiwanese

TLDR- I naturalized via marriage, got a Taiwanese Passport, now I have a lucrative offer in Shanghai. Will I loose my Hukou in Taiwan?or my Passport if I take it? What are the implications of working in Mainland China.

Many Taiwanese work in China. Just do not establish household registration there or you will lose citizenship in Taiwan.

I dunno how a card can become loose

Under Article 9-1 of the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (Cross-Strait Act), Taiwanese citizens are prohibited from having Chinese household registration or a passport from China.

Will having a TaiBaoZhen and just working in Shanghai for a few years, be detrimental to my citizenship or my hukou?

No. Your Taiwanese household registration might just become inactive, if you stay overseas for a few years.
Also keep in mind recent changes to NHI insurance. New rules for suspending NHI when abroad
