    Summary

    "I thought a woman as curious as you would be eager to get rid of her virginity and get on experimenting." Joka continued, eyes piercing Maomao.

    "Virginity is just a social construct, it's not real." Meimei said, but her words sounded lukewarm.

    "Virginity is real as long as you have it." Pairin giggled. She got up from her chair and ruffled Maomao's hair, who batted her hand away.

    Pairin moved closer to Joka, talking about which food they should order. As her sisters debated between mapo tofu and dan dan noodles, Maomao barely remembered to offer her opinion. In her mind, a plan was beginning to form.

    Amidst a personal crisis and longing to shut her sisters up about her sex life, Maomao plans an experiment with a simple objective: losing her virginity and seeing what's all that fuss about sex. After careful consideration, she chooses an ideal partner: Jinshi, an acquaintance who happens to be the biggest known playboy in campus. Now, she only needs to pull off a simple, five-step plan to get him actually interested in her.

    Unfortunately, it's easier said than done.

    Summary

    A college student in the city, Maomao rolls through the punches life has given her thus far. Along with working mostly full time at a small traditional pharmacy, she has no time to dwell. Though, some strange things had been happening around her lately, upon discovering something she very much shouldn’t have. She figures in a city so big, coincidences happen, until they cease being coincidence. Strangest of all was the man who kept coming to visit her.
    She didn’t ask to be pulled into his world, yet somehow found her way into his orbit.

    Summary

    Years prior, the Emperor of Li and the Grand Commandant came to an arrangement. By promising the La Princess to the Moon Prince, they hoped that they could protect their children and secure their futures.

    Maomao is against this from the start, understanding that if she became the Moon Prince’s consort, a man whose real name and face is a mystery to her, then her life would go from mixing herbs to dodging assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Jinshi does his best to avoid her… even going as far as to hide his true identity as her betrothed; believing that she will be no different from countless others who sought only to use him. But after she arrives at the rear palace, he becomes fascinated with the indifferent, freckled girl, who may be the only one able to see past the masks he wears.

    AU where Jinshi is forced to take Maomao as his consort—and future bride—against their will. To survive, the two begin to low-key rebel against a court of vipers in silk robes that’s trying to crown them and crush them in equal measure. Because here, royalty feels more like a prison.

    Summary

    "For you, I will remove every obstacle that keeps us apart. One day. Just know that. I won't let what you fear come to pass. I swear it."

    Jinshi was in serious trouble now. With the Emperor’s children continuing to grow sick and die, he’s not sure where to go from here. The doctors were at a complete loss, and it seems that the chains of his future tighten with each passing day. At least until a young apothecary girl with sharp blue eyes, a splattering of freckles, and was as blunt as a hammer comes into his life. Despite having everything handed to him on a silver platter, Jinshi had lived a lonely and dull life where he learned to hide his true face behind a façade he presents to the court… until he meets Maomao.

    For the first time, someone sees past his mask to his true self and she fills his world with color. Jinshi's feelings for Maomao evolve from initial curiosity and amusement to deep affection and romantic interest until he realized he cannot live without her.

    This is going to be a retelling of the Apothecary Diaries only they’re told from Jinshi's POV, based on both the anime and light novels. (Season 1-2 of the anime, Light Novels 1-4)

    Summary

    Jinshi would never pretend that he knew how the heavens and the earth moved to get him here, in this exact moment, but he did know of a certain game of go which lead him to, eventually, stand on the steps of the most prominent brothel in the capital’s red light district. For business, of course.

    Summary

    “That's not how it went.” Maomao said, unwrapping her hands from their rightful place behind his neck.

    “No, but isn't this better?” Trying to steer his mind away from the weird moment of clarity he seemed to be having, Jinshi ran his right index finger down the middle of her back.

    She shuddered deliciously, but regained her composure and glared at him. It sent shivers down his spine.

    “I don't usually have fantastical dreams.” She murmured, leaning away from him but not leaving his lap. “Much less lucid ones.”

    “Well, probably because it's supposed to be my dream.” He grumbled, put out that his pleasant wet dream was going down the drain.

    Due to a strange pair of incense burners, Jinshi and Maomao meet inside of shared dreams. It takes them a while to realize that.

    Summary

    A fictional marriage - it sounds quite safe. At least, that's what Maomao thought. It's all simple: sign the agreement, nod at official receptions, and don't succumb to the charm of the Moon Prince. Easy, right? Maomao views this union as just another strange experiment of fate, while Jinshi sees it as another annoying duty. But what happens when the line between a game and the truth blurs? And even more difficult - when the heart stubbornly refuses to follow any logic...

    Not just a retelling of the anime. Different plot, different setting, but still the same lovely Jinmao. I promise, you will definitely like it!

    Summary

    What Maomao wanted most, though she’d never admit it, was to believe she deserved the care Jinshi offered so freely, to stop waiting for the moment he’d realise she was nothing special after all.
