    Summary

    Maomao scrubbed at her eyes. Her head hurt, but she soon realized it wasn’t because of the dream she was having; her phone was ringing, and not just anyone was calling her. Jinshi’s distinctive ringtone blared from her bedside table, and she groped around in the dark for it before answering.

    “‘Lo?” she mumbled. “What’s up?”

    Nothing. Maomao might’ve thought that she caught Jinshi’s quiet breathing on the other end of the line, but she might’ve been hallucinating it.

    She sat up, checking the clock beside her bed. “Jinshi?” she ventured. “Are you okay? Why are you calling me at one in the morning, hmm?”

    “Couldn’t sleep,” was Jinshi’s response. “Did I wake you? I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    Over their months at UA, this sort of Deku-Dynamite rivalry among fans has started to rise. Most people who like Izuku tend to hate Kacchan, for some inexplicable reason (well, maybe a little explicable, but still). Kacchan gets a ridiculous amount of bad press for the sports festival, being kidnapped by the League, and causing the downfall of All Might. Which, first of all, they shouldn’t have tied him up at the sports festival in the first place. And who blames the person who got kidnapped for their own kidnapping? 

    -----

    The press hates Katsuki. Izuku hates the press. So when the press goes too far, Izuku is going to be there for Katsuki.

    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.

    Summary

    Maomao has a lot of secrets that she keeps from Jinshi - but when one of her deadliest comes back to haunt her Jinshi gets caught in the crossfire and is kidnapped.

    But Maomao is a forced to be reckoned with when you mess with the people she loves and nothing will stop her from getting Jinshi back

    --

    I truly think that Maomao has all the attributes needed (except a lack of morals) to be an assassin and couldn't get the idea out of my head.

    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

    "Where'd you learn sign language, Maomao?"

    Maomao paused, her expression shifting. Jinshi's words lingered in her mind, sparking a wave of unease. Since when had she been this fluent? Why had she learned it? For whom?

    Questions swirled in her head, her chest tightening as an inexplicable sense of dread crept over her. She felt a tear escape her eye before she could stop it.

    "I... I can't remember."

    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...

    This work does not contain spoilers for the events of the novels, but the story uses characters not yet introduced in the anime.

    Summary

    The Queen of Swords: intellect, truth, independence. Sharp-witted, clear-thinking, objectively honest and logical. La Maomao, newly crowned princess of the royal court.

    The King of Cups: compassion, balance, grace. Emotionally intact, experienced wisdom, harmonious and understanding. Ka Zuigetsu, the emperor’s only living son.

    With unrest among the kingdom and the defecting Shi Clan, a marriage is arranged between the La Clan’s daughter Maomao and the crown prince, who is often referred to as Jinshi in the Inner Palace. Ripped away from her peaceful life in the countryside with her Great Uncle, Maomao quickly discovers the life of a royal is more than she bargained for: scandals, murder, and betrayal haunt the Inner Palace halls, and leaves her entangled in a series of incidents that threaten her very life.

    Summary

    "And here now is the problem. Maomao isn’t actually a very good liar."

    (Spoilers up to the end of LN 12!)

    In the bandit camp Maomao is questioned a little more incessantly on the topic of her supposed husband.

    "The best lies, in her experience, are always the ones closest to the truth. The ones that weave the threads of fact and fiction into one, uniform fabric, indistinguishable.
    There is only one person who has ever expressed real interest in her hand in marriage. Who has held her in his arms and kissed her. There can be no future for their relationship in truth,
    but just, says the little voice in the back of her head, imagine."

    In which Maomao has to improvise and talk some more about her "husband", Xiaohong grows stronger and is smarter than anyone gives her credit for, and Jinshi is only there by hearsay, until he finally has his Maomao back. Then he is, once again, so in love.

    AU / Missing scenes of the bandit camp and what happens after.

    Rumours say that she bewitched him.
    that she poisoned him.
    touched him...?

    Maomao says the rumors are stupid.
    Zuigetsu says, “Do you have any interest in marriage?”
    Her brow arched a fraction. “You’ll have to narrow that down. Are we speaking theoretically, or—”
    “To me,” he said, voice low but direct. “A marriage to me.”

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.
