Summary
In Nanjing's Qinhuai pleasure quarters, Xiu Lan survives as a scarred and unwilling courtesan who recoils from every touch.
However, when an imperial edict threatens to tear her world apart, silver-haired General Qin Che: red-eyed, powerful, and bored with women who fall too easily for him; buys her freedom at triple the price on a whim.
Not to force her but because he's bored and wants to play the long game: see how long it takes for the stubborn one to come to him willingly. What begins as his amused challenge of patience becomes her slow, trembling thaw; until defiance cracks and Want takes its place.

Summary
Choice is something Lucy Carlyle had never been given. She'd been forced to join Jacobs' agency; forced to go into that mill, forced to leave her team to die so she could live. So she makes a choice that is just for her: she files an official DEPRAC report on her own behalf, to expose Jacobs and the corrupt adults of her town. When Inspector Montagu Barnes is sent to investigate the claim, he meets a brave but traumatized young girl that he knows won't survive if she's left behind when he returns to London. So he does the only thing he can in the short time he has to get her away from her abusers: he legally adopts her and brings her London with him.
Now, practically every choice is Lucy's. Now she can have the opportunities the adults of her town would have denied her. Except, she doesn't choose Fittes or Rotwell; she chooses Lockwood & Co. Now Barnes has to deal with Anthony Lockwood as both a DEPRAC officer and as the father-figure of the girl with whom Lockwood is clearly smitten.

Summary
“There’s a reason you’re here, Lucy. There’s a reason you’re stuck in these woods, and there’s a reason you don’t remember why. It may seem like a horrible mystery right now, but there is an answer. I—we would like to help you find it. You shouldn’t have to wander these woods for all eternity. You deserve to find peace.”
Or - AU set before book/show canon where Lucy is a Visitor, and Lockwood and George have to figure out how she died.
(title comes from the song If We're Being Honest by Novo Amor)
