Summary
“Jester’s here. The wedding is off. I had a dress and this huge prank planned for Fjord, and now nobody will see either one!”
The Sending blasts through the ordered calm of Caleb’s thoughts. Veth. Her shrill delivery is flippant. The message itself is a fluffernutter: an unmitigated bombshell.

Summary
After saving Jinshi, Maomao assumed things would go back to normal. She would be his servant, performing various investigations at his request, and studying her medicine on the side.
Instead she is stuck on a new trajectory that threatens the simple desires she loved in life. With Jinshi, she must hide her new identity in plain sight and aid the Rear palace by making sure no more Imperial heirs perish if she and Jinshi want to escape the chains of duty weighting them down.
During this process she must learn to be a wife and mother without letting enemies know she is the Moon Prince’s wife.

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. From his first meeting with Maomao to at least to the final episode of season 2.

Summary
Jinshi paid for the whole night, but the reason why is far more innocent than Maomao expects. Jinshi's reason might be innocent, but as soon as he meets the brilliant and beautiful woman he quickly starts to fall head over heels. He might be able to convince her to assist with his investigation, but can he convince her to trust him with her heart?
A fic that draws on elements of canon, but is not actually canon. An AU where Maomao is a courtesan at Verdigris House. The palace is plagued with mysterious deaths, and Jinshi suspects poison. He's told of a courtesan that has knowledge of medicine and poison, and seeks her out with the intention of requesting her assistance with the investigation.
