    Summary

    A tense, atmospheric Jinshi/Maomao AU with a twist.

    Maomao is trapped in the heart of a desert village; a harem of beautiful women ruled over by the Sultan: a man who mirrors Jinshi in power and possessiveness, yet differs from him in ways that force her to question everything she thinks she knows about him.

    As the tournament to claim her hand approaches, Lihaku, Basen, and Jinshi must fight not only for her freedom, but for the right moment; one that gives Maomao the chance to carry out a plan only she can see.

    Summary

    Jinshi rises too, and pads over to the bamboo cabinet to retrieve a bottle of dark wine. Uncharacteristically, he feels genuine excitement stir within him. Not only will this be his last night at Verdigris, but he’ll be servicing the woman who is responsible for freeing him from it. There is not much he can offer in words or compensation for what she is granting him. Ultimately all he has to give, as always, is his body.

    Though her situation is strange, Jinshi resolves to helping her how he can. If this is his final night as the Moon Prince, then he will put on his very best performance. If anyone deserves a night of blissful pleasure, it would be this young lady, who holds his future in her delicate hands. With that thought in mind, he commits to his own plan.

    or, a sort of role reversal where Jinshi is a male courtesan known as the Moon Prince of Verdigris House, and Maomao the noble lady who buys him out.

    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

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.

    Summary

    “Perhaps it isn’t fair of me to ask you to enter the same cage I was born to,” he pulled his head away from hers, looking down to her with a sadness that felt so much softer than it had the rest of this night, “but the thought of waiting on nothing but hope for the day I might be granted a name and the freedoms that come with it to instead ask you to be my wife, I…” He trailed off with a slight shaking of his head, not able to articulate the words. He cared for her deeply, he want her as his wife, she had known that for some time. But to such a degree he struggled for the words to describe the chance he would lose her to time and his obligation to the Emperor? Was she worth that.

    “None the less I will ask Maomao do you truly want to become my consort, the only one I will ever take, even if not tonight some night soon” the assertion shocked her, she didn’t know why, she knew that’s how he felt. She couldn’t help but look up from his chest to his face at the certainty he placed in those words. Even with the hesitation he had been riddled with since she first arrived tonight.

    Canon divergent at light novel 13, and Jinshi's summons.

    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

    Jinshi's latest undercover Op is about to go horribly wrong and change the course of his, Maomao's and possibly Li's future.

    Maybe now Jinshi can get in on Maomao’s frequent kidnapping card and get to the bottom of… more things than he bargained for. Healing, heartache, and an unraveling of the muttled panoply of misunderstandings in palace and kingdom alike.

    Intermittent 🌶️🌶️🌶️ chapters MOSTLY Mature rating, E kicks in at Ch 62, but this one is WAY more plot and character driven than straight spice. AND I mark it off so you can skip those parts if you like.

    Summary

    JinMao. Maomao finds a winged monster in a ditch, and when his blood accidentally mixes with hers, she gains the ability to see supernatural phenomena. Demon Prince Jinshi declares her his First Human Friend, and decides that she can help him with his mission, even though she is exhausted by his presence by the end of their very first conversation and by their second conversation, he has already eaten several people.

    He has wings, and a tail, and a giant freaky tongue.
    He walks through walls, flies, and torments anyone who causes her even brief discomfort.

    Rated explicit because of future chapters.

    AU that is set in the same time period, with a lot of the same characters and situations.

    Summary

    *Formerly titled Moonlit Poppies*

    As peace settles along Li's borders, the Great Commandant Lakan, head of the formidable La Clan, is called to return to the capital. Maomao, his only child and head Lady of the clan, returns to a home she barely remembers. Little excitement is expressed here, as much of the court considers her a scandalous illegitimate child born out of a tryst with a courtesan. Rumors swirl that she inherited the La Clan's signature strangeness, with whispers circulating about her unusual behaviors and interests amongst the haughty ladies. Though she tries to stay in the shadows and live quietly, she somehow still catches the gaze and interest of who matters most: the devilishly handsome and unmarried Crown Prince.

    After that, her simple life grows a great deal more complicated.
