    Summary

    JinMao. As Fengxian's life comes to an end, Maomao makes a discovery about her birth parents that causes her to ask questions and ponder why her life is the way it is and why she is who she is. When Ah-Duo is diagnosed with a terminal illness soon after Fengxian passes, Maomao is entrusted with much of her care and witnesses the usually guarded members of the imperial family facing their regrets, fears, and humanity.

    Canon divergent but not a lot of spoilers beyond the second season of the anime.

    References to some of the darker subjects in the overall story.

    Summary

    Amidst the buzz of modern Beijing, Maomao and Jinshi are married, navigating careers, student loans, and a brand new, terrifyingly positive pregnancy test.

    Or they were.

    One freak accident later, Maomao has slipped through a crack in time. Now she's lost in a world without Wi-Fi, being "rescued" by a man who is certainly not a historical reenactor. A man who happens to be a regal, intimidating prince... who also happens to wear her husband's face.

    Summary

    In the sterile logic of the 21st century, there is no room for ghosts. A lesson learned through years of therapy and medication. The life he remembers - An imperial court, a forbidden love, a promise shattered by death - is not a memory. This grief, not a wound to be healed, but a symptom to be managed. The life he remembers is given a clinical name - his memories are the illness; the prescription is to forget.

    For more than a decade, he tried to believe them.

    But when a viral video captures the face of a bottle girl in a Shanghai night club, the lie comes undone. It is her - The same cynical eyes, the same untamable spirit - The ghost had made flesh.
