    Summary

    The dust is still settling after Cheng-wang’s coup and the war with Dai. Xiao Heng has finally made it back home, grieving but safe, which is sometimes all one can ask for, Xue Fangfei thinks. She turns and shifts in their bed, her husband’s arms wrapped tight around her, and drifts into sleep.

    She startles awake violently, to her husband’s familiarly callused hands pulling her out of the wet, suffocating soil of her nightmares.

    .

    Zhao Qi has absolutely none of this context needed to understand what’s going on, though.

    Summary

    Xie Zheng was reading documents when Fan Chang Ning burst into the room like a small, violent storm.

    “Jiefu! I figured out romance,” she announced.

    He blinked and immediately rolled up whatever he was reading like a guilty official hiding corruption evidence. “You figured what out?”

    “You’re doing it wrong,” she said, climbing into the chair across from him and kneeling on it like a general planning a war. “You can’t just stand there and look at my sister like a sad ghost.”

    “I am not a sad ghost.”

    She ignored that. “Do you like my sister?” she asked bluntly.

    Xie Zheng felt like someone had just shoved an entire pig leg down his throat.

    “I… I…” he scrambled for an answer, suddenly finding the table extremely interesting.

    His silence was answered by Chang Ning’s slow, smug grin—the kind only small children and very dangerous politicians possess.

    “I have a plan,” she announced.

    *In which Chang Ning was the genius behind the signature Tangerine peel kiss (and other crazy romance manoeuvres thereafter).

    Summary

    “You are rather infuriating, you know,” she said finally, her voice sharp but carrying a teasing edge. “I expected the man who dares speak of marriage at a ball to be… at least a little wicked, a little dangerous, perhaps. And yet, here you are—merely calm, polite, and annoyingly composed.”

    Michael’s dark eyes flicked toward her, just the faintest quirk at the corner of his mouth suggesting amusement. “Wicked, you say?” he repeated softly, almost as if testing the word, gauging her reaction. “I find it curious that you would expect wickedness in a man whose only offense, by your account, is attentiveness.”

    Kate’s lip curled in a mix of exasperation and teasing challenge. “Attentiveness,” she echoed, her voice dripping with mock disdain. “Attentiveness is all very well when it is courteous. When it is innocuous. But the man I spoke to in the garden, the man I met at the ball behind a mask… he had fire. He had audacity. He had a wicked gleam that made one question one’s propriety and composure simultaneously. You are far too tame, sir. I am disappointed.”

    Summary

    /written after episode 29, contains spoilers for episodes 1-29.

    What if Duke of Ding hadn't died on that ship? What if Dou Zhao had been more forward-looking and scheming in the shadows. What if she wanted to protect Song Mo? Well, that's how the story begins. From their first (?) meeting on a rainy night and the threat of losing their lives, through many meetings and shared plans, to the grand finale and the life they created together.
