Summary
Concordant Pairs, the concept of soulmates, had long ago become identifiable through a testing procedure whose details were carefully guarded by the Imperial Court. Maomao had never expected any of this to become relevant to her life. For most people, it never did. The Imperial Soul Registry only concerned itself exclusively with the imperial family, after all.
Royal soulmates were, of course, considered matters of state.

『 Sequel of "Dancing with our Hands Tied" 』
°*°
A year has passed since Jinshi’s narrow brush with death, and neither he nor Maomao has forgotten the encounter with that odorless, tasteless poison, nor the many misadventures they’ve faced so far. Just when they think it’s over, a familiar thread resurfaces, pulling them far from the Capital once again— straight to the Western Province, for the third time.
As they journey to Gyokuyou’s homeland, events begin to unfold around them and within their circle. But which happenings are mere coincidence, and which are inevitable?
They’ll have to find out the hard way.Series

How Bridges Burn by Fayna_Panyanocka

Summary
She was used to living behind walls.
Behind logic, silence, and a cold caution that was so easily mistaken for indifference.
Maomao had always believed in one simple truth: if you don’t let anyone too close, it hurts less.But some people do not stop at closed doors.
They do not wait for permission.
They do not retreat, even when pushed away time and time again.And one day, all that is left is to stand amidst the ashes, watching the bridges burn, knowing there is no going back to the person you used to be.
💜 🌕 💚
Evidently, for Maomao to realize that her "lukewarm water" is actually scalding hot, something extraordinary has to happen. And so, it did.
Note: This work contains references to the recent light novels, so please proceed with caution to avoid spoilers.

Summary
Fate, however, doesn't govern in accordance with civil law, and on occasion, it deals him a particularly cruel hand. One that can take even the most beautiful of words, the most amazing of declarations, and contort it into an ugly mockery of itself; something that makes his ears ring and his skin break into a cold sweat; causes his grip on the brush to slacken and his lungs to forget how to breathe:
"Master Jinshi, I think I'm pregnant," Maomao says. Such simple, wonderful words, yet he already feels lightheaded picturing all the things that'll need to go right for this to not go horribly wrong.

Disease creeps through the capital streets, driving the elite into seclusion, not all under their own will.

There, the walls close in on Maomao and Jinshi.
Or, the quarantine origin story for "Maomao's Litter".

Summary
Dead bodies don't lie. People do.
Maomao is a forensic analyst who trusts evidence more than instincts and prefers to work alone—until a series of deaths ruled accidental refuses to behave like coincidence. The case comes with a complication: Jinshi, a detective with too much polish, too many connections, and an inconvenient habit of paying attention.
What begins as a professional necessity becomes an evolving hypothesis—shared late nights, careful collaboration, and trust built one conclusion at a time. *AU*

Summary
At the heart of the imperial palace, a strange silence reveals that something is wrong. The emperor’s children, attentive, intelligent, and deeply connected to their parents—notice before anyone else that the harmony that has always sustained the family is under threat. Separate rooms, avoided glances, and restrained tensions raise a shared fear: the possibility of seeing the axis of their world collapse. While each child reacts in their own way—between logic, irony, prudence, and emotion—a forced family meeting brings the true cause of the conflict to the surface.
or
Jinshi, unable to physically reject his wife, decides that the best solution to keep her at a distance is by moving out of the imperial chamber.

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.
