    Summary

    She'd gone too far.

    And now Jinshi is above her and she's staring into piercing purple eyes and he's leaning down and—

    Maomao knows how this should go.

    Men— Because that's what Jinshi is. A man. Not a sexless beauty to admire but never touch. A man. A whole one— they take what they want and they're rough and impatient and not to be pushed or provoked and Maomao doesn't know how she could have forgotten that—

    But Jinshi isn't rough.

    Or fast.

    Or even impatient.

    He didn't shove her under him or dive right in.

    He cradled her head.

    And laid her down gently.

    Or: What if the kiss in the cave wasn't interrupted

    Update: Now with Jinshi's POV in chapter 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.

    Summary

    ‘Literate and Gifted?’ Jinshi wondered. ‘Where the hell does this girl come from?’
    “It seems I have more questions than expected to ask you, girl.” He commented as he walked back to the desk.
    It had taken him two weeks to finally find this girl, so he was not letting her go until he got answers. Both on how she had known what was killing the imperial children, and why she had tried to keep her intervention hidden.

    Summary

    WARNING : LIGHT NOVEL SPOILERS UNTIL LN15

    Sometimes, the gods decide to bless two people with a soulmark when they meet. It is the sort of relationship often featured in romantic novels, but reality is not as kind as fiction.
    When Jinshi first sees his mark, he is worried. When Maomao finds hers, she is horrified.

    Or: an AU from the very beginning, using the soulmark trope.
