    Summary

    Maomao finds herself visiting Jinshi late at night as she has something important to tell him.

    ***

    “Master Jinshi, you have infected me”, she informed him, without any ceremony, just straight away with a tongue sometimes too quick for her own good.

    He blinked, confusion mixing with the surprise in his expression. “Infected?”, he repeated dumbfounded. “What… Are—Are you sick?”

    Summary

    Throughout the years, the moon prince would send her gifts she wouldn’t be able to procure on her own. Most were rare medicinal items from completed requests. Some, she received out of nowhere. And sometimes, he’d send her incense. Not too expensive though—she’d reproach him for that.

    So when a wandering merchant told the moon prince of an incense called “To Be Closest to the One You Desire,” he immediately thought of her. The name sounded poetic. The merchant didn’t want money—only something of value to the moon prince. Skeptical, he obliged.

    He sent the incense to the apothecary as a casual thank-you. And that’s when it started.

    He began hearing her thoughts—the ones not meant to be said aloud.

    Thoughts that left him reeling.
    Confounded.
    And maybe… wanting more.

    Or: the JinMao fic where Jinshi starts hearing Maomao’s internal monologues, and absolutely cannot handle it.

    Summary

    Maomao was treating Jinshi, as she always would, regardless of his injury, but she was really sick of how... excited he got from pain. Teasing him in a bit of pay back was simply too fun an option.

    Jinshi was well and truly sick of Maomao acting like he wasn't doing everything imaginable to be with her, especially after her attempt at teasing him.

    If she wanted to play with knifes and tease fine, he would simply rise to the occasion and do more than play, and far more than tease.

    Summary

    Maomao had heard rumours like everyone in the pleasure district as of late about a fox spirit in the nearby woods luring in woman and stealing their purity.

    Fortunately she knew those spirits were nothing more than stories.

    Unfortunately when she went look for a mythic flower that night she was left face to face with the kitsune man of rumor.

    Summary

    Maomao wakes to a morning that is exactly as it should be.

    Her tools are in place. Her medicines are prepared. The poisons she plans to test have already been rendered harmless, saving her the trouble. The Rear Palace is orderly, silent, and obedient to her routine.

    𝙏𝙤𝙤 𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩.

    As the day unfolds, Maomao begins to notice the absences—servants who never arrive, footsteps that stop just beyond sight, doors that are always unlocked for her. Nothing is broken. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is missing.

    Until she realizes the truth.

    Every precaution has been taken. Every danger removed. Every choice quietly made for her—by someone 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.

    The palace is safe.

    Summary

    “I didn’t mean to. It was just an experiment gone wrong.”

    “No,” Joka almost roared, “This is the last time.”

    “What do you mean?” Her eyes snapped back to her sister’s furious ones, “I’m a scientist, Joka. This is how I make my money.”

    “If you don’t end up killing yourself,” Joka fumed, “You’re going to end up in prison. You’re lucky the paramedics didn’t ask any questions about what they saw in your apartment. But you might not be so lucky next time.”

    -
    It all started as an experiment gone wrong, but instead of making a scientific breakthrough, Maomao is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. There she meets a host of characters who definitely belong there (but not her) including a very beautiful man who seems to think he's stuck in a Chinese historical drama.

    Summary

    Maomao was rather sick of Jinshi's sudden refusal to touch her, especially after his treating her like a sack of rice earlier in the day, in his attempts to touch her as little as possible least he be tempted.

    Thus Maomao planed to do exactly that. Tempt him.

    She knew too many tricks to simply let him think their options were all or nothing, after all. Maybe being tricked into the same carriage had some benefits.

    Summary

    Her vision of the gardens blurs and sways momentarily as her foot catches on something. Before she can trip forward, Lahan sits her down on a bench.

    “Did you eat buckwheat?” He asks sternly.

    Maomao doesn’t remember ever telling Lahan about her sensitivity to buckwheat nor ever mentioning it in his presence. His extensive knowledge of her can only thus be the result of his freak tendencies, or worse—that monocled weirdo’s. 

    Yet in that fleeting second, with her burning throat and her trembling hands, annoyance doesn’t come to her.

    “I don’t– I don’t know,” she says, breathless.

    “How can you not know what you put in your own mouth?!”

    There it is. The everlasting exasperation she feels thrumming through her veins whenever her abacus-face of a cousin finds himself in her immediate vicinity. She goes to hit his shin but loses her balance as a new coughing fit racks her body.

    Or: Maomao accidentally ingests buckwheat, and it's not even an assassination attempt. Rude.
