Summary
“Maomao?” He presses, fingers closing over hers and lowering their joined hands to her lap, and she blinks in surprise at the use of her name. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Their technique is sloppy,” she answers honestly. “I feel strain on my heart. They should have targeted the nervous system instead.”
Master Jinshi stares at her like she’s spoken a foreign language he can’t even begin to try and understand. She tries to explain.
“Certain snake venoms cause coagulation of the blood, which could have been effective and made the blood unable to move through my veins, but if the end result is simply making my heart stop beating by targeting the muscles involv-”
“Maomao,” Master Jinshi says, very calmly, “I need you to stop speaking now.”
(an assassin tries to kill jinshi with a poisoned blade that gets maomao instead) (she is obviously much less concerned about this than everyone else)

Summary
Maomao has a lot of secrets that she keeps from Jinshi - but when one of her deadliest comes back to haunt her Jinshi gets caught in the crossfire and is kidnapped.
But Maomao is a forced to be reckoned with when you mess with the people she loves and nothing will stop her from getting Jinshi back
--
I truly think that Maomao has all the attributes needed (except a lack of morals) to be an assassin and couldn't get the idea out of my head.

Summary
JinMao. Maomao finds a winged monster in a ditch, and when his blood accidentally mixes with hers, she gains the ability to see supernatural phenomena. Demon Prince Jinshi declares her his First Human Friend, and decides that she can help him with his mission, even though she is exhausted by his presence by the end of their very first conversation and by their second conversation, he has already eaten several people.
He has wings, and a tail, and a giant freaky tongue.
He walks through walls, flies, and torments anyone who causes her even brief discomfort.Rated explicit because of future chapters.
AU that is set in the same time period, with a lot of the same characters and situations.

Summary
After Maomao serves as a medical attendant at the birth of Basen and Lishu's baby, a shift begins to happen inside of her that changes how she feels about herself as a woman, and about Jinshi as a man. Meanwhile, the prince remains far away and blissfully unaware that his cat is in heat and the emperor, due to an error in understanding, believes that Maomao is already pregnant and decides the right thing for him to do is to reveal this information to the head of the La clan so they might quietly find a way to cover for an unplanned pregnancy that doesn't exist.

Summary
“I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.
“Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”
Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

Summary
In the course of her duties, Maomao anticipates tasting many exotic and delightful foods, and perhaps even better, many exotic and delightful toxins.
She fails to anticipate just how much trouble some of those substances will cause her, and in what way.
Or, Maomao ingests some kind of sex pollen, and Jinshi steps up to the plate.

He honestly should know better. He's aware of her upbringing, such as it was, knows she learned her lessons well. She paints her face with dirt every day for a reason. It would be foolish to assume that painting her face is the only defense she has against violence and violation.

Summary
For the merest second, before Master Jinshi looks up, he appears almost as a normal man. Then she squints her eyes as his sparkling smile blooms, as his lashes sweep artfully down, as his hair seems to glow deep indigo.
Maomao winces. She wishes, not for the first time, that she could tell him to turn it off.

Summary
Maomao sighs. It is incredibly unfair that her pregnancy with the child of the Imperial younger brother exponentially increases her chances of being poisoned, and at the same time does not allow her the opportunity to enjoy it.

Jinshi’s beautiful eyes go wide. “You could see it,” he breathes. “You see as the Mother Royal did. That's why you asked me the colours of the doors.”

Summary
Maomao didn’t enter a normal marriage, one whose consummation isn’t the business of many. She entered an Imperial one. Consummation is a thing of politics. If Maomao wasn’t raised at the Verdigris House, she might have shied away from such indecent talk. She’s supposed to be a blushing virgin, not a knowledgeable virgin.
And Maomao knows what’s next.

Summary
“Have you decided we are to consummate our marriage in a pond, your grace?”
Half a year has passed since Lady Gyokuyou rejoined the rear palace as the Precious Consort. Without any word of a potential heir, the chilling gossip that arises within the court about the Emperor’s proclivities makes even the bitterest of winter days feel warm in comparison. After all, he shares his face with a monster that has yet to be forgotten.
He just wants a moment of peace. To hide from it all.
Nothing is ever that simple.
In which love is both poison and its own cure depending on the dose. Falling in love is unwise for any Emperor, but all the more hazardous when the object of your affections is Lady Maomao.

Summary
When he was the Moon Prince, he would have done anything to ensure Lady Gyokuyou became the next Empress of Li. She was the kind of beauty that would bring entire empires to their knees. She possessed the wit and elegance of a ruler, and a caring smile that could melt hearts of stone. There was little wonder why she was said to be the late-Emperor’s favorite despite never bearing him a son.
In which the Precious Consort returns to the rear palace and Lady Maomao doesn’t quite understand why the Emperor insists on wasting so much time with a sprig of hemlock when his garden now contains a perfectly cultivated rose.

Summary
There was an unnerving delight that sprung into those cold, intelligent eyes when she saw the tarnished silver within the cup. One had to wonder if his consort had a death wish as she reached for the poisoned wine with glee.
In which the Moon Prince is forced to take the throne when the Emperor dies unexpectedly without another heir, and a certain strategist moves the pieces of fate out of order.
