    Summary

    『 Sequel of "Unfinished Business" 』

    °*°

    As Maomao and Jinshi settle into their new life, their quiet routine is interrupted by a late-night visit from a minister. The following day, she hears from Xiaolan about mounting tensions tied to the new examination system— young bureaucrats are being underpaid and mistreated by senior officials, hinting at deeper political unrest. Concerned for Jinshi, who is increasingly overburdened due to his usual aides being tied up with other matters, Maomao begins to investigate, uncovering signs of a possibly greater matter beneath the surface.

    Summary

    『 Sequel of "Make me yours (and be mine)" 』

    °*°

    Life moves on.
    Even three weeks into her marriage, Maomao still struggles to adjust to her new life and accept the changes it has brought — changes like the sudden shift in her status, where she’s now treated like fragile porcelain and bowed to rather than the other way around. She finds herself busier than ever, being indulged by the most esteemed figures of the nation and facing tasks she never imagined for herself, including overseeing and guiding Princess Lingli’s studies.

    Summary

    『 Sequel of "Upon a new horizon" 』

    °*°

    Jinshi has waited a long time, an eternity, if you'd ask him, to finally witness Maomao wrapped up in the red silk that would finally seal their formal, eternal union. And not to have a claim over her, but to experience a whole new level of intimacy with the woman he loves most. Soon, she would be his to hold, to kiss, to wake up to at sunrise and shower with gifts of questionable purpose. And him hers.
