Summary
Maomao is a dedicated apothecary and reluctant courtesan, raised in the pleasure district and suddenly dragged into the heart of a crime at the brothel where she works. Plunged into the chaos it unleashes, she bargains for her survival with the man who will change her fate.
Her decisions lead her to Li’s greatest seat of power, the Imperial Palace, where she navigates the court, intent on staying out of trouble; but her attempts at self-preservation prove futile in the presence of the revered Moon Prince.
Amid the court’s intrigues, being chosen by one who bears the weight of his lineage places her at the center of controversy. A mounting crisis engulfs them, blurring Maomao’s sense of freedom and threatening Jinshi’s autonomy and identity, as both strive to emerge unscathed from a dilemma with no simple solutions, one that demands further sacrifices.

Summary
People say that a story without a full stop will always be unfinished.
For Eren this is true; with a relatively quiet and settled life, he finds himself facing an old relationship that didn't have a proper resolution when his ex, Mikasa Ackerman, reappears in town unforeseeably, causing a jolt in his emotions.
Now he has to deal with the fact that, perhaps feelings that have been buried in the past can easily return to the surface of his heart despite his efforts to forget everything.
And that perhaps they may expect more from this unplanned reencounter. -

Summary
Powder's precedents have been intelligence and dedication since she can remember. She isn't the type to think of herself as better than others, but there's a certain pride within herself, something that pushed her to be the best. Never had a problem in keeping that status quo.
One day that changed, though. Her problem had a name, an arrogant smile and an incomparable ability to drive her mad.
If they both have one thing in common it’s their dedication and a little secret–which might come to light. -

Summary
"He stretches out his arm, caressing her azure bangs away from her pretty face. “You mean the world to this little girl.”
Sincerity pouring from his heart. The gentle look on his countenance always disarmed her, without fail; she couldn't remember a single time when Ekko had shown her anything other than kindness, affection and devotion. It's the kind of thing one gets used to and never wants to let go."Or TimeBomb babysitting little Isha.

Summary
Mikasa was a young woman with many life experiences she wouldn't want to have. Despite her introspective nature, her mind was always noisy, growing a lot of emotional pain.
While the obligations of a so-called noble lady knock on her door, and her grandmother's inescapable wish for her to marry soon, another tragedy strikes her already broken heart. Unfortunately or not, after this she meets him: Eren Yeager, an indefinable man who suddenly becomes part of her story, bringing her a glimpse of what a peaceful and happy life could be like.
But this doesn't last long...

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.
