Summary
Maomao was born the daughter of Fengxian and Lakan—one of the most respected (and feared) men in the empire. As a baby, she was promised to Prince Ka Zuigetsu in an arranged marriage between families. To the adults, it was a brilliant political move. To her, it was just a future she never chose.
Growing up among gilded walls and silent rules, Maomao learned early to observe—and to resist.
Jinshi, the young prince, was raised to rule. Surrounded by expectations, he always followed the path laid out… until he realized that Maomao had no intention of doing the same.She doesn’t like him. He doesn’t understand why.
But the two are bound by a destiny that never stops tightening.- Language:

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
The Queen of Swords: intellect, truth, independence. Sharp-witted, clear-thinking, objectively honest and logical. La Maomao, newly crowned princess of the royal court.
The King of Cups: compassion, balance, grace. Emotionally intact, experienced wisdom, harmonious and understanding. Ka Zuigetsu, the emperor’s only living son.
With unrest among the kingdom and the defecting Shi Clan, a marriage is arranged between the La Clan’s daughter Maomao and the crown prince, who is often referred to as Jinshi in the Inner Palace. Ripped away from her peaceful life in the countryside with her Great Uncle, Maomao quickly discovers the life of a royal is more than she bargained for: scandals, murder, and betrayal haunt the Inner Palace halls, and leaves her entangled in a series of incidents that threaten her very life.

Summary
"She's a whore!"
He'd never appeared so loathsome before the emperor in all his years. "She's to be my wife-give her due respect. This is not up for debate or discussion, you said so yourself."
"Due respect?" A heavy, disappointed sigh filled the room—Zui always did have a talent for making the emperor pinch the bridge of his noes. "If you truly think that lowly woman is fit to be wed into the imperial family then I, too, must call into question your sanity. Simply because she wet your virgin prick does not entitle her to yourself and our country for all eternity."
"If loving her, devoting myself to her, cherishing her above all else is insanity then let them call me a mad—you call me mad—I will be the maddest of them all."
"So make her a consort, sure, and visit her each night—but a wife? To taint our empire so.."
"I'd make her empress if that is what she so desires."

I wanted to try writing Jinmao smut and it ended up becoming my main fic taking on themes of challenging fate, the ubiquitous position of inferiority, and men always thinking they know best: told in dual perspective
