    Summary

    After their return from the Shi's stronghold, the Moon Prince and the daughter of Kan Lakan has been summoned by the Emperor.

    The Emperor is glad to have seen his brother finally step out of Jinshi the eunuch's shadow and into the light of his role as the Moon Prince.
    His Majesty is also relieved to learn that Kan Lakan's daughter has been returned safe and sound.

    But he has learned of the unnecessary risks his brother took to find Maomao himself, and that does not pleases his Majesty.

    Thinking it would appease his brother and could go back on his words later on, Jinshi blurts out that he needed to find Maomao himself because he planned on making her his consort. Put on the spot, thinking that she could get out of it later on, Maomao confirms.

    The Emperor give them one week to make it official.

    And so, Maomao returns to the inner-court. As the Moon Prince's Consort, this time.

    Now… what ?

    Summary

    Five years ago they parted. Tonight, they meet again.
    Elizabeth is Mrs. Montleigh. Darcy is married. The world has moved on—at least it ought to have.
    But one evening is enough to remind them how fragile the future can be when the past refuses to stay buried.

    (This work explores morally questionable themes. If that’s not your cup of tea, please don’t click. No endorsement of infidelity in real life—just me indulging my darker narrative impulses.)

    Summary

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    ***

    The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.

Acting is one thing, but what happens when the mask starts to feel real? To make matters worse, how will Loid handle the sudden rivalry with a man from Yor’s past, determined to disrupt their staged domestic bliss?

    Summary

    Loid is a methodical man. He's got excellent stamina, sharp reflexes, and a steady mind. In fact, he rarely ever needs rest. It's one of the things he prides himself in being as Westalis' greatest spy. So what happens when he starts to...slip? Work has become increasingly difficult, and balancing the operation that is keeping his family afloat proves to be challenging in and of itself. Especially when he's got such a gentle creature to greet him at the door everyday.

    OR

    Loid comes home stressed, overworked, tired, and fails to realize he's just absentmindedly kissed his wife's forehead upon walking through the door.
