    Summary

    When the Emperor passed away unexpectedly, Jinshi took the throne as regent until the next Emperor came of age, and cruel promises needed to be kept: Maomao would not be his wife. Released from her duties, Maomao returned to the Verdigris House as a courtesan.

    At the age of fifteen, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and Jinshi was freed from the role. He had never taken a consort, never a concubine. Rumors circulated of the former regent’s chastity. Even Maomao heard this, though she did not listen. She was a courtesan now. And yet, he visited her.

    Summary

    What Maomao wanted most, though she’d never admit it, was to believe she deserved the care Jinshi offered so freely, to stop waiting for the moment he’d realise she was nothing special after all.

    Summary

    Jinshi is used to Maomao's antics - but today she took it a step too far.

    She put herself in serious danger, and Jinshi refuses to let her get away with it.

    Unfortunately, or fortunately, perhaps, he soon finds that it's a little difficult to punish someone who enjoys the punishment as much as she does.

    Summary

    He grabs the hem of her stockings, his fingers grazing against the bulging skin of her soft thigh. He could feel his shaft already harden at the light touch, and Riftan grits his teeth at the heat that pooled in his lower abdomen. By the time he was rolling down one of her socks, bunching it around her ankle and slipping it off her foot, he is already painfully throbbing against his trousers.

    Sensing his turmoil, Maxi smiles and brushes away the bangs that poked his eyes. His body tingled at the contact, and her lips part oh so sweetly.

    “Where do you belong, Riftan?”

    Riftan shudders at the question, uttered in a low and silky tone. Every one of his defenses, if he had any at all, immediately crumbled into fine sand. He couldn’t stop himself, feeling like a beaten dog, as he bent his head and pressed a devoted kiss against the pale arch of her foot.

    “A lowly knight like me… belongs at your feet.”

    Summary

    Her eyes were still on him, her shock still not waning. Despite having the same eyes as his late wife, he can’t help but think that this woman and his wife are two completely different people, not because of the color of their hair but because of the way this woman’s eyes looked radiant, far from the sullen look his wife had all those years ago. It had been a long time since he stared at those eyes that resembled a lake in the middle of winter; yet in his memory, the sadness in her eyes was as clear as day. He had been desperate to gauge the cause of the melancholy that seemed to take root behind her striking gray eyes. Ever since he was a boy, he had wanted to become the comfort she sought.
