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

Summary
When he was the Moon Prince, he would have done anything to ensure Lady Gyokuyou became the next Empress of Li. She was the kind of beauty that would bring entire empires to their knees. She possessed the wit and elegance of a ruler, and a caring smile that could melt hearts of stone. There was little wonder why she was said to be the late-Emperor’s favorite despite never bearing him a son.
In which the Precious Consort returns to the rear palace and Lady Maomao doesn’t quite understand why the Emperor insists on wasting so much time with a sprig of hemlock when his garden now contains a perfectly cultivated rose.

Summary
“I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.
“Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”
Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.
