    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

    Summary

    Amidst the buzz of modern Beijing, Maomao and Jinshi are married, navigating careers, student loans, and a brand new, terrifyingly positive pregnancy test.

    Or they were.

    One freak accident later, Maomao has slipped through a crack in time. Now she's lost in a world without Wi-Fi, being "rescued" by a man who is certainly not a historical reenactor. A man who happens to be a regal, intimidating prince... who also happens to wear her husband's face.

    Summary

    “He can be his own man,” Maomao growled. “Without forsaking his family name.”

    Of all the reactions she expected, Maomao never imagined the fall of Jinshi’s beautiful face, and the disappointment her husband now leveled her with. “Why not? That’s precisely what I aimed to do once, to have you.”

    Maomao’s stomach twists. Once upon a time, her husband had been desperate for another life, one far away from his imperial responsibilities. He’d begged the emperor to let him go and give him a clan name, and the emperor had refused because he loved him too much to lose him. Jinshi, determined, had found another way to give them a life together, but it’s true that his royal title kept them tethered in many ways. Of course Jinshi would sympathize with Jin Xing, though Maomao’s certain their son hasn’t done this for something like falling in love, he’s far too pragmatic. Of course, there had been a time in Maomao’s younger days when she’d thought the same about herself.
