    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

    Jinshi and Maomao have been deepening their relationship, and he has stopped Maomao from touching any of his skin below his hip and she has decided it was simply nerves and inexperience, what else could it be?

    Pushing a boundary of his she shouldn't have, she ended up learning they were a little more alike than she had previously thought.

    That they both sought control even at their own expense at time.

    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.

    Summary

    La Princess Maomao is still unwed, having never even entertained the idea of an engagement and at 19 even her doting father is beginning to press more forcefully. So she, the cunning fox daughter of two tacticians, issues a simple challenge a game a go, in which the loser will drink a cup of poison, whether it kills you who's to say?

    The 21 year old crown prince, Ka Zuigetsu, had to become cunning, what other choice was there in court, after all his only true skill is his charm. He would love to be known for more but it simply not in the cards, and is part of why he is yet to take a consort or wife, for he knows the only thing they would care for is his beauty. So when his brother forces him to attend the matchmaking event of Lakan's daughter he thinks she will be much the same but she is known to be cold and calculating so when she gives her challenge he is shocked but honestly finds it refreshing, and just maybe a chance to show off more than his face.

    A match of Go quickly becomes a game of wits, as they play each other as much as the game itself.

    Summary

    He had always felt wrong growing up. Basen acted with emotions he didn’t understand or feel, ones adults tried to explain but never made sense. Perhaps it was why his desire for possession, his single minded obsession for what was his, was so strong. As if to compensate for those other feelings he lacked. Why when what was his was removed from him all that mattered was that he got it back or that it died so that no one else might steal it once more.

    It didn’t make him stupid however, he knew a man like him had no place on a jade throne if that meant he had to hide away as some sparkly flirty eunuch to ensure his brothers heir so be it. The emotions were non stop and constant among his flowers but to Zuigetsu, well Jinshi now, the only thing he felt day in and out was disgust.

    Until he saw her, a girl with same look in her eyes as him.

    That cloying nothing that wracked his heart held a hold on hers too. Until it didn’t, until he had decided she was now his, something he would wait for her to mirror even if it meant dealing with the obstinate fools that thought her lesser.

    He would make them all pay for every single slight, brushed shoulder, too long a gaze, and heaven forbid her tears too.

    Summary

    Jinshi is terribly aware most people don’t love the way he does - case in point, he’s picked a single wood-sorrel when he could’ve had a blossom of every variety if he so chose. While he of course feels some male pride seeing Maomao pregnant and knowing he did that, more than anything he feels a deep love and curiosity for the child, and immeasurable appreciation for his wife. It's fascinating to know they created something that didn’t exist, and now they would be responsible for guiding it through the world. He would be a father.

    So what was a good father?

    Or, Jinshi's on the cusp of fatherhood, and then he's just plain in it. Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps spinning.

    Summary

    Years prior, the Emperor of Li and the Grand Commandant came to an arrangement. By promising the La Princess to the Moon Prince, they hoped that they could protect their children and secure their futures.

    Maomao is against this from the start, understanding that if she became the Moon Prince’s consort, a man whose real name and face is a mystery to her, then her life would go from mixing herbs to dodging assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Jinshi does his best to avoid her… even going as far as to hide his true identity as her betrothed; believing that she will be no different from countless others who sought only to use him. But after she arrives at the rear palace, he becomes fascinated with the indifferent, freckled girl, who may be the only one able to see past the masks he wears.

    AU where Jinshi is forced to take Maomao as his consort—and future bride—against their will. To survive, the two begin to low-key rebel against a court of vipers in silk robes that’s trying to crown them and crush them in equal measure. Because here, royalty feels more like a prison.

    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

    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.

    As her fathers heir Maomao is no stranger to occupying a uniquely powerful political position, especially for a woman. To the people of Li she is something, someone, to be feared. A view that is only reaffirmed when she finds her already elevated position brought even higher through an unconventional betrothal to the Crown Prince. No matter the rumors swirling about her, her true intentions are as unknown to her husband as they are to anyone else.

    With a political storm of circumstance swirling around them, will their marriage bring them and the nation prosperity or ruin?

    Summary

    “Your face is flushed,” Maomao informs him, as if he couldn't feel his own rising temperature. Her hand slips down to press against his cheek – a killing blow. Jinshi hears himself make a pathetic noise.

    Maomao’s eyes flick up to meet his. Slowly, she lifts a brow. He can’t even say anything in his own defence, just slumps in defeat, as she glances down at his lap and then sighs.

    Jinshi is distracted for days after the aphrodisiac incident. Gaoshun ‘helps’ by siccing Maomao on him. He is probably not expecting what happens next. (Or at least, refusing to think too much about it.)

    "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."

    Life as a first-year pre-med student is hard for Maomao Kan: learn everything necessary, get top marks, keep your head down and don't get involved in drama, avoid getting entangled with the stupidly pretty political science guy in her ethics class, and scrape up whatever hours possible at Verdigris House, the family-run business her older sisters dominate.

    Tangled up and twisted with frustration when she shows up for a shift one afternoon, Maomao's older sisters Pairin and Joka hand her one of the new toys sent for review and a firm admonition to get home and take care of herself.

    Summary

    Jinshi has always sparkled for others, but Maomao has never been mesmerized by it. It was just another thing she was immune to. Now here he was, not particularly sparkly, just obviously in love, and Maomao felt what she could only describe as being enraptured.

    Maomao knew she needed to say thank you, but at this moment she did not trust her tongue with words. She was afraid something rather mushy would come to her if she tried to speak, and she wasn’t ready for that yet. Which felt silly to acknowledge - that she had married this man, but was struggling to love him.

    And it was not loving him - Maomao had deduced this now. It had almost nothing to do with Jinshi at all. Her constipation with regards to her own ability to love had nothing to do with her commitment to him, either. She cared for and admired him deeply, more than she had anyone else, except maybe Loumen. Maomao hopes someday she is able to admit that to him, but she is still accepting that it is even safe to admit to herself.

    or

    they say the first year of marriage is the hardest - this is Maomao's.
