    Summary

    Jinshi would never pretend that he knew how the heavens and the earth moved to get him here, in this exact moment, but he did know of a certain game of go which lead him to, eventually, stand on the steps of the most prominent brothel in the capital’s red light district. For business, of course.

    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.

    Summary

    Pairin gets in Maomao's head regarding why Jinshi bought out her contract from the Verdigris House. Miscommunication (and SMUT!) ensues!

    This is the alternate ending for Conjecture. Thank you to everyone who left kudos and such glowing comments. You inspired me to write the alternate ending!
    Chapters 1 and 2 of this work will be from Conjecture, altered to fit this new work and leave off where the alternate ending will begin, in case you are new here and do not care to read the first version, but I would highly recommend reading Conjecture for the more canon-friendly ending and context for where we started. This will deviate!
    While Conjecture is rated T for some mature themes, Conjoining is going to be rated E and is very inappropriate for underage eyes. You have been warned!

    If you are coming here from Conjecture, thank you! I am so glad you liked it enough to read more! You can ignore Chapters 1 and 2 if you want to avoid re-reading!
