    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!

    (It is not necessary to read part 1 to enjoy part 2, it's simply a scene set way further in the future.)

    Summary

    Not following by the order of light novels or anime; Non-canonical storyline and plot, but same setting.

    Maomao had meticulously crafted a selection of aphrodisiacs for the illustrious Empress Gyokuyou, unaware that Jinshi would seize the opportunity to pilfer some while taking a leisurely stroll to soothe his troubled mind, driven to the brink by her antics. The door to her chamber was slightly ajar, which compelled him to enter, only to discover she had departed for a bath. Initially, he believed these concoctions to be innocuous, yet as evening fell, he found himself at her threshold, yearning for her presence, her caress.

    As Maomao roused from her slumber, she found a pair of strong arms embracing her, a warm liquid oozing from between her legs, and the chaos of garments scattered haphazardly throughout the room. She vowed to make him pay for it. But could she really? She consented, after all. And all actions have consequences, yet even with a mind as intellectual as hers, love and lust blinded it.

    But how could a mere handful of stimulants — intended for another — devoid of Maomao’s approval for intimacy — and Jinshi’s intoxicated state intertwine their destinies so profoundly?

    Summary

    A fictional marriage - it sounds quite safe. At least, that's what Maomao thought. It's all simple: sign the agreement, nod at official receptions, and don't succumb to the charm of the Moon Prince. Easy, right? Maomao views this union as just another strange experiment of fate, while Jinshi sees it as another annoying duty. But what happens when the line between a game and the truth blurs? And even more difficult - when the heart stubbornly refuses to follow any logic...

    Summary

    The Shi Clan stronghold assault went off without a hitch. However, Jinshi didn't find the one person he cared about the most. He is now forced to deal with all the emotions that he tried to suppress for months while working with unlikely allies to find Maomao.

    a/n 9.18.25: Hello, I updated the tags thanks to some helpful advice from PaddleWaddle and MegaChive. I want to reiterate that plz don't stress about endgames too much. The tags are mostly to denote the amount of page space dedicated to exploration of different aspects. This work's primary objective is to write a story that includes characters that are underutilized in canon while not writing a story that is too similar to Natsu's progression. IMO the kind of Jinmao progression that we usually see is best left for Natsu to develop. I hope you can understand (bows deeply).

    Next chapter will be released on 1/9

    Summary

    LN 13 based

    It had been 3 days since they had returned home from their trip to the west. Jinshi had been anxious to see Maomao again since she had finally shared his feelings. However, he was advised not to call on her because she was probably working tirelessly to help make up for her and the other physicians' year-long absence. So when Jinshi heard from Chue that Maomao was working at the medical center near Jinshi’s residence. He took the opportunity to come up with an excuse to check in on Maomaos' well-being. If he got to sneak in a small charge, too, it would make him very happy.

    However, because of this Yao, En’en, and a few others accidentally realize the true status of Jinshi and Maomaos' relationship.

    Summary

    “Perhaps it isn’t fair of me to ask you to enter the same cage I was born to,” he pulled his head away from hers, looking down to her with a sadness that felt so much softer than it had the rest of this night, “but the thought of waiting on nothing but hope for the day I might be granted a name and the freedoms that come with it to instead ask you to be my wife, I…” He trailed off with a slight shaking of his head, not able to articulate the words. He cared for her deeply, he want her as his wife, she had known that for some time. But to such a degree he struggled for the words to describe the chance he would lose her to time and his obligation to the Emperor? Was she worth that.

    “None the less I will ask Maomao do you truly want to become my consort, the only one I will ever take, even if not tonight some night soon” the assertion shocked her, she didn’t know why, she knew that’s how he felt. She couldn’t help but look up from his chest to his face at the certainty he placed in those words. Even with the hesitation he had been riddled with since she first arrived tonight.

    Canon divergent at light novel 13, and Jinshi's summons.

    Summary

    A moment of danger changes everything. When Jinshi plunges down the waterfall with Maomao at the very last second, their only option is to retreat into a forgotten cave for shelter. The way back is submerged-unreachable for someone who cannot swim. In the tight confines of this hideaway, what has long been hidden comes to light. A secret, buried for years, is revealed-and throws Maomao off balance. Between falling drops and silence, between breaths and unspoken longing, something unfolds that neither of them planned-something that reaches far beyond this single day.
