   Summary

   Jinshi's latest undercover Op is about to go horribly wrong and change the course of his, Maomao's and possibly Li's future.

   Maybe now Jinshi can get in on Maomao’s frequent kidnapping card and get to the bottom of… more things than he bargained for. Healing, heartache, and an unraveling of the muttled panoply of misunderstandings in palace and kingdom alike.

   Intermittent 🌶️🌶️🌶️ chapters MOSTLY Mature rating, E kicks in at Ch 62, but this one is WAY more plot and character driven than straight spice. AND I mark it off so you can skip those parts if you like.
