    Summary

    Maomao wakes to a morning that is exactly as it should be.

    Her tools are in place. Her medicines are prepared. The poisons she plans to test have already been rendered harmless, saving her the trouble. The Rear Palace is orderly, silent, and obedient to her routine.

    𝙏𝙤𝙤 𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩.

    As the day unfolds, Maomao begins to notice the absences—servants who never arrive, footsteps that stop just beyond sight, doors that are always unlocked for her. Nothing is broken. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is missing.

    Until she realizes the truth.

    Every precaution has been taken. Every danger removed. Every choice quietly made for her—by someone 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.

    The palace is safe.
    𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩.
