Summary
She didn’t know what it was that made him so earnestly interested in her. There was nothing special about her. Was there no better man or woman he could have laid his eyes upon? But at the same time, she allowed him leniency that she would not give another man. She had hid it beneath servitude to a prince occasionally, but the more Jinshi looked at her like a person his soul felt inexplicably connected to, the more she realized that she favoured him, too.
Even if she would not admit to it, even under torture. But still…
During their journey to the eastern capital, Jinshi and Maomao get closer than they ever have before, and understand a side of each other and their relationship they hadn't previously. And during the great scary ao3 shutdown of 2026, this silly author decided fic writing was a worthwhile distraction.
