Summary
In a different world, Crown Prince Ka Zuigetsu might have been known as the Imperial Younger Brother, disguising himself as the eunuch Jinshi to avoid the brutal fight for the throne and to give his nephew Ziheng more siblings. But here, he wears the same disguise to protect his half-siblings and ensure their safe passage into adulthood.
In a different world, Kan Maomao would have been the adopted daughter of the disgraced former physician Luomen, shunning her noble lineage to live out her days as a lowly apothecary in a pleasure district. But here she was, Young Lady Kan Lanmao, the beloved daughter of Kan Lakan, disciple to Master Physician Kan, and Wood sorrel of the Verdigris house.
When a new position in the court brings the two together, Maomao resists the urge to bodily harm the irritatingly flirtatious eunuch manager of the Rear Palace while also avoiding her father and the emperor's hawklike gazes. How long can Maomao and Jinshi resist each other while evading their fathers? How long can Jinshi hide his double identity from the one person who can right through to his soul?Note: All characters, excluding OCs are the intellectual property of Hyuuga Natsu
