   Summary

   A tense, atmospheric Jinshi/Maomao AU with a twist.

   Maomao is trapped in the heart of a desert village; a harem of beautiful women ruled over by the Sultan: a man who mirrors Jinshi in power and possessiveness, yet differs from him in ways that force her to question everything she thinks she knows about him.

   As the tournament to claim her hand approaches, Lihaku, Basen, and Jinshi must fight not only for her freedom, but for the right moment; one that gives Maomao the chance to carry out a plan only she can see.
