    Summary

    When the Emperor passed away unexpectedly, Jinshi took the throne as regent until the next Emperor came of age, and cruel promises needed to be kept: Maomao would not be his wife. Released from her duties, Maomao returned to the Verdigris House as a courtesan.

    At the age of fifteen, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and Jinshi was freed from the role. He had never taken a consort, never a concubine. Rumors circulated of the former regent’s chastity. Even Maomao heard this, though she did not listen. She was a courtesan now. And yet, he visited her.

    Summary

    After saving Jinshi, Maomao assumed things would go back to normal. She would be his servant, performing various investigations at his request, and studying her medicine on the side.

    Instead she is stuck on a new trajectory that threatens the simple desires she loved in life. With Jinshi, she must hide her new identity in plain sight and aid the Rear palace by making sure no more Imperial heirs perish if she and Jinshi want to escape the chains of duty weighting them down.

    During this process she must learn to be a wife and mother without letting enemies know she is the Moon Prince’s wife.

    Summary

    "You’re my medicine."
    "Any medicine becomes poison in high doses."

    In the emperor’s harem, silence is deceptive, and every smile hides an intrigue. Maomao is just an herbalist, determined to stay in the shadows, but her path crosses with someone who should be untouchable. Jinshi, the emperor’s younger brother, is beautiful, dangerous, and obsessed with her. He can offer her everything, but Maomao wants only one thing—freedom.

    The deeper she gets entangled in his feelings, the harder it becomes to keep her composure. Love is a poison, and Jinshi seems willing to be poisoned. But what if that very poison becomes their downfall?

    A story of forbidden desires, political games, and dangerous love in a world where even the scent of herbs can be a weapon.

    Summary

    A fictional marriage - it sounds quite safe. At least, that's what Maomao thought. It's all simple: sign the agreement, nod at official receptions, and don't succumb to the charm of the Moon Prince. Easy, right? Maomao views this union as just another strange experiment of fate, while Jinshi sees it as another annoying duty. But what happens when the line between a game and the truth blurs? And even more difficult - when the heart stubbornly refuses to follow any logic...

    This work does not contain spoilers for the events of the novels, but the story uses characters not yet introduced in the anime. They may or may not correspond to their canonical personalities.

    Summary

    There was a long, endless minute during the second course in which Maomao froze where she stood behind Gyokuyou, a look of concentration on her face that quickly morphed into rapture. Jinshi felt his blood run cold.

    He had long yearned to see such a look on her face. With a bitter twist in his stomach, more biting than any poison, he thought: I didn't mean like this.

    Or, after Maomao is poisoned, Jinshi faces some difficult truths.

    Summary

    But it was … natural. As if the ceremony had peeled away the last barriers of propriety between the couple. By no stretch was it flawless, but it certainly was precious. Without the constant force of wanting what he couldn’t have, and without Maomao’s incessant ignorance to his affection, Jinshi found it very easy to tilt her chin up and finish a conversation they had started many years before. It turns out when she is compliant, Maomao responds rather enthusiastically - to his kiss, his embrace, his hoisting her like a sack of rice before he laid her out on their bed.

    or

    Jinshi finally gets his girl and he's sentimental after.

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

    Summary

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.

    Summary

    Jinshi's made his position on a number of matters quite clear; the throne, his marriage plans, his feelings for the fledgling doctor he once purchased from a brothel.

    Maomao's modus operandi is almost always to deflect, distract, and generally not acknowledge what he's saying, but let's indulge for a moment in the fantasy that sooner or later, she is going to have to talk about it.

    Summary

    “What are you thinking about, Miss Maomao?” Chue asks. Outside, Maomao hears Lihaku shift, probably so he can hear better. Maomao figures he’s probably got the same question as Chue.

    “Nothing,” Maomao replies.

    Chue hums, “That confirms it. Miss Maomao is thinking of the Moon Prince.”

    [Or: Maomao can't sleep, and there are no mysteries to entertain her. She is forced to think about her life's problems as a consequence. Jinmao. Oneshot. Set between LN 11 and 12.]
