    Summary

However, when their marital relations inevitably "bear fruit", they'll have to navigate what it means to further the imperial line. Facing the inevitable changes and challenges will be difficult, but at least they'll be doing it together.

    It's going to be a long nine months.

    Summary

    “I’m the Emperor’s eldest son,” Jinshi blurts out when Maomao opens the door.

    He stands, half slouched against the frame of her door as if he might collapse. His ragged, hurried breaths make for the only sound in the dark hallway of her dorms, which remain blessedly silent in spite of the nightly disturbance. Maomao should have gone to bed a long time ago, but she lost track of time, leafing through one of the books she borrowed from the medical office.

    Would she have heard Jinshi knock on her door if she had?

    Her eyes scan over his dishevelled features and she blindly reaches for his wrist, pulling him inside. The muted thump of the door closing behind them sounds like an ominous warning about her allowing an unmarried man inside her chambers in the middle of the night.

    or:  Jinshi knocks on her door in the middle of the night with a discovery. Maomao lets him in.
     Set nebulously post LN15.

    Summary

    Through all of these discoveries, Kakyou concluded it was human nature to repeat the actions of those who came before you. The calculations proved it — she had pages upon pages dedicated to proving this theory of hers, which she called the “Chongdao Theorem.” It was statistically proven, at least according to her, that people were bound to act like their parents, their grandparents, or their ancestors, one way or another.


    Kakyou, a cowardly and frail young girl with aspirations of being a mathematician, develops a theory that predicts the similar behavior between parents and their children; the Chongdao Theorem. In her efforts to prove this theory, she's faced with mysteries and obstacles that helps her prove the Chongdao Theorem and decipher what she finds most difficult to understand; human nature.

    Summary

    Maomao crouched down in her garden, hands to the ground. The pain that shot through her abdomen made her fingers spasm, crushing the delicate herbs. Something was very wrong. The petite lady wasn’t one for panic, but as her analytical mind ran through the possible causes of her sudden ache, fear slowly settled in. This wasn’t like any pain she had experienced testing poisons; it was more akin to very bad days on her period. A pain one surely wasn’t supposed to experience when pregnant.

    Summary

    Who is he?—Jinshi. Jinka. Kousen. Ka Zuigetsu. Definitely not the future Emperor. Right?

    Who is she?—The apothecary. The food taster. The lady-in-waiting. The medical assistant. Definitely not the Princess of the La clan. Right?

    ***

    Jinshi has promised Maomao something—he would remove every obstacle to be together with her. He would become a commoner for her. But the more he tries to find a way to escape his fate, the more he seems to have a noose around his neck that threatens him to be trapped forever.

    Maomao has always been good in appearing unbothered and ignoring the obvious around her to keep her neck safe. But now she gradually has to learn that she cannot be ignorant anymore, especially when it comes to her own feelings and wishes.

    Summary

    “Am I supposed to be the Moon Prince's keeper?” She answers Basen. “Why aren’t you with the Moon Prince?”

    Which is by far the most logical question yet, being that Basen is Jinshi’s official bodyguard and has been so for several years now—not to mention his personal friend.

    He scolds down at her in his usual unpleasant way, but he does look slightly uncomfortable as he pulls on her sleeve to bring her closer.

    “He’s been chatting with Lady Mingxia for quite a long while now. I've been asked to, uh," he clears his throat, "leave them alone."

    Or: Jinshi has always been stupidly beautiful and excessively good at attracting problems, so Maomao really doesn't know what Basen expects her to do about itor the fact he has suddenly disappeared from an Imperial reception with the newly arrived and very pretty daughter of the Southern governor to mess around in the gardens.

    Summary

    Maomao was rather sick of Jinshi's sudden refusal to touch her, especially after his treating her like a sack of rice earlier in the day, in his attempts to touch her as little as possible least he be tempted.

    Thus Maomao planed to do exactly that. Tempt him.

    She knew too many tricks to simply let him think their options were all or nothing, after all. Maybe being tricked into the same carriage had some benefits.

    Summary

    The clock read 3:17 am-

    The baby's cries were thin and hiccupy now, the kind that indicated he was tired but refusing to give up.

    The now 3-month-old, Chenyu, had seemed to have picked up his mother's dark green forest hair along with her stubbornness, and his father's obsidian eyes along with his puppy-liky tactics.

    Jinshi bounced gently on his feet, one hand holding the tiny body to his chest, the other rubbing gentle circles on their back. 

    The kitchen was dark, except for the fridge light spilling pale blue across the floor, as Jinshi paced, rocking the baby in his arms- He whispered, voice soft and strained-" Shh... shh, sweetheart. I know. I know... it's okay..."

    Summary

    After Jinshi accidentally discovers the truth about his own identity, he ends up in an awkward position and decides that the safest thing to do is to push Maomao away. However, Maomao uses a method he never saw coming to stop him from distancing himself from her, and the consequence is that she becomes pregnant. By pure coincidence, Ah-duo also happens to be pregnant at the same time. Everything quickly turns into a mess.

    This fanfic can be read as a continuation of “Yuroneko” (https://archiveofourown.org/works/70374906 or on my profile), or as a stand-alone story. Because of the different age ratings, I split the content into two separate works. Spoiler and OOC warning.

    This is the sequel to “By Imperial Decree.” It will help if you have read that work first, but isn’t absolutely necessary.
