    Summary

    Jinshi's latest undercover Op is about to go horribly wrong and change the course of his, Maomao's and possibly Li's future.

    Maybe now Jinshi can get in on Maomao’s frequent kidnapping card and get to the bottom of… more things than he bargained for. Healing, heartache, and an unraveling of the muttled panoply of misunderstandings in palace and kingdom alike.

    Intermittent 🌶️🌶️🌶️ chapters MOSTLY Mature rating, E kicks in at Ch 62, but this one is WAY more plot and character driven than straight spice. AND I mark it off so you can skip those parts if you like.

    Summary

    Maomao woke with wet lashes and cold fingertips. The faintest trace of jujube still lingered in her throat.

    Outside, the house was silent.

    It could barley be called morning, but she'd sleep no more this night.

    Laba had arrived.

    Summary

    She reaches into the fold of her sleeve and presses her fingers to the small vial hidden there—her own blend, dried mugwort and yarrow, something Luomen had once sworn warded off grief. “Placebo,” she’d told him. “Powerful things,” he’d replied, with that wheezing smile.

    She closes her hand around it.

    Then she walks, one foot in front of the other, away from the only place in the world that had ever smelled like safety.

    She does not look back.

    There is no point.

    The wood is rotting. The roof leaks. And the apothecary—without Luomen—smells like mold and loose ends.

    Summary

    "It stays the same, and it hurts just as much with each passing thought." Maomao could feel his eyes on her as he spoke, but she wasn't going to meet his gaze.

    "But it doesn't get any harder either. You've been through the worst of it, eventually it will feel so familiar the pain will be an old friend. It'll be a testament to all the love you felt, and you might even find comfort in knowing it never changed. But you'll grow, and you'll find other things to love that won't take his place but will keep you busy. You'll grow, and the pain will stay the same, but with all you've changed it'll feel like the grief did to."

    Summary

    “You’re hallucinating,” she added- a diagnosis. “Classic. Sleep deprivation, grief, dehydration… you’ve really hit the trifecta.”

    He reached for her, fingers trembling.

    “Sleep; I’ll still be here when you wake,” she whispered.

    “You promise?”

    She smiled. Not smug, not sharp—just true, in that rare way he had only glimpsed once or twice, when she forgot to guard herself.

    “I promise.”

    He didn’t mean to close his eyes, he only meant to blink.

    But the weight of her words was like balm, and he finally let go.

    The last thing he felt was the press of her fingers brushing his hair back, the way she always did when he’d annoyed her. As if comforting him was just another form of scolding.

    His last thought was a thanks to his own mind, for granting him this poignant respite from the hellish world he's found himself in.

    Summary

    Edited August 9th 2025:
    The linens must have felt softer when her brain was seeping with exhaustion. That was Maomao’s first thought.

    She blinked, head pounding, and tasted blood at the back of her throat. The inside of her cheek was bitten open. Her arms were pinned before her. Her ankles were bound. A rag had been stuffed in her mouth, now half-dangling from her jaw. And only her sweat-scratchy nightwear covered her body.

    The air smelled of moss, urine, and stagnant water.

    She was not in her room anymore. She remembers the reward, leaving Jinshi alone on the other side of the door selfishly, just so she could have at least one more night of willful ignorance.

    “Oh,” she exhaled. She'd been taken.

    Summary

    "She's a whore!"

    He'd never appeared so loathsome before the emperor in all his years. "She's to be my wife-give her due respect. This is not up for debate or discussion, you said so yourself."

    "Due respect?" A heavy, disappointed sigh filled the room—Jinshi always did have a talent for making the emperor pinch the bridge of his noes. "If you truly think that lowly woman is fit to be wed into the imperial family then I, too, must call into question your sanity. Simply because she wet your virgin prick does not entitle her to yourself and our country for all eternity."

    "If loving her, devoting myself to her, cherishing her above all else is insanity then let them call me a mad—it's nothing you haven't said before."

    "So make her a consort, sure, and visit her each night—but a wife? To taint our empire so.."

    "I'd make her empress if that is what she desired."
