    Summary

    “Each song is a pulse, don’t flatline” Crimson Theory is known for lyrics that flow like the blood in the veins and beats that can restart a pulse but frontman, Kuroo Tetsuro might get more than what he bargained for when he sings one song, one tiny little song written by an anonymous songwriter and it goes viral. Now if only he knew the song is about him.

    Summary

    Maomao was born the daughter of Fengxian and Lakan—one of the most respected (and feared) men in the empire. As a baby, she was promised to Prince Ka Zuigetsu in an arranged marriage between families. To the adults, it was a brilliant political move. To her, it was just a future she never chose.

    Growing up among gilded walls and silent rules, Maomao learned early to observe—and to resist.
    Jinshi, the young prince, was raised to rule. Surrounded by expectations, he always followed the path laid out… until he realized that Maomao had no intention of doing the same.

    She doesn’t like him. He doesn’t understand why.
    But the two are bound by a destiny that never stops tightening.

    Summary

    Management is not in Jinshi's job description as an ordinary agent at the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigation. But when his irritating commanding officer assigns him to monitor a brilliant, wily toxicologist who's been investigating cold cases in her spare time, he can't very well say no.

    Maomao is sick and tired of her father's insistence on finding reasons to meddle with her life, but if he's going to send her yet another stupidly gorgeous babysitter, she might as well make use of him. And soon, she's not too sorry to have the help - because her harmless personal project is about to get her in way over her security clearance, uncovering secrets at the very heart of the questions both Jinshi and Maomao have spent their lives too afraid to ask.

    (Or: The X-Files, but make it Jinmao.)

    Summary

    Maomao is an exhausted pharmacutical student just trying to survive her 8:30 a.m. Modern Lit class without committing murder. Jinshi is a suspiciously polished international policy major with perfect hair, suspiciously good handwriting, and no personal boundaries. They're partnered for a semester-long mystery literature project neither of them asked for.
    Between poisoned frat parties, unsolicited late-night phone calls, and one (1) shared annotated copy of the required class reading, they'll try to solve the case before midterms...without strangling each other first.

    Summary

    “I’d like an iced vanilla cappuccino please. But with far more milk than coffee.”

    Maomao blinks at him.

    “So you want a latte.”

    “What?”

    “A cappuccino is equal parts espresso and steamed milk. A latte is a little bit of coffee with a bunch of milk. You want a latte.”

    For the first time in this interaction, the customer frowns.

    “No,” he says, “I want a cappuccino. With extra milk.”

    Maomao’s eye begins to twitch.

    “No, you don’t.”

    “Yes I do!” The customer insists, pouting his lips.

    The man is attractive, no doubt, and this look would probably have most people of any gender swooning over him. But Maomao has been immune to such things for a long time now, and so she just looks at him again.

    For a moment, he seems surprised, like he really thought the pouting would work. He’s quick to change tactics though. “How about this,” he says, “You give me my cappuccino with extra milk, and I give you my number.”

    He says this triumphantly, like he’s certain he’s finally gotten through to her. Maomao is sure he expects her to blush, but instead, she laughs. Loudly.
    ~
    Maomao hates being a barista. A charming new customer makes her hate it even more.
