    Summary

    The Emperor had told his younger brother, the Moon Prince (who spends his days in the rear palace as its manager, posing as a eunuch by the name of “Jinshi”) that he had the freedom to choose any of the low-ranking consorts, or any others that were of lower rank.

    He’s not interested. He only wishes that the Emperor would produce another heir to replace him.

    But, when he crosses paths with high-ranking consort, the La Clan Princess, Lady Maomao, his heart begins to beat with life and his carefully crafted mask slips.

    And she, raised by her controlling, power hungry mother and blinded by love father, is sent into a tailspin.

    Duty and desire collide, and a forbidden love is born as the world falls into chaos around them.

    Note/Update 12/12/2025: Chapter 1 can be read as a one-shot but, if you’d like to dive a little deeper into this world, additional chapters will be incoming (updates may be slow). <3

    Summary

    Maomao and Jinshi had done their best to stick to chaste touches, to avoid anything physical that could lead to a pregnancy—except for that one night, a little less than nine months ago. And all it took was one time.

    Summary

    Maomao is on her way back to the palace after visiting her adoptive father for some medicinal herbs for the medical office.
    With the hour growing late, she decides to take a shortcut through a dark alleyway—a decision she will forever deeply regret.
    ----------------------
    How will Maomao deal with the brutal aftermath? Will she break her silence and ask for help, or will she rely on her own clinical pragmatism to survive it alone?
    And how will Jinshi react when he finally realizes what is wrong, and that he might already be too late?

    Summary

    When Maomao finds herself on the auction block at a charity gala, she’s not worried, because she has an exit strategy: let a friend bid on her and then go back to her regularly scheduled programming. Unfortunately, her strategy doesn’t account for Jinshi outbidding everyone to take her on a date instead.

    Modern JinMao, alternating POV.

    Summary

    Maomao couldn’t see faces. She knew what they looked like; eyes, noses, mouths - but as a whole, she just… couldn’t comprehend them. They blurred together, got all muddled and made her eyes ache. Her papa couldn't either, so he visualized something else instead - board game pieces. That never worked for her though, her salvation coming in the form of a book from her great uncle: a nature encyclopedia. She started seeing flowers instead of faces.
