Summary
Maomao had meticulously crafted a selection of aphrodisiacs for the illustrious Empress Gyokuyou, unaware that Jinshi would seize the opportunity to pilfer some while taking a leisurely stroll to soothe his troubled mind, driven to the brink by her antics. The door to her chamber was slightly ajar, which compelled him to enter, only to discover she had departed for a bath. Initially, he believed these concoctions to be innocuous, yet as evening fell, he found himself at her threshold, yearning for her presence, her caress.
As Maomao roused from her slumber, she found a pair of strong arms embracing her, a warm liquid oozing from between her legs, and the chaos of garments scattered haphazardly throughout the room. She vowed to make him pay for it. But could she really? She consented, after all. And all actions have consequences, yet even with a mind as intellectual as hers, love and lust blinded it.
But how could a mere handful of stimulants — intended for another — devoid of Maomao’s approval for intimacy — and Jinshi’s intoxicated state intertwine their destinies so profoundly?

Summary
He had always felt wrong growing up. Basen acted with emotions he didn’t understand or feel, ones adults tried to explain but never made sense. Perhaps it was why his desire for possession, his single minded obsession for what was his, was so strong. As if to compensate for those other feelings he lacked. Why when what was his was removed from him all that mattered was that he got it back or that it died so that no one else might steal it once more.
It didn’t make him stupid however, he knew a man like him had no place on a jade throne if that meant he had to hide away as some sparkly flirty eunuch to ensure his brothers heir so be it. The emotions were non stop and constant among his flowers but to Zuigetsu, well Jinshi now, the only thing he felt day in and out was disgust.
Until he saw her, a girl with same look in her eyes as him.
That cloying nothing that wracked his heart held a hold on hers too. Until it didn’t, until he had decided she was now his, something he would wait for her to mirror even if it meant dealing with the obstinate fools that thought her lesser.
He would make them all pay for every single slight, brushed shoulder, too long a gaze, and heaven forbid her tears too.

Summary
Maomao is given as a concubine to the Moon Prince in an attempt to control Lakan. Jinshi is against the idea of trapping a young woman in the rear palace for her father’s poor attitude and tries his best to accommodate her as both the palace manager and as the Moon Prince. But as time drags on, he falls in love with his odd concubine and his double life poses many issues.
Maomao never expected to be part of palace life and finds it rather difficult to adapt to. That being said, she loves the new access to overflowing ingredients the palace offers, especially the extremely rare ones the Moon Prince has taken to giving her as presents. If only the meddlesome eunuch would leave her alone, he’s making things far too complicated for her liking.
(Mostly follows canon, but with Maomao as the Imperial Brother’s concubine)

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."

Summary
Years prior, the Emperor of Li and the Grand Commandant came to an arrangement. By promising the La Princess to the Moon Prince, they hoped that they could protect their children and secure their futures.
Maomao is against this from the start, understanding that if she became the Moon Prince’s consort, a man whose real name and face is a mystery to her, then her life would go from mixing herbs to dodging assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Jinshi does his best to avoid her… even going as far as to hide his true identity as her betrothed; believing that she will be no different from countless others who sought only to use him. But after she arrives at the rear palace, he becomes fascinated with the indifferent, freckled girl, who may be the only one able to see past the masks he wears.
AU where Jinshi is forced to take Maomao as his consort—and future bride—against their will. To survive, the two begin to low-key rebel against a court of vipers in silk robes that’s trying to crown them and crush them in equal measure. Because here, royalty feels more like a prison.

Summary
*Formerly titled Moonlit Poppies*
As peace settles along Li's borders, the Great Commandant Lakan, head of the formidable La Clan, is called to return to the capital. Maomao, his only child and head Lady of the clan, returns to a home she barely remembers. Little excitement is expressed here, as much of the court considers her a scandalous illegitimate child born out of a tryst with a courtesan. Rumors swirl that she inherited the La Clan's signature strangeness, with whispers circulating about her unusual behaviors and interests amongst the haughty ladies. Though she tries to stay in the shadows and live quietly, she somehow still catches the gaze and interest of who matters most: the devilishly handsome and unmarried Crown Prince.
After that, her simple life grows a great deal more complicated.
