『 Sequel of "Dancing with our Hands Tied" 』
°*°
A year has passed since Jinshi’s narrow brush with death, and neither he nor Maomao has forgotten the encounter with that odorless, tasteless poison, nor the many misadventures they’ve faced so far. Just when they think it’s over, a familiar thread resurfaces, pulling them far from the Capital once again— straight to the Western Province, for the third time.
As they journey to Gyokuyou’s homeland, events begin to unfold around them and within their circle. But which happenings are mere coincidence, and which are inevitable?
They’ll have to find out the hard way.Series

Summary
“That's not how it went.” Maomao said, unwrapping her hands from their rightful place behind his neck.
“No, but isn't this better?” Trying to steer his mind away from the weird moment of clarity he seemed to be having, Jinshi ran his right index finger down the middle of her back.
She shuddered deliciously, but regained her composure and glared at him. It sent shivers down his spine.
“I don't usually have fantastical dreams.” She murmured, leaning away from him but not leaving his lap. “Much less lucid ones.”
“Well, probably because it's supposed to be my dream.” He grumbled, put out that his pleasant wet dream was going down the drain.
Due to a strange pair of incense burners, Jinshi and Maomao meet inside of shared dreams. It takes them a while to realize that.

Summary
"What have you heard, my lady?"
"All sorts of things," Gyokuyou starts. "Our cat has had some interesting patients as of late. Princes, in particular."
Jinshi clenches his fists and presses them to his forehead. "An unfortunate happenstance, I've heard. I don't believe she realized who she was aiding."
"You're right, I don't think she did! She seems unwitting by the hearts she's laid to waste in recent days. Nor the workload she's no doubt rained down on your office. How similar you two are," she teases. "The Emperor informed me of the trade dispute. It is regrettable that this should be what forces us together, but there is no better time than the present. There are words to be had—words that should have been said sooner."
When he does not answer, she adds, "There was a night that you made a shocking and forward declaration. That was nearly two years ago now."
Jinshi understands the underlying question: why have you not married Maomao yet?

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—Zui 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 mean you must surrender yourself and our country to her for all eternity."
"If loving her, devoting myself to her, cherishing her above all else is insanity then let them call me a mad—you call me mad—I will be the maddest of them all."
"So make her a consort, sure, and visit her each night—but a wife?"
"I'd make her empress if that's what she desired."

Kinktober 2025 Day 2 - Coming Untouched
“Or do you not want to?” She said teasingly. A smile played at the corner of her lips to taunt him, a smile a bit more forced than she would like to admit. She felt it was a fair jab. How else are you supposed to feel when a man carries you to his bed only to send you away, and dodge any and all attempts at contact for weeks?
“No! I… it’s not that.” he sighed, “It’s logistics. The risk is just too great.”
“And I told you, I’m an apothecary–”
“It’s not just pregnancy. It’s my standing, it’s the impropriety. We can’t–”
“We already have.” She shot back. “And I mean what was beyond us making out.”

Summary
Now, as Basen rode along on his horse, he looked at the side of the road, where a small blue flower was blooming. He had always thought of flowers as things to be cherished and loved, but he saw now that they grew on their own, with or without anyone to dote upon them.
After everything that happened with Sotei, Lishu was to live as a nun again. The temple they sent her to this time, however, was quite different from her old one. Lishu has no idea how she'll manage to raise ducks, but she has no other choice— does she?
