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
『 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
"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?

Summary
And then Maomao appeared. And peeled back his layers piece by piece, solely with her gaze.
Laid him bare in a way nobody else ever dared to.Did she even know what she did to him? He hoped she didn’t. Yet, he hoped she did.
But what he knew now, with iron certainty, was that he could not let her go. He couldn’t.Jinshi didn’t know how to love.
He had never gotten there. To keep the small number of people dearest to him near, he had had to fit himself into the mold they had held over his head. So he did. Was that for family or duty? He didn’t know.
But her… nobody had tried to take her away yet. Until today. And not the usual Gaoshun or Suiren either, but death itself had tried to claim her, heartbeats away from him.
Jinshi wanted to learn how to love without fear. Fear of loss. Fear of rejection. Fear of heartbreak, for both of them. Was such a love even possible? Did Maomao know? Would she share it with him?
Because amongst the blurry storm in his heart, one reality stood out crystal clear now, unable to be ignored any longer. Unwilling to be denied anymore.
He loved her.
