Warning: Spoilers for Jinshi's true identity ~~~ Luomiere is the adopted daughter of the master strategist, Lakan, and like every other member of the La clan, she's a little peculiar. Her brother views the world through numbers; her father perceives faces as Go stones; her little sister relishes in drinking poison, but Luomiere? She can read people like a book. An arranged marriage, a suspiciously nymph-like eunuch, and a brand new lady-in-waiting. What will Luomiere's story hold? ~~~ Started 2/16/24

A collection of short stories about Jinshi and Maomao with different topics: serious and funny, fluffy and angsty, missing scenes, songfics, and just random ideas.

All three parts of my Apothecary Diaries fanfiction I already published on ao3! First part: It was very late and the (once again) overworked Jinshi was finally heading to bed. But he would never have guessed what he would find on the way... Second part: Jinshi is carrying Maomao, who has fallen asleep in the hallway, to her room, while thinking about a few things concerning them both. Third part: A little story about Maomao finding Jinshi asleep at his desk one night.

Maomao was a woman who loved poison, but she didn't suspect that there was also a particular poison that Jinshi adored. A poison so sweet and delightful it could be considered a drug. And that poison was her. This text is inspired by the song "Addicted to you" by Avicii. Link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u6ZzvYXCH4&pp=ygUWYXZpY2lpIGFkZGljdGVkIHRvIHlvdQ%3D%3D The story is taking place after Maomao returns to work at the Jade Pavilion (starting with manga chapter 35/beginning of volume 3 of the LN, when the novel is making its rounds through the rear palace). (I don't own the cover, it's the cover of the 8th volume of the LN)
