What if Lakan had arrived in time to find Fengxian? What if Maomao had grown up alongside her mother and father within the palace? In an empire ruled by intrigue, power, and unbreakable hierarchies, a child is born who was never meant to exist at the very top. Maomao, daughter of the most feared strategist in the court, grows up surrounded by military treatises, vials of poison, and imperial secrets. Her sharp mind is her greatest weapon. Her greatest weakness-her empathy. But at the heart of the palace, where a single misstep can cost a life, even a child can become a legend... if she survives long enough. A story of strategy, politics, sacrifice, and decisions that leave scars. Because in this game, it is not enough to move the pieces-you must understand the board. A brilliant young woman fighting to protect what she loves without losing herself in the process. The empire is not ready for her... ______________________________________ Legal Notice and Rights Statement: This story is an alternative fanfiction based on the original work Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (薬屋のひとりごと), written by Natsu Hyūga and adapted across various media.

As a typical corporate employee struggling to find meaning, your monotonous life is turned upside down when you are sucked into a black hole and wake up in a different dimension-a surreal, futuristic version of Earth. Teetering on the edge of insanity after being trapped for days and thinking you were dreaming, you attempt to "wake up" by jumping off a cliff into the ocean, only to be forcefully pulled back by a feisty, purple-haired stranger. Your rescuer, an artist named Rafayel, mistakes you for a suicidal office worker and wonders why you seem so clueless about this world. Despite his suspicions, he decides to take you to his home for the night. In this strange place they call "Linkon City", you struggle to make sense of the world around you and figure out how to return home, all while keeping the secret of your origins and navigating a new, bizarre life as Rafayel's temporary housemate. Will you be able to find your way home? What happens when you start falling for your housemate, who seems to be hiding many secrets himself? And what happens when he unexpectedly awakens your long-buried dreams of being an artist like him?

He was loved and admired by all, especially by the girl who had been at his side since childhood. So how could you even attempt to get in between their bond? It was impossible. Or at least, you thought so. (Caleb x Y/n. MC (Emcee) is her own character.)
