He was the serpent. Coiled in shadows. Poison in his veins. A name whispered in fear - Marco Costa, heir to a dead empire, and leader of something far more terrifying: The Vipers. She was the spark. Wild. Loud. Unapologetically reckless. Alana Salvatore - the mafia princess with oversized hoodies, candy-stained fingers, and a laugh that didn't belong in a world made of blood. Everyone expected her to choose the prince. The protector. The blade forged to shield her - Matteo Rivera. But she didn't. She chose the villain. The man with venomous promises and hands that both worship and destroy. He took her heart, her body, and gave her a crown of thorns in return. Now, she carries his heir - and her bloodline has been rewritten. This is not the story of rescue. This is the story of surrender. Of obsession. Of rebellion. Of a girl who fell for the devil and smiled while burning. In a world of kings and killers... She became the queen of the serpent. BOOK THREE OF SALVATORE SERIES.

This story is based after the end of season 2 of the anime Apocathery Diaries. I know that is a novel but I prefer to keep it based off the anime. Although the story is original all the images for the chapters do not belong to me. Hope you like it :)

When the radiant yet enigmatic Jinshi falls gravely ill, only one person dares speak plainly to him-Maomao, the court's eccentric apothecary. As she uncovers the severity of his condition, hidden truths and buried emotions rise with the fever. Between whispered confessions, forbidden feelings, and a relationship blooming in secret, Maomao must confront not only Jinshi's vulnerability, but her own guarded heart. A tale of soft romance, quiet intimacy, and love veiled in the silken shadows of the court.

In the palace, not everything is as orderly as it seems. MaoMao, a sharp and meticulous apothecary, and Jinshi, a calm and clever inspector, are paired with JingJing, who is dramatic, fearless, and occasionally reckless, to deal with the strange and unexpected. Together, they stumble through a world of mysterious powders, secret passages, and unusual rituals, never quite sure what's real, what's dangerous, or what's just JingJing's imagination. Between chasing leads, deciphering odd codes, and dodging chaos at every turn, MaoMao and Jinshi find themselves growing closer, their partnership quietly deepening into a tentative and unspoken affection, even as they face unpredictable adventures and constant mishaps. Full of humor, mischief, and small moments of connection, this story is about teamwork, curiosity, and how even the most unusual companions-and the most unlikely feelings-can blossom when the palace throws the unexpected your way.

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)
