A sudden political decision forces Maomao, a clever palace apothecary, into marriage with the mysterious Jinshi. As rumors spread through the inner palace, strange poisonings and hidden conspiracies begin to surface. While solving dangerous mysteries together, their "political marriage" slowly becomes far more complicated than either of them expected.

After finally crossing that line in their relationship, Jinshi cannot get Maomao off his mind.

Jinshi x OC Previously titled "Folded in Silks" Izumi once served as the loyal head lady-in-waiting to Lady Fuyou, but her life takes an unexpected turn when her mistress leaves the rear palace. Before departing, Lady Fuyou entrusts Izumi with a final command: to prepare for the court lady exam and take her place. Bound by gratitude and duty, Izumi cannot refuse. Much to her dismay, her new post places her under the supervision of a charming yet infuriating eunuch named Jinshi, a man whose beauty hides more than one carefully guarded truth. As the two navigate the hidden intrigues of the inner palace, they find themselves entangled in unsolved mysteries, delicate politics, and secrets neither dares to reveal.

Disclaimers I do not own the characters; they are from The Apothecary diaries and belong to Natsu Hyūga. It may contain spoilers, but if you have caught up with season 2 of the anime, it should be fine enough. I'll put in details where I think my short stories happen during the anime or the light novel series. English isn't my native language, but I hope you'll enjoy reading them! The drawing of MaoMao and Jinshi used as the cover on Wattpad was especially designed for those short stories. I commissioned Bàrbara, @phadme on Instagram, for her to draw this cover.

What happens when an unassuming Maomao ends up at Vampire Jinshi's mansion? Namely, we get to see how an oblivious apothecary manages to catch the heart of a vampire. No vampires were harmed in the making of this. This is also on AO3 under the title Vampires Will Never Hurt You, where the chapters are longer.
