Kidnapped, sold off, forced into the inner palace as a lowly servant, and then accidentally falling in love with a man she believed was only a beautiful noble-Maomao never expected her life to spiral into imperial legend. Especially not after discovering that Jinshi, the "younger brother of the Emperor," was actually the Emperor's secret son... and even more shockingly, that he wanted her. Between uncovering conspiracies, navigating court danger, and trying desperately to avoid attention, Maomao somehow ends up doing the one thing she truly never planned on: falling in love, having premarital sex, and getting pregnant with the future Star Prince. Marriage follows-chaotic, political, and heartfelt in its own strange way-and soon Maomao finds herself pulled into a life she never wanted: becoming the foundation of a new imperial branch family. But the palace isn't the only threat. Her biological father, Lakan, a genius strategist with unstable emotions, suddenly wants to reclaim her. Her cousin and adoptive brother, Lahan, cold and calculating, sees her children as political leverage. Maomao can't stand either of them-but they refuse to stay out of her life. As plots thicken, assassins resurface, and the White Lady faction rises again, Maomao and Jinshi must protect their fragile family while juggling politics, poison, and impossible expectations. And just when the dust settles and they finally adjust to raising their son... Maomao gets pregnant again. A second child, a second storm, and an even tighter web of schemes and danger. Through it all, the Moon Prince and his apothecary wife fight side-by-side-imperfect, stubborn, deeply in love, and determined to build a life worth protecting. Follow maomao and Jinshi's journey of parenthood and two and a half years later Maomao's second pregnancy.
