The main courtyard near the entrance is busy with the usual rustle of nervous new arrivals. Servants fresh from various parts of our land stand in a neat line, faces down, eyes wide. I stand beside one of the head eunuchs, arms folded as I look them over. I'm not here to greet them, I'm here to see them. To catch what others miss. Then I see her. Fifth from the left. Hair tied lazily. Lips chapped. And those eyes. Those vibrant blue eyes that are so much like my own. My little sister. Maomao. I don't breathe. I don't move. I simply look back at her, calm on the surface but on the inside my thoughts are racing as I experience every emotion all at once. As if she feels the heat of my stare her own eyes glide to mine and I can see recognition flicker in her expression for just a second before reverting back to her neutral expression. We say nothing. No movement. No obvious expressions. Just the quiet recognition of two sisters who haven't seen each other in years and are both too smart to show it. ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ─── Started: 06/18/2025 Ended: ??? ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ─── Rankings #1 - jinshixreader (06/28/2025) #1 - moonprince (07/05/2025) #2 - jinshixreader (06/27/2025) #2 - moonprince (06/27/2025) #2 - kusuriyanohitorigoto (06/29/2025) #2 - xyou (07/09/2025) #3 - eventualromance (07/10/2025) #3 - familyreunion (07/21/2025) ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ───

Being kidnapped on a random Tuesday was not something you had ever imagined happening to you or your best friend Maomao, but yet, here you are. Going from managing courtesans to concubines wasn't the biggest change you had to face. No, instead you're now found in the middle of some strange new politics, but is all fair in love and war?
