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.

The Lily of the Valley ❦Apothecary diaries❦
Yukihime grew up deep in the Red-Light District, side by side with Maomao-her sister not by blood, but by bond. Together they studied medicine, survived alley brawls, and found kinship among the courtesans of the Verdigris House. But when Maomao is kidnapped and taken into the depths of the Imperial Rear Palace, Yukihime makes a decision no one expects. Even if it means disguising herself as a man. Even if it means entering a world built for eunuchs and emperors. Even if it means catching the eye of a certain enigmatic, sharp-eyed eunch named Jinshi... Between delicate poisons, political games, and stolen glances, Yukihime must tread carefully. Because the Rear Palace is a place where beauty kills, silence saves, and love-if it dares to bloom-could cost everything. Author's Note: ❦ All characters (besides Yukihime) belong to Natsu Hyūga ❦Feel free to point out anywhere it can be improved. ❦If you like the story pls comment and vote! Enjoy!♥

The Stars Shine for You (2026)
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.
