~ A Jinshi Fanfiction ~
In the Rear Palace, beauty is a currency and secrets are a weapon.
Ichika has neither - only the will to survive.
Dragged from her old life and forced into the service of the Emperor, she finds herself under the watchful eye of Jinshi - a man whose charm could melt the coldest heart... but not hers.
At least, not yet.
Between silken corridors and whispered rumors, the line between duty and desire begins to blur - and every glance carries the weight of something unspoken.

Lessons in Affection (BL)
Every kiss was meant for the empress... yet every kiss belonged to him. Emperor Wei-Yang carries a crown heavy with blood. Scarred by years on the battlefield, he cannot bring himself to touch the woman he married-the radiant empress who, denied her husband's affection, has gathered her own harem of devoted consorts. Among them is Xing Da: proud, sharp-tongued, and her most treasured companion. When Wei-Yang begs Xing Da to teach him what the empress desires-to show him how to be gentle, how to kiss, how to love-an uneasy bargain is struck. In secret chambers, lessons unfold under the guise of duty: the emperor practicing tenderness on the very man who despises him. Yet hatred melts into understanding, and duty is consumed by longing. Every kiss becomes harder to surrender, every stolen embrace a thread binding them tighter in a web of impossible desire. Both men remind themselves it is for the empress's sake-but the lie grows harder to believe. In a palace where loyalty is survival and love is treason, Wei-Yang and Xing Da find themselves caught in a tragedy of their own making. To love each other is to risk ruin. To let go is to shatter their hearts. As loyalties blur and desire burns, Wei-Yang and Xing Da must confront the truth: these lessons may ruin them both, yet neither can stop returning to the other.

And perhaps, to seduce the cold-hearted Emperor who holds both her fate-and his heart-in his hands.Complete

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.
