    Summary

    No one knows about the golf bet between MI6’s Chief of Staff and its most infamous agent. And that’s exactly how they like it.
    Just two professionals enjoying a perfectly respectable game of golf.
    Nothing weird. Nothing suspicious.
    Except for the part where they are playing a round of strip golf.

    Summary

    Jinshi has been ordered by the Emperor to inspect the progress of the potatoes and other crops Lahan's brother helped set up in some of the more remote villages of the Eastern Province. There's a catch though... Apparently dreamed up by the Empress herself: He's to do so under the guise of a merchant traveling with his wife. And who better to play the part than a certain apothecary...

    Otherwise known as: everyone is tired of Jinshi and Maomao dancing around each other and conspire to get them to work things out already.

    Some slight spoilers up to LN14. It shouldn't be anything too dramatic, but if you want to make sure you're not spoiled for anything, definitely read the light novels first.

    ALSO: So far, if you want to skip really explicit scenes, the only chapter that has that is Chapter 5. I've made it fairly stand alone, so you can skip over it pretty easily if you want to avoid that kind of thing. I'll update here and at the beginning of any future chapters that have more explicit materials as well.

    Summary

    A collection of essays about our favorite buns. The chapters are not interconnected. A part of them is a continuation of the LN's scene, a part is a continuation of the canon. A brief description of the chapters and spoilers before each chapter. New stories can be added whenever inspiration strikes the author. Chapters 1 (Events take place after mid-Season 2 of the anime), 2-3 are continuations of the novel scenes, chapter 4 contains minor spoilers of the events of the novel, 5-7 are post-canon, all events are fictional.

    🔮 ✨ 🕯️

    Last updated: "Divination"
    (No spoilers. Events take place after mid-Season 2 of the anime).

    Midsummer in the Imperial Rear Palace is a time of heavy fragrances, the endless drone of cicadas, and... dangerous nonsense.

    While Maomao dreams of nothing more than the quiet sorting of medicinal herbs, her friends have become obsessed with late-night divinations. The skeptical apothecary is certain: any "magic" is merely physics, biology, or someone’s sheer clumsiness.

    Is fate truly nothing more than dry mathematics? And if the answer is already pre-determined by the number of petals - is it possible to change it?

    Summary

    "And here now is the problem. Maomao isn’t actually a very good liar."

    (Spoilers up to the end of LN 12!)

    In the bandit camp Maomao is questioned a little more incessantly on the topic of her supposed husband.

    "The best lies, in her experience, are always the ones closest to the truth. The ones that weave the threads of fact and fiction into one, uniform fabric, indistinguishable.
    There is only one person who has ever expressed real interest in her hand in marriage. Who has held her in his arms and kissed her. There can be no future for their relationship in truth,
    but just, says the little voice in the back of her head, imagine."

    In which Maomao has to improvise and talk some more about her "husband", Xiaohong grows stronger and is smarter than anyone gives her credit for, and Jinshi is only there by hearsay, until he finally has his Maomao back. Then he is, once again, so in love.

    Summary

    Jinshi is once again posing as Jinka the servant, this time to investigate some strange incidents in a mountainous region. It'd all be grand, if it wasn't for the fact that Maomao is there with him as well, posing as a lady, and at the inn they're staying, she quickly gained quite a few suitors...

    Summary

    After undergoing surgery, the Emperor is now in the post-operative period under Maomao's supervision. Jinshi came to the Emperor's room with a request. Mixed feelings filled his heart, especially with Aaduo also present. It was the same as their meeting before the day of the surgery.
