    Summary

    In an empire where wolf’s blood dictates everything, alphas rule with strength, betas serve, and omegas survive under their power. Bloodline is law and breaking it could cost your life.

    Maomao has been kidnapped and sold to the palace, where everyone believes she is just a common beta. But she hides an impossible secret: she is half wolf, half kitsune. Her lineage allows her to conceal her ears and tail, though her emotions sometimes betray her, revealing what she has worked so hard to keep hidden.

    Jinshi, a pure-blooded alpha and the empire’s future leader, recognizes her instantly as the owner of his red thread. From that moment, he cannot help but fall for her. But Maomao, with her instincts numbed by years of hunger and misery, feels only a strange tingling in her heart an attraction she mistakes for simple admiration of his beauty.

    Amid secrets, poisons, laughter, and dangers lurking around every corner, two destined souls meet in a game of power and desire. Will the red thread unite them, even when their worlds seem irreconcilable?

    Summary

    Fate, however, doesn't govern in accordance with civil law, and on occasion, it deals him a particularly cruel hand. One that can take even the most beautiful of words, the most amazing of declarations, and contort it into an ugly mockery of itself; something that makes his ears ring and his skin break into a cold sweat; causes his grip on the brush to slacken and his lungs to forget how to breathe:

    "Master Jinshi, I think I'm pregnant," Maomao says. Such simple, wonderful words, yet he already feels lightheaded picturing all the things that'll need to go right for this to not go horribly wrong.

    Summary

    Maomao is given as a concubine to the Moon Prince in an attempt to control Lakan. Jinshi is against the idea of trapping a young woman in the rear palace for her father’s poor attitude and tries his best to accommodate her as both the palace manager and as the Moon Prince. But as time drags on, he falls in love with his odd concubine and his double life poses many issues.

    Maomao never expected to be part of palace life and finds it rather difficult to adapt to. That being said, she loves the new access to overflowing ingredients the palace offers, especially the extremely rare ones the Moon Prince has taken to giving her as presents. If only the meddlesome eunuch would leave her alone, he’s making things far too complicated for her liking.

    (Mostly follows canon, but with Maomao as the Imperial Brother’s concubine)

    Summary

    Maomao has dealt with poisons, court conspiracies, and strange medical cases before, but she never expected to fall victim to something as ordinary as the flu. Determined to avoid infecting the Jade Pavilion, she attempts to seek medicine on her own...only to collapse before reaching the physician’s quarters.

    Unfortunately for her, Jinshi happens to find her first.

    What follows is a long night of far too much affection from a certain overly devoted eunuch who quickly realizes that seeing Maomao sick is far more terrifying than he would like to admit.
