    Book 1 - The Last Spring in the Palace

    The politics of the imperial court are a dangerous game, and Maomao knew it.

    To protect Jinshi from political traps, five years ago Maomao chose to give up her love for him and leave the palace, carrying within her the fruit of that love.

    However, the now newly graduated doctor Maomao sees the peace she had achieved away from the palace crumble when she is once again called upon to serve as an apothecary and now also as a doctor to the consorts Jinshi has taken in recent years.

    Amidst traps and political intrigues, Maomao does her best to stay out of Jinshi's sight and that of her rivals who see her as a potential threat, while trying to fight against the guarded feelings that are resurfacing with force and keep herself and her most precious possession out of the sight of the thorns that surround the palace.

    Summary

    In a world where soulmates are written in blood-red ink across your skin, John has always known one thing: someone out there is meant to love him.
    It’s the only thing that ever made the sterile labs, the cameras, the endless expectations bearable. The name over his heart—Lindsay—was proof he wasn’t made to be alone.

    Now, as Homelander, the most powerful man in the world, he’s done waiting. If fate won’t bring her to him, he’ll drag fate into the spotlight. Vought’s soulmate search should have been simple.
    It isn’t.

    Because instead of finding Lindsay, he finds her.
    Kat.

    Mouthy. Unimpressed. Completely immune to everything he is.

    She doesn’t worship him.
    Doesn’t fear him.
    Doesn’t even seem to like him.

    And somehow, that matters more than anything.
