Summary
"I thought a woman as curious as you would be eager to get rid of her virginity and get on experimenting." Joka continued, eyes piercing Maomao.
"Virginity is just a social construct, it's not real." Meimei said, but her words sounded lukewarm.
"Virginity is real as long as you have it." Pairin giggled. She got up from her chair and ruffled Maomao's hair, who batted her hand away.
Pairin moved closer to Joka, talking about which food they should order. As her sisters debated between mapo tofu and dan dan noodles, Maomao barely remembered to offer her opinion. In her mind, a plan was beginning to form.
Amidst a personal crisis and longing to shut her sisters up about her sex life, Maomao plans an experiment with a simple objective: losing her virginity and seeing what's all that fuss about sex. After careful consideration, she chooses an ideal partner: Jinshi, an acquaintance who happens to be the biggest known playboy in campus. Now, she only needs to pull off a simple, five-step plan to get him actually interested in her.
Unfortunately, it's easier said than done.

Summary
A way too serious series title for a silly, mostly fluff Maomao/Jinshi office AU. Maomao is a fiercely intelligent forensic accountant and Jinshi is her unwavering support (actually Chief Operating Officer - don't tell anyone!)

Summary
*Formerly titled Moonlit Poppies*
As peace settles along Li's borders, the Great Commandant Lakan, head of the formidable La Clan, is called to return to the capital. Maomao, his only child and head Lady of the clan, returns to a home she barely remembers. Little excitement is expressed here, as much of the court considers her a scandalous illegitimate child born out of a tryst with a courtesan. Rumors swirl that she inherited the La Clan's signature strangeness, with whispers circulating about her unusual behaviors and interests amongst the haughty ladies. Though she tries to stay in the shadows and live quietly, she somehow still catches the gaze and interest of who matters most: the devilishly handsome and unmarried Crown Prince.
After that, her simple life grows a great deal more complicated.

Summary
"Maomao, I'm telling you, I would know what bench it was, given we …"
She waited as he trailed off, waiting to see how he described the long-past memory. We kissed? We fought? We went our separate ways?
The moon briefly peered out from it's hiding place to illuminate the garden, showing the red flush coloring in Jinshi's face. It was Maomao's turn to roll her eyes at his bashfulness. Not only had significant time passed to soften the more embarrassing elements of that evening after the first visit to the Western Capital, but they'd been married now for over a decade. She'd had his children. He'd done far more salacious things to her by now. Yet, he still stuttered out a mortified sounding, "Well, you know…"
Maomao hummed noncommittal, leaning back on her palms and turning her face up to the sky. "Do I? Perhaps my memory is failing, as well."
Or, a married jinmao find themselves back upon a familiar bench on another visit West.

Summary
He honestly should know better. He's aware of her upbringing, such as it was, knows she learned her lessons well. She paints her face with dirt every day for a reason. It would be foolish to assume that painting her face is the only defense she has against violence and violation.

No human stupid enough to disturb her territory can be allowed to live – any man foolish enough to encroach on a demon’s land is an affront to all members of her species.

Summary
In the pleasure district, faint whispers spread of a courtesan.
They call her a cat immortal, a divine healer, a woman who solves any puzzle... If she deems you worth the effort.
Jinshi seeks her out in desperation.
He doesn’t expect the girl beneath the rumors and icy shell.
He certainly doesn’t expect to keep coming back.And Maomao doesn’t expect to feel anything at all.

Summary
“Come on then, Kusuriya,” he mumbled against her cheek before biting down. The title distracted her from the bite because there it was again, sounding less like her old profession and more like a nickname, like something intimate. She almost missed his next words. “You don’t want to administer half-effective treatment, do you?”
Or
Maomao and Jinshi have a moment alone in the chaos of the day before they leave the western capital. Maomao has an experiment to conduct. Jinshi just wants to be closer to her.

Summary
Maomao couldn’t see faces. She knew what they looked like; eyes, noses, mouths - but as a whole, she just… couldn’t comprehend them. They blurred together, got all muddled and made her eyes ache. Her papa couldn't either, so he visualized something else instead - board game pieces. That never worked for her though, her salvation coming in the form of a book from her great uncle: a nature encyclopedia. She started seeing flowers instead of faces.

Summary
“Maomao?” He presses, fingers closing over hers and lowering their joined hands to her lap, and she blinks in surprise at the use of her name. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Their technique is sloppy,” she answers honestly. “I feel strain on my heart. They should have targeted the nervous system instead.”
Master Jinshi stares at her like she’s spoken a foreign language he can’t even begin to try and understand. She tries to explain.
“Certain snake venoms cause coagulation of the blood, which could have been effective and made the blood unable to move through my veins, but if the end result is simply making my heart stop beating by targeting the muscles involv-”
“Maomao,” Master Jinshi says, very calmly, “I need you to stop speaking now.”
(an assassin tries to kill jinshi with a poisoned blade that gets maomao instead) (she is obviously much less concerned about this than everyone else)

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
Even the most sharp-eyed apothecary can miscalculate.
Maomao prided herself on logic, observation, and the ability to diagnose what others overlooked. She could detect poison from a single sip and identify illness from the faintest discoloration of skin. Yet when it came to her own body, she missed the most obvious truth of all. Our Maomao still has a lot to learn.
Luckily, not every mistake ends in tragedy.

Summary
An exploration of the butterfly effect. What might have been if Lakan had been in the series a little earlier? In which Maomao gets family therapy, Joka gets everything she's ever wanted, Jinshi gets a hell of a lot more than he bargained for, and Lakan and the Emperor get grandchildren. Not necessarily in that order.
