Summary
In a small coffee shop run by 5 employees on the very outskirts of the city centre, a gorgeous regular customer has made himself known to them all for being deeply infatuated with one such employee, driving even to the edge of the city during his breaks to see her for a moment. Unsure why Maomao won't accept just one date or shut him down instantly as she usually would with anyone else, it became a mission to two of them in particular to see the pair talk more, at first just to see what happened. But now, they know its a match made in heaven - so why won't Maomao see that too?
Or, does she after all?

!! Spoilers for light novel 12
- - -Before him, just as it had been the day prior, was an empty room decorated only with two chairs, a bedside table, and an occupied bed.
A rustle of sheets snapped him out of his stupor.
"Do my eyes deceive me, or has my husband come to visit the one and only Miss Chue?"
Just as any other time, her flare for dramatics hadn't dulled even as she lay propped upon pillows, her head barely able to turn and glance in his direction. Even from a distance, the purple bruising bloomed vividly against her skin.

Summary
Nine months into Jinshi and Maomao's relationship, Christmas arrives, bringing a festive mood and cold weather. But before they can truly celebrate, they need to solve lingering issues they'd separately carried for too many years. Maybe this year, they could put an end to those thoughts that dampened their moods. Maybe, they could help each other find their way through to the other side, too.
Or!

Summary
Celebrity Maomao and normal guy Jinshi modern AU!
Initially created for a prompt week, but I have to admit I really love writing this role reversal Maomao and Jinshi where I try to exaggerate traits of theirs from canon that are usually hidden behind masks or silence due to their roles. So this may be extended every now and then when I feel like returning to them. A brief warning that due to the nature of the situations I've put them in, they aren't entirely in character, but I don't think I've made them *too* out of character for it to be considered OOC entirely. Maomao is just comfortable enough to speak her mind, and Jinshi's self worth issues are multiplied drastically.
These will probably make sense out of order, as long as you're aware of the general setting, but I wouldn't recommend it hugely!

Summary
After a tragic accident claims the life of her mentor and father, Maomao breaks. No longer content with herbs and poisons, she discards her identity to pursue the brutal, forbidden art of surgery.
Now disguised as "Lao," a prodigy surgeon for the La family on the frozen front lines, she must navigate a world of iron and blood. But her survival depends on a precarious lie: she must remain invisible to the General who claims her as kin, all while resisting the intuitive, dangerous protection of Commander Jinshi—a man who is becoming far too interested in the surgeon who refuses to be seen.
In a war of steel, the most dangerous weapon is the truth.

Summary
Jinshi, an Auto Memory Doll, is sent by his postal company to work for a time at the most famous Observatory in the country.
There, he will have an encounter that will change his life forever.
Who knows—perhaps that meeting was written in the stars…?
This story is inspired by episode 6 of the anime Violet Evergarden, but it is not necessary to have seen the episode to understand the fanfiction.
Enjoy the reading—that is what matters most!
