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
“Are you sending me away?” Maomao interrupts, glaring, unable to stand that look on his face. “Why?”
“Sir Luomen studied far in the west, a long time ago. Wouldn’t you like to have that experience?” he says, still wearing that unbearable affable smile. He can’t fake it in the eyes, though, not to her.
or, Jinshi tries to push Maomao away, she doesn't like it.

When Maomao discovers a fox spirit haunting a forest shrine, she argues with him over stolen ginseng.
Jinshi, ancient and dangerously bored, has never met a human who refuses to fear him - or pay him - and certainly not one who refuses to kiss him.

What comes after a lifetime, when one of them has centuries left?***

Summary
“I’m the Emperor’s eldest son,” Jinshi blurts out when Maomao opens the door.
He stands, half slouched against the frame of her door as if he might collapse. His ragged, hurried breaths make for the only sound in the dark hallway of her dorms, which remain blessedly silent in spite of the nightly disturbance. Maomao should have gone to bed a long time ago, but she lost track of time, leafing through one of the books she borrowed from the medical office.
Would she have heard Jinshi knock on her door if she had?
Her eyes scan over his dishevelled features and she blindly reaches for his wrist, pulling him inside. The muted thump of the door closing behind them sounds like an ominous warning about her allowing an unmarried man inside her chambers in the middle of the night.
or: Jinshi knocks on her door in the middle of the night with a discovery. Maomao lets him in.

Summary
An unexpected boon of taking this winding, backroad path, was the silence.
It was as though she’d stepped into an alien world devoid of all signs of civilization. Her footsteps echoed throughout the trees every time she crunched on a twig, the slightest brush of her boots on rocks and firm earth sending sound bouncing wildly between the trunks. The clinking and swaying of her supplies on her back made her a beacon of idle noise, and the resulting rustles of startled animals racing through the brush were always loud enough to make her flinch.
She was the only living person around for miles, both ahead and behind. It was just her, the birds, the bugs, and the crunch of dirt beneath her heels.
The infected, by nature of their desperate, sickened state, were quite noisy. As such, it would be immensely difficult to catch her by surprise in this kind of environment.
This was how Maomao knew she was being followed.
—————————
Or, while wandering the ruins of a nation overrun with zombifying parasites, Maomao gets herself a weirdly benign stalker. Somehow, this doesn’t end badly.

Summary
“Oh my god, you’re Maomao!”
“Yes, I did just say that.”
“No, no,” Angel Man is tripping over his words, he’s so excited now, “Maomao, it’s me, Jinshi.”
Maomao just blinks at him.
“Who?”
He scoffs. “What do you mean, who? How could you have forgotten your favorite neighbor?”
Favorite neighbor?
Why does that phrase sound familiar? She scans his face, taking in the regal nose, the purple hair, the sharp chin.
Suddenly, unbittingly, the image of a smiling little boy peeking out from between a bunch of sunflowers comes to her mind.
Favorite neighbor….
“Oh!”
She remembers now. Of course she remembers. She remembers everyone who leaves.

Maomao saves a man from getting hit by a truck. It just so happens that this man is an important figure from her past. One she'd tried to forget, but never could. She hates her fucking life.Series

Summary
“I didn’t mean to. It was just an experiment gone wrong.”
“No,” Joka almost roared, “This is the last time.”
“What do you mean?” Her eyes snapped back to her sister’s furious ones, “I’m a scientist, Joka. This is how I make my money.”
“If you don’t end up killing yourself,” Joka fumed, “You’re going to end up in prison. You’re lucky the paramedics didn’t ask any questions about what they saw in your apartment. But you might not be so lucky next time.”
-
It all started as an experiment gone wrong, but instead of making a scientific breakthrough, Maomao is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. There she meets a host of characters who definitely belong there (but not her) including a very beautiful man who seems to think he's stuck in a Chinese historical drama.Bookmarked by apr1cot

Summary
Jinshi's latest undercover Op is about to go horribly wrong and change the course of his, Maomao's and possibly Li's future.
Maybe now Jinshi can get in on Maomao’s frequent kidnapping card and get to the bottom of… more things than he bargained for. Healing, heartache, and an unraveling of the muttled panoply of misunderstandings in palace and kingdom alike.
Intermittent 🌶️🌶️🌶️ chapters MOSTLY Mature rating, E kicks in at Ch 62, but this one is WAY more plot and character driven than straight spice. AND I mark it off so you can skip those parts if you like.

Summary
The imperial dragons are a close-kept secret. Only a select few know of the mythical blood that flows through the royal family’s lineage, and even fewer know of the power it grants them in times of need.
When Jinshi finds himself almost assassinated, he is forced to call on such power— but it leaves him delirious, bleeding, and terrifyingly vulnerable. So he flees to the one person he knows he can trust with his life more than anyone.
Maomao, meanwhile, catches a weird snake outside her house.
Edit: Now with art!
