   Summary

   After saving Jinshi, Maomao assumed things would go back to normal. She would be his servant, performing various investigations at his request, and studying her medicine on the side.

   Instead she is stuck on a new trajectory that threatens the simple desires she loved in life. With Jinshi, she must hide her new identity in plain sight and aid the Rear palace by making sure no more Imperial heirs perish if she and Jinshi want to escape the chains of duty weighting them down.

   During this process she must learn to be a wife and mother without letting enemies know she is the Moon Prince’s wife.
