『 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐍 𝐕𝐨𝐥. 𝟏𝟐 』
"The false-eunuch of nympth-like beauty never ceased to draw breathy sighs of entranced souls and haul genderless eyes to his form - not even a scar to his cheek had daunted them - but Maomao couldn’t help but repel the beauty and candor that have become his own condemnation."
or...
something goes wrong and Jinshi falls ill, and Maomao has a lot of time to do some introspection.

Unbeknownst to everyone but a few, Maomao and Jinshi take sure and steady steps in their blooming relationship.

"Written in dulled black ink was one name she recognized upon first glance: Verdigris House."
Upon learning that their recent enemy frequents Verdigris House, using it as a place for trades and employment, Maomao and Jinshi waste no time making plans and setting off to personally handle the perilous matter, keeping their destination a secret of few to fulfill both self-proclaimed missions: they were to operate undercover to flush out the rat hiding in the flowers beds without harming the brothel's hard-earned reputation.

"She had abandoned the aoqun that she wore as a court lady, attired in a simple elegant robe, rich but plain fabric making her little curves known and enriching her natural beauty. Face washed of the usual marks and meekly enlivened with colour, she carried the elegance of a woman of good family."
or, a collection of moments between Jinshi and Maomao, now betrothed and a few weeks from their wedding.

Jinshi has waited a long time, an eternity, if you'd ask him, to finally witness Maomao wrapped up in the red silk that would finally seal their formal, eternal union. And not to have a claim over her, but to experience a whole new level of intimacy with the woman he loves most. Soon, she would be his to hold, to kiss, to wake up to at sunrise and shower with gifts of questionable purpose. And him hers.
