Summary
”Say, Maomao,” Jinshi asked, right as she took a large bite of her dumpling that left her mouth full. Typical timing. “How would you feel about getting a cat?”
”Another one?” Chue quipped, and Maomao watched as Jinshi smirked and swiped jokingly towards her face from the other side of the table.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
“Another one? Have you been secretly raising a cat?” Maomao’s mouth was still full, and her speech was muffled by the food, but the question flew out of her mouth before she could stop it. No one took offence to her poor manners, though. No, instead, all four of them laughed off her question far too easily. Or rather, three of them. Basen looked equally as confused.
Or!
Maomao begins an investigation to secretly lure out Jinshi's supposed hidden cat.

Summary
After hearing of his brother’s sudden passing and subsequently the demand for him, the only feasible heir as of the moment, to take the throne in his stead, Maomao had been the first person he had called upon. It was far into the late hours of the night - early morning, even - by the time he had been freed from council discussions regarding his status change. As soon as the summon had been sent out, the apothecary had come with little complaint.
Jinshi couldn’t read the expression on Maomao’s face as he had relayed the information of the Emperor’s untimely death, and frankly, his own tone had been equally as unreadable. That was, up until the moment he voiced that he had to let go of her.
…
”I see. Then, I won’t let my presence interrupt a moment longer. I wish you a good evening, your Majesty.”Or!
The aftermath of a too-swift break up, nine years later.

Summary
It started with a crash; a loud bang against the wooden door followed by thudding, heavy footsteps, and the ambience of the outside downpour becoming a little deafening in the silent apothecary shop. Her eyes shot up in alarm, ready to run, pounce, or freeze, before the overpowering stench of blood - too much blood - hit her, alongside a very familiar face.
”Master Jinshi?”
The man in question took a far too haggard breath, before wincing a smile and a bitter laugh: “It’s been a while. Hungry?”

Summary
Jinshi had, of course, heard much about the recent new star brought to the stage - Maomao. From his job in a tea room, he enjoyed listening to interviews and such featuring her as he served customers. As part of his career in film writing, of course! What he didn't expect was for her to one day walk in to order herself a tea and some cake, nor did he expect to cross paths with the young woman past that.
Or!
5 times Jinshi accidentally ran into Maomao + 1 time she sought him out.

Queen of Swords, King of Cups by nAkAnosAkAue802
Fandoms: 薬屋のひとりごと | Kusuriya no Hitorigoto | The Apothecary Diaries (Anime)
28 Sep 2025

Summary
The Queen of Swords: intellect, truth, independence. Sharp-witted, clear-thinking, objectively honest and logical. La Maomao, newly crowned princess of the royal court.
The King of Cups: compassion, balance, grace. Emotionally intact, experienced wisdom, harmonious and understanding. Ka Zuigetsu, the emperor’s only living son.
With unrest among the kingdom and the defecting Shi Clan, a marriage is arranged between the La Clan’s daughter Maomao and the crown prince, who is often referred to as Jinshi in the Inner Palace. Ripped away from her peaceful life in the countryside with her Great Uncle, Maomao quickly discovers the life of a royal is more than she bargained for: scandals, murder, and betrayal haunt the Inner Palace halls, and leaves her entangled in a series of incidents that threaten her very life.

Summary
“May your darling Miss Chue make one request of her beloved husband, then?” Chue chirped.
Baryou blinked. He ought not be surprised by her anymore, he mused. “What is it?”
His wife opened her mouth to speak, but the growl of her stomach interrupted her, and a sly grin made its way onto her lips. “You see,” she drawled, “Miss Chue is very hungry…”
Yes, and so Baryou thought. Yes, I do love her. So very much.
-----
5 times Chue tells Baryou she loves him, and 1 time he says it back!
