    Summary

    The idea was so forgiven to her that she still would not admit it was what she felt for Jinshi yet, nor had she ever spoken it back to him. Every “I love you” was met by a “I know sir” or just plain silence. Maomao just wasn’t ready yet Jinshi knew this, and he was ok with it.

    OR

    Maomao and Jinshi begin to navigate their relationship as a married couple (maybe making out along the way)

    Summary

    Not everyone had a creature called a soulmate spirit. Those who did were considered important, rare, desirable yet untouchable.

    A soulmate spirit was a guide to your soulmate, they represented your other half, protected you where they couldn't, they took a piece of your soulmate and formed a creature that represented them.

    Au
    Having an animal by your side that represents your soulmate makes it harder for jinshi to leave the line of succession

    Its a bother for maomao who had left her companion at home the day she was kidnapped.

    Maomao and Jinshi finally gotten their blessing and got married. Although they were married, they still acted the way they normally would. Sadly, Maomao got let go as a lady-in-waiting for Lady Gyokuyo. Maomao felt restless; all she could do was to find herbs and head to the quack, but then Jinshi would be on her tail and telling her off, and to take care of herself. To say the least, Maomao was bored to the core. Suiren only asked for help a few times, but not more, as she felt it would only be bothersome for Lady Maomao, as Suiren now called her.

For business, of course.

    Summary

    Maomao was born the daughter of Fengxian and Lakan—one of the most respected (and feared) men in the empire. As a baby, she was promised to Prince Ka Zuigetsu in an arranged marriage between families. To the adults, it was a brilliant political move. To her, it was just a future she never chose.

    Growing up among gilded walls and silent rules, Maomao learned early to observe—and to resist.
    Jinshi, the young prince, was raised to rule. Surrounded by expectations, he always followed the path laid out… until he realized that Maomao had no intention of doing the same.

    She doesn’t like him. He doesn’t understand why.
    But the two are bound by a destiny that never stops tightening.

    Summary

    Pairin gets in Maomao's head regarding why Jinshi bought out her contract from the Verdigris House. Miscommunication (and SMUT!) ensues!

    This is the alternate ending for Conjecture. Thank you to everyone who left kudos and such glowing comments. You inspired me to write the alternate ending!
    Chapters 1 and 2 of this work will be from Conjecture, altered to fit this new work and leave off where the alternate ending will begin, in case you are new here and do not care to read the first version, but I would highly recommend reading Conjecture for the more canon-friendly ending and context for where we started. This will deviate!
    While Conjecture is rated T for some mature themes, Conjoined is going to be rated E and is very inappropriate for underage eyes. You have been warned!

    If you are coming here from Conjecture, thank you! I am so glad you liked it enough to read more! You can ignore Chapters 1 and 2 if you want to avoid re-reading!

    Summary

    Maomao had meticulously crafted a selection of aphrodisiacs for the illustrious Empress Gyokuyou, unaware that Jinshi would seize the opportunity to pilfer some while taking a leisurely stroll to soothe his troubled mind, driven to the brink by her antics. The door to her chamber was slightly ajar, which compelled him to enter, only to discover she had departed for a bath. Initially, he believed these concoctions to be innocuous, yet as evening fell, he found himself at her threshold, yearning for her presence, her caress.

    As Maomao roused from her slumber, she found a pair of strong arms embracing her, a warm liquid oozing from between her legs, and the chaos of garments scattered haphazardly throughout the room. She vowed to make him pay for it. But could she really? She consented, after all. And all actions have consequences, yet even with a mind as intellectual as hers, love and lust blinded it.

    But how could a mere handful of stimulants — intended for another — devoid of Maomao’s approval for intimacy — and Jinshi’s intoxicated state intertwine their destinies so profoundly?

    Summary

    A fictional marriage - it sounds quite safe. At least, that's what Maomao thought. It's all simple: sign the agreement, nod at official receptions, and don't succumb to the charm of the Moon Prince. Easy, right? Maomao views this union as just another strange experiment of fate, while Jinshi sees it as another annoying duty. But what happens when the line between a game and the truth blurs? And even more difficult - when the heart stubbornly refuses to follow any logic...

    Summary

    The Shi Clan stronghold assault went off without a hitch. However, Jinshi didn't find the one person he cared about the most. He is now forced to deal with all the emotions that he tried to suppress for months while working with unlikely allies to find Maomao.

    a/n 9.18.25: Hello, I updated the tags thanks to some helpful advice from PaddleWaddle and MegaChive. I want to reiterate that plz don't stress about endgames too much. The tags are mostly to denote the amount of page space dedicated to exploration of different aspects. This work's primary objective is to write a story that includes characters that are underutilized in canon while not writing a story that is too similar to Natsu's progression. IMO the kind of Jinmao progression that we usually see is best left for Natsu to develop. I hope you can understand (bows deeply).

    Next chapter will be released on 3/13

    Summary

    LN 13 based

    It had been 3 days since they had returned home from their trip to the west. Jinshi had been anxious to see Maomao again since she had finally shared his feelings. However, he was advised not to call on her because she was probably working tirelessly to help make up for her and the other physicians' year-long absence. So when Jinshi heard from Chue that Maomao was working at the medical center near Jinshi’s residence. He took the opportunity to come up with an excuse to check in on Maomaos' well-being. If he got to sneak in a small charge, too, it would make him very happy.

    However, because of this Yao, En’en, and a few others accidentally realize the true status of Jinshi and Maomaos' relationship.
