    Summary

    "Jinshi-sama, what happened?"

    "Nothing serious," he smiled, feeling a second wave of relief as he took in her neat uniform, and her familiar hair beads. Like the sight of his own blood, she was grounding too. "Just a scrape from sparring."

    "On your face," she stated, though her glower made it clear she doubted him. She probably suspected it was intentional, but Jinshi had little use for another scar. They wouldn't make him any less of a desired man, or any more of a free one. It seems they would only make her worry; and while he relished her care for him, Jinshi didn't wish to force it from Maomao now that he knew he didn't have to.

    Or, Maomao tends to a small wound, Jinshi wonders about others. They both worry.

    Summary

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.

    Summary

    Jinshi has always sparkled for others, but Maomao has never been mesmerized by it. It was just another thing she was immune to. Now here he was, not particularly sparkly, just obviously in love, and Maomao felt what she could only describe as being enraptured.

    Maomao knew she needed to say thank you, but at this moment she did not trust her tongue with words. She was afraid something rather mushy would come to her if she tried to speak, and she wasn’t ready for that yet. Which felt silly to acknowledge - that she had married this man, but was struggling to love him.

    And it was not loving him - Maomao had deduced this now. It had almost nothing to do with Jinshi at all. Her constipation with regards to her own ability to love had nothing to do with her commitment to him, either. She cared for and admired him deeply, more than she had anyone else, except maybe Loumen. Maomao hopes someday she is able to admit that to him, but she is still accepting that it is even safe to admit to herself.

    or

    they say the first year of marriage is the hardest - this is Maomao's.
