    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

    It is not Jinshi's hand which wrote the summons to his palace, but Suiren's—and Maomao knows better than to turn down anything the lady-in-waiting requests. Maomao knows what an evening call to a man's chambers means, and comes prepared. She's ready for what she expects to follow... but is Jinshi?

    Summary

    Who is he?—Jinshi. Jinka. Kousen. Ka Zuigetsu. Definitely not the future Emperor. Right?

    Who is she?—The apothecary. The food taster. The lady-in-waiting. The medical assistant. Definitely not the Princess of the La clan. Right?

    ***

    Jinshi has promised Maomao something—he would remove every obstacle to be together with her. He would become a commoner for her. But the more he tries to find a way to escape his fate, the more he seems to have a noose around his neck that threatens him to be trapped forever.

    Maomao has always been good in appearing unbothered and ignoring the obvious around her to keep her neck safe. But now she gradually has to learn that she cannot be ignorant anymore, especially when it comes to her own feelings and wishes.
