Description
After a brutal attack shatters Maomao's world, Jinshi takes her into his home-not as a lord, but as someone who refuses to leave her alone in the dark. This isn't a story of palace schemes or clever deductions. It's about what comes after survival: the slow rebuilding of a life, one sleepless night at a time. Through grief, silence, and moments too fragile to name, Maomao is surrounded by people who love her-but at the center is Jinshi. Who doesn't ask her to smile. He just waits, gently, until she does. If you're here for slow-burn romance, deep emotional intimacy, and the quiet kind of love that heals more than it hurts-this is that story. It's not about solving mysteries. It's about what happens when someone finally lets themselves be loved. It's long. It's slow. And if you let it, it'll wreck you in the best way. - This takes place in a mostly canon timeline, with no major LN spoilers (but characters like Chue appear). The only major difference in the timeline is Gyokyou DOES NOT have kids and ANIME SPOILER - is NOT Empress (Jinmao fans enjoy!)
