    Summary

    WARNING : LIGHT NOVEL SPOILERS UNTIL LN15

    Sometimes, the gods decide to bless two people with a soulmark when they meet. It is the sort of relationship often featured in romantic novels, but reality is not as kind as fiction.
    When Jinshi first sees his mark, he is worried. When Maomao finds hers, she is horrified.

    Or: an AU from the very beginning, using the soulmark trope.

    But just what this will entailed was lost to all but the new object of his attention.

    ------

    Or, Maomao becomes a concubine at the Rear Palace.
