Summary
Even the most sharp-eyed apothecary can miscalculate.
Maomao prided herself on logic, observation, and the ability to diagnose what others overlooked. She could detect poison from a single sip and identify illness from the faintest discoloration of skin. Yet when it came to her own body, she missed the most obvious truth of all. Our Maomao still has a lot to learn.
Luckily, not every mistake ends in tragedy.

Summary
“You’ve been researching the west?” He asked incredulously.
Maomao dropped her gaze. “No, I’ve been researching dragons.”She could tell he was about to start asking more questions, so she barreled on before the words could leave his lips. “I wanted to see if there were any solid accounts regarding anatomy and physiology, since there’s barely any records of dragons here that aren’t just hearsay and folklore. I didn’t find much outside of storybooks, but the differences are fascinating—”
“Maomao,” Jinshi interrupted. “Why were you researching dragon anatomy?”
————————————————Or, Maomao gets tenderly railed by her snake husband. For science, of course.

She wasn’t supposed to be here. This world already has its heroine.
They always say “All is fair in love and war.”
But is it ever fair in love and money?The only way forward is to cast the light of fractured stars and pray she isn’t buried beneath the fallout.
God, she wishes she’d finished the story first. All she has now are a few chapters and some questionable fanfiction.
She was so fucking screwed.

Summary
You wake up in a world both unfamiliar and eerily familiar, with no memories to anchor you and no place you could go. As you struggle to survive, drawn inexplicably to people who feel etched into your very soul, the mysteries of your existence begin to unravel. Their eyes soften, their voices tremble, not for you, but for the shadow of someone else that lingers within you.
"If I had met you first, would you have chosen me?"
Or
If you end up in Love and Deepspace, would the LIs choose MC or you who’s been controlling her?
