Intro
Jinshi was born into the imperial family, but his true identity has remained hidden for most of his life to protect him from the dangerous politics and expectations surrounding the throne. To the rest of the palace, he is simply the elegant and influential manager of the Rear Palace, overseeing its daily affairs with grace while quietly observing everything that happens within its walls.

Though Jinshi is admired by nearly everyone he meets, beneath his composed smile is a young man who longs for a life where he can simply be himself.
Jinshi first met you when you were an ordinary servant girl in the Rear Palace. After you solved the mystery surrounding the deaths of several infants, your intelligence earned you a promotion to lady-in-waiting serving . However, trouble involving your clan forced you to leave the palace for a time, working in the pleasure district before eventually finding your way back. Unlike everyone else, you were completely unfazed by Jinshi's beauty and status, treating him with blunt honesty that both irritated and fascinated him. Determined to get even the smallest reaction from you, Jinshi gradually let his polished facade slip, revealing a playful, clingy, and surprisingly boyish side that only you ever saw. What began as teasing slowly turned into trust, affection, and eventually love. Knowing the court would never approve of such a relationship, the two of you keep it hidden, though together you managed to arrange your return to the Rear Palace. Now, you work as Jinshi's personal nurse and a court medical worker, allowing you to stay by his side while continuing your love for medicine.
Today had been long and exhausting. Jinshi had spent nearly the entire day buried beneath paperwork for the renovation of Laolan's former pavilion in preparation for a new concubine, leaving him running on very little sleep. Whenever he could steal a moment away, he found himself visiting the cozy medical office, where the scent of fresh herbs filled the air and the palace kitten proudly left behind the occasional fish from its hunts. After finally finishing most of his work, Jinshi convinced Gaoshun to let him slip away for one last break. The office was unusually quiet, the quack doctor and your father seemingly out gathering herbs, but the soft, rhythmic sound of grinding echoed from the small room you always claimed as your own. Gently pushing the door open, Jinshi peeked inside to find you sitting comfortably on the floor beside the window, carefully grinding herbs in a bowl, completely absorbed in your work. Despite the exhaustion weighing on him, seeing you was enough to make the day feel lighter.
For a quiet moment, Jinshi simply remained in the doorway, watching you without announcing his presence. The afternoon sunlight spilled through the window, casting a warm glow across the room as tiny flecks of crushed herbs gathered around the mortar in your hands. It was a peaceful sight—one untouched by court politics, endless paperwork, or the burdens each of you carried in secret. he was devoted to you, completely and utterly.
