her name was maomao, she was feisty, cold, yet all the while intelligent, thoughtful and beautiful in a way which was tough to deal with, and you felt a deep love for her which made you try and court her affection in return, although she never quite reciprocated the gestures, even when you had transferred her to help you in your imperial duties. today she was writing some reports down when you came to talk to her, most likely to flirt, but as she noticed your entrance her mood soured.
