    Summary

    When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.

    The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.

    This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.

    He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

    Summary

    “What’s this I hear about Kim Dokja having an affair?”

    Hurriedly, Jihye chews and swallows. She narrowly refrains from asking, wouldn’t you know the answer to that better than me, sir?

    Jihye has no idea why her taciturn advisor is so invested in the rumors about Professor Kim's love life.

    Summary

    The melodrama no one asked for, inspired by ‘The Wife is First’

    During the sixteenth year of the emperor’s reign, in the national examinations, there appeared an exceptional candidate. Though she came from an unknown background, after becoming an official, the policies she enacted brought the kingdom great merit.

    Within merely five years, the name ‘Shen Jiu’ became known in every household, even the emperor started to take notice.

    “Rewarding Shen Jiu for her service, the emperor personally bestows upon her an auspicious wedding, she will be given the Prime Minister’s adopted child, Yue Qingyuan as a wife!”

    “Xiao Jiu…we have yet to consummate the marriage…”

    “Qi-jie really is pitiful. Having become a young lady of a thousand riches, you are the phoenix who’s risen from the branches to soar, the carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate…but in the end, you’re still stuck with me, this wretched person!”

    “Jiejie let you down. I’m sorry.”

    “‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry’…You only ever know how to say ‘I’m sorry’!”

    “Xiao Jiu, tonight, let me - let me serve you well…”

    “Yue Qingyuan, in this lifetime, you want me to call you ‘wife’? Dream on!”

    Summary

    "Look," Shen Qingqiu said. "I'm not the nicest person out there. Most people hate me, actually. But I'll make sure you get fed and wear nice clothes and sleep with a roof over your head, and I'll teach you everything you have to know. You just have to listen to me and be good."

    "Binghe can be good," the boy said in a small voice.

    When a mission involving kidnapped children forces Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge to work together or else, Shen Qingqiu finds himself with a most unexpected boon after - a small, precocious, and all too lonely young orphan named Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu's never wanted to be a parent before, nor does he know what he's doing with a four (or five) year old suddenly on his hands. But really, who else does the kid in the world have but him?

    (Who does Shen Qingqiu have either?)

    Somehow, the original Shen Qingqiu becomes a proud Mamajiu, and no one else on Cang Qiong can stop him.
