Fics like The Worth of a Life

Near the end of her pregnancy Concubine Gyokuyou is attacked in the middle of the night. Maomao steps in to defend her and while fighting for her life ends up taking the life of the attacker while sustaining serious injuries. While Jinshi steps in to care for her physically, Maomao deals with the mental turmoil of taking a life. With Maomao vulnerable and Jinshi doing his best to be patient with her, something begins to bloom between them. -- Complete self-indulgent slow-burn/fluff because I'm sad we didn't get it when Maomao saved Jinshi.
