Fics like The Gambit

When the Emperor passed away unexpectedly, Jinshi took the throne as regent until the next Emperor came of age, and cruel promises needed to be kept: Maomao would not be his wife. Released from her duties, Maomao returned to the Verdigris House as a courtesan. At the age of fifteen, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and Jinshi was freed from the role. He had never taken a consort, never a concubine. Rumors circulated of the former regent’s chastity. Even Maomao heard this, though she did not listen. She was a courtesan now. And yet, he visited her.
