薬屋のひとりごと

In a land ruled by an emperor, the rear palace houses his consorts and the women who serve them. Maomao, a young woman raised by an apothecary father, is kidnapped and sold into service there. She tries to keep her head down, hiding her sharp mind and deep knowledge of medicine.

Her discretion ends when she crosses paths with Jinshi, the perceptive head eunuch. He recognizes her talents and assigns her to serve the emperor's favorite consort as a food taster, placing her at the center of palace intrigue.

As Maomao navigates the dangers of the rear palace, she begins to uncover the secrets behind the illnesses and mysteries that plague its residents.
