薬屋のひとりごと外伝 小蘭回想録

Xiaolan was born into poverty, but she found contentment in her simple life caring for her younger siblings. That fragile peace shatters when her family, driven by desperation, makes a terrible decision and sends her to serve in the imperial palace.

Now a lowly servant in the rear palace, Xiaolan spends her days washing endless piles of laundry and attending to the whims of the consorts. She accepts her new lot without complaint, grateful at least for the steady meals. Her routine is brightened when she befriends Maomao, another servant girl whose peculiar demeanor sets her apart.

Together, they must navigate the intricate, scheming world of the rear palace, where status is everything and every interaction carries hidden meaning. Their budding friendship becomes a crucial anchor as they face the challenges of their confined new lives.
