The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao's Notes from the Inner Palace

Ongoing

薬屋のひとりごと 猫猫の後宮謎解き手帳

Maomao is an unassuming girl raised in a modest town by her apothecary father, and she never expected the rear palace, the vast complex where the emperor's consorts and serving women live, to have anything to do with her. Then she is kidnapped and sold into service there as a lowly maidservant.

She keeps her sharp mind and knowledge of medicine to herself, but the palace has a problem: the emperor's children are dying one after another under circumstances the rumour mill calls a curse. Maomao's curiosity pushes her to look into the deaths.

Her intelligence does not go unnoticed: the head eunuch, Jinshi, sees through her ordinary facade and places her at the side of the emperor's favorite consort to taste the lady's food for poison. From there, Maomao begins to learn everything that goes on in the rear palace, not all of it seemly.
