The Apothecary Diaries

Synopsis

Maomao would rather spend her days studying medicines and poisons, but being kidnapped and sold into palace service puts her curiosity to a very different use. When unexplained illnesses begin troubling the imperial household, her sharp eye and medical knowledge draw the attention of Jinshi, a powerful palace official. Each mystery she solves pulls her further into a world of secrets, rivalries, and dangerous ambitions.
