Maomao’s life as an apothecary is turned upside down when she’s abducted and sold to the Inner Palace as a maid. She’s determined to serve out her contract without drawing attention to herself, but her insatiable curiosity and passion for poisons pull her into a world of palace mysteries!
Maomao’s newest request is from a surprising client: the emperor himself! She accompanies him to the Shrine of Choosing, where each emperor must undertake a trial before ascending the throne. After hearing the claim that Luomen would be able to solve the trial’s puzzle, Maomao is eager to rise to the challenge! Then, the empress dowager asks Maomao to investigate whether or not she placed a curse on the deceased former emperor!
