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!
After she and Jinshi investigate a poisoning during the garden party, Maomao and her keen mind are called upon to continue solving all kinds of mysteries—the sudden death of a high official, the cause of a fire, and even a case of food poisoning. On top of all that, Maomao is appointed teacher to the emperor’s consorts. The busy life of this apothecary shows no signs of slowing down!
