A palace servant with training in herbal medicine is promoted up the ranks to food taster...and right into the thick of imperial intrigue in this enthralling period mystery series!
In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her-until she was kidnapped and sold into service there.
Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. That's her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. He sees through Maomao's façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor's favorite consort... so she can taste the lady's food for poison!
At her lady's side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace-not all of it seemly. Can she ever lead a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?
I am the publisher of this novel in their platform and I hope you all are enjoying, reading this novel. I will upload chapters daily and if chapters are delead then think that the volume has ended and I am working for the next volume.
Great!! I really like it and I am currently watching the season 2 of this novel. I hope you can upload the novel up to season 2! ( What should I do? It's saying not enough word), anyways, bye.
My man, I really enjoyed reading the novel. Maomao is a very relatable character, to be honest. And I like jinshi as well and shipe both of them. Although, romance isn't the main thing of this novel. It's just a side dish
I like the," let's call them; villager one, two and three." Really liking the novel for now and let's hope I will still like it in the near future.
Have been reading for a while and you are really uploading one chapter a day, I really like it..thank you for uploading this novel in this platform.
Upload 1 chapter, a good thing. No any mistakes( I can't found any), and a friendly author. I like it. Although, the story gets better in the second volume of this novel.
Overall rating is 5.0 I really like the theme of this novel and hoping you will not stop uploading chapters after sometime. You are also a great person to give the right to the original author, Natsu hyugua.
I really like this novel and it's anime. Full of mystery, some genius type of stuff and some romance between moamoa and jinshi which is a side dish and the main dish is it's plot and story
It is perfect. All the chapters are coming in time. As you said, there is a the apothecary dairies novel and it only has one volume and it's been 3 months since the last upload so Yeah, I think you can beat her.
Bro, came from your video 🤣 I read the first chapter and it's the original translation. The season 2 just came so are you taking advantage of that? People are searching for the apothecary dairies light novel or manga.
