Summary

Can Maomao unravel the mysteries of the inner palace? Find out in this official manga adaptation of The Apothecary Diaries light novels!

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 returns to Consort Gyokuyo’s service in the inner palace, but Jinshi once again asks for her aid, this time with a seemingly impossible request. Knowing that the sly tactician Lakan put him up to this, Maomao is eager to rise to the challenge and teach Lakan a lesson! Later, a trading caravan brings items from the far west to the inner palace, but something about the wares offered to Consort Gyokuyo raises red flags in Maomao’s mind.
