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 diligently serve her work contract without drawing attention to herself or her skills, but curiosity pulls her into a world of palace mysteries just waiting to be unraveled!

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!
