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 the garden-party assassination attempt, Maomao and her keen mind are called upon to continue solving all kinds of mysteries-the death of a high official, the cause of a fire, and a poisoning that plays out the same way another one did ten years ago. On top of all that, Maomao is expected to teach new bedroom techniques to the emperor's consorts! The busy life of this apothecary shows no signs of slowing down!
