Maomao lived a peaceful life with her apothecary father. Until one day, she's sold as a lowly servant to the emperor's palace. But she wasn't meant for a compliant life among royalty. So when imperial heirs fall ill, she decides to step in and find a cure! This catches the eye of Jinshi, a handsome palace official who promotes her. Now, she's making a name for herself solving medical mysteries!

Absolute cinema, the plot is perfect and fits with the manga (idk about the novel I havent read it), the visuals are STUNNINGGGGGGG MAO MAO'S DANCE ON THE ROOF WAS BEAUTIFUUUUUL GOSH this show is pure perfection.
Also Jinshi lowkey needs to lock in and stop being such a loser 💀
