    Summary

    It started off as a normal day. Until Maomao accidentally rescues an innocent baby from execution.
    A noblewoman named Gyokuyou, who’s entire family was sentenced to death, shoved her baby into the young apothecary’s arms, begging her to keep Lingli safe—and never returned. Without thinking, Maomao takes the baby girl with her, changing Lingli’s name to Xiaoling and begins to raise the little girl in secret with the help of her adoptive father and sisters.

    Four years later, Lingli’s older brother—the missing Zuigetsu now renamed Jinshi—appears to demand answers. What started off as a debt of gratitude transforms into a dangerous game of politics and passion. To clear his family’s name, Jinshi needs Maomao’s help to infiltrate the fortress of the Shi clan, whom hold the answers to why his family was executed.

    But working together ignites an undeniable attraction from both of them and Maomao now has to step carefully between keeping her new family safe and the love that could destroy everything she holds precious.

    AU world where Jinshi isn’t a prince but the son of a noble who is hellbent on revenge and a softened Maomao who played the role of a caretaker to a baby.

    Summary

    Even the most sharp-eyed apothecary can miscalculate.

    Maomao prided herself on logic, observation, and the ability to diagnose what others overlooked. She could detect poison from a single sip and identify illness from the faintest discoloration of skin. Yet when it came to her own body, she missed the most obvious truth of all. Our Maomao still has a lot to learn.

    Luckily, not every mistake ends in tragedy.

    Summary

    It has been 26 years since the Apothecary was brought to the Rear Palace. A new Emperor sits upon Heaven’s Throne. Upheavals and innovations shall mark this reign as a time of transition for Li. It shall prove to be either the beginning of a Golden age, or the end of a dynasty.

    In this time of change, destiny sees fit to intertwine two fates together. Jongsen, an unassuming yet clever peasant boy, shall cross paths with a kind yet mischievous princess, and their choices will change the course of history.


    “You are going to be the death of me,” Jongsen said with a sigh.
    “Oh don’t be so dramatic.” Fensui responded, still grinning from ear to ear. “I would never let anything happen to my favorite henchman. Now light that fuse and blow this thing up before someone sees us.”

    Summary

    A trip to nearby villages in search of information about smallpox results in guards being let down and Maomao reaping the risks of it.

Plus, Chue is still coming to terms with her new circumstances, and her new circumstances really just feel like being a lot less capable than she was before.

    Or: what can grow from planting seeds of romantic, platonic, and familial love.
