About: The Apothecary Diaries
Story
Set in an imperial court inspired by ancient China, The Apothecary Diaries follows Maomao, a sharp-witted girl with deep knowledge of medicine and poisons. After being forced into palace servitude, her skills catch the eye of the mysterious court official Jinshi — pulling her into a web of secrets, schemes, and life-threatening mysteries.
With her blunt charm and brilliant deductions, Maomao doesn’t just survive the palace — she outsmarts it.
Character Information:
Maomao: A quirky, no-nonsense apothecary with a brain as sharp as her tongue. Obsessed with poisons and medicine, Maomao is logical, observant, and brutally honest — often to hilarious effect. Though she tries to keep a low profile, her talents keep dragging her into the palace’s deepest secrets.
Jinshi: A stunningly handsome and high-ranking court official whose looks hide a sharp mind and a mysterious past. Charismatic but calculating, Jinshi takes a special interest in Maomao — intrigued by her intellect and unfiltered personality. Beneath the charm lies someone with serious influence… and secrets of his own.
