Synopsis Anime The Apothecary Diaries
The Apothecary Diaries tells the story of Maomao, the daughter of an apothecary, who has been snatched from her peaceful life and sold to the lowest echelons of the imperial court.
Now just a maid, Maomao lives her new life of mediocrity and hides her extensive knowledge of medicine to avoid unwanted attention.
Not long after Maomao’s arrival, the emperor’s infant children mysteriously began to experience strange and inexplicable symptoms, starting with those as serious as a curse. The curious Maomao easily solved the mystery and in order not to be the center of attention, he tried to leave anonymous clues.
Unfortunately, the dashing and handsome eunuch Jinshi spotted her and managed to find her.
In recognition of her talent, Maoamo is promoted to be the favored concubine maid of the Gyoukyou emperor. As Maomao continued to cure the various ailments afflicting the imperial court, her pharmaceutical skills quickly proved indispensable.***
