Arisunime — In the anime The Apothecary Diaries, a tale full of intrigue and mystery surrounds Jinshi’s efforts to uncover a conspiracy that threatens the safety of the palace. One of the central figures in this conspiracy is Suirei, a former palace maid with in-depth knowledge of medicines and poisons. Along with Shisui, they become involved in a wicked plan that nearly costs Jinshi his life. This article will delve deeply into whether Jinshi successfully captures Suirei and Shisui, as well as how their story continues in this series.
In the final episodes of the first season of The Apothecary Diaries, it is revealed that Suirei is the mastermind behind a series of dangerous incidents in the palace, including an assassination attempt on Jinshi. With her intelligence, Maomao successfully thwarted the plan and saved Jinshi from danger. However, before Suirei could be apprehended, she ingested poison and was declared dead. Maomao, suspicious of Suirei’s death, discovers that the body in the coffin is not Suirei, but rather someone who had been switched. It turns out that Suirei used a drug that mimics death to escape from the palace undetected.
Meanwhile, Shisui, who is actually the real name of Suirei, is also involved in this conspiracy. In volume 4 of the light novel, it is told that Maomao and Shisui are taken to a remote village, where they discover that Suirei and Shisui are collaborating in a larger rebellion plan. However, by the end of the first season, Jinshi has yet to capture either of them. Suirei cleverly manages to escape, while the identity and whereabouts of Shisui remain a mystery.
As of this article’s writing, Jinshi has not yet succeeded in capturing Suirei and Shisui. Suirei used her knowledge of medicine to fake her death and escape from the palace. Meanwhile, Shisui, who has a close relationship with Suirei, has also not been found. Their story, filled with mystery and intrigue, is expected to be further revealed in the upcoming seasons of the series.***
