In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her—until she was kidnapped and sold into service there.
Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. That’s her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. He sees through Maomao’s façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor’s favorite consort… so she can taste the lady’s food for poison!
At her lady’s side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace—not all of it seemly. Can she ever lead a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?

thanks for your work, could you add volume 11 ? please
I guess they’re trying to lay low since this series blew up, I expect that they’ll upload Volume 11 once Volume 12 is out by October/November.
When is volume 11 expected to be released?
Monday, May 20th, 2024.
Well looks like we got nothin for now, I guess the series blew up due to the anime. Volume 12 would be out in October/November.
Hell even the comments are strictly being moderated and yours is the most recent for now.

There is some romance, but it’s slow.
Is there actually romance in this? On other sites, there’s no romance tags? I say this hoping that there actually is lol
Thank you for volume 8!
Yeiii, thanks for Volume 7.. hope to have more chapters.. 😍😍
Maomao’s story is very entertaining. Lots of new English vocabularies too for me to learn.
Ive read only half up on Vol 1
Its fucking entertaining, though.
Do not be discouraged by the tags, but keep them in mind.
Thanks for volume 6!
Thank you for volume 5! 😄
Thank you for volume 5
Thanks for volume 4!
