Synopsis

Maomao uses her sharp mind and deep knowledge of medicines and poisons to uncover mysteries and conspiracies in the imperial court. After finally understanding the truth about her parents, she settles back into her usual work—helping the emperor's highest-ranking consorts and their attendants. She teams up with the eunuch Jinshi on various tasks, including teaching some of the ladies-in-waiting how to read. Things get complicated when a merchant caravan rolls into the palace. Maomao notices a suspicious pattern of coincidences tied to the visitors and their goods, which doesn't sit right with her. She digs into what's really going on behind the scenes. With threats coming from both outside the palace and within its walls, Maomao relies on her clever thinking and medical skills to protect the concubines from whatever danger is brewing.
