Kusuriya no Hitorigoto: Maomao no Koukyuu Nazotoki Techou
In the East, an emperor rules over a vast palace complex called the hougong—the rear palace—where his consorts and attendants live. Maomao grew up in a quiet town, the daughter of an apothecary, and never expected the rear palace to intersect with her life. Then she got kidnapped and sold into it. Maomao's ordinary appearance hides a sharp mind and genuine talent for medicine. But she can't keep that secret for long. She catches the attention of Jinshi, the palace's head eunuch and just as perceptive as she is. He figures her out immediately and assigns her to work as a lady-in-waiting for the Emperor's favorite consort—specifically to taste her food and check it for poison. Working in the consort's chambers, Maomao starts uncovering what really happens behind the scenes in the rear palace. And it's messier than anyone on the outside realizes. Between her knack for solving mysteries and her curiosity that won't quit, Maomao's days of a quiet life seem pretty much done. Instead, she's heading straight into one strange case after another—and the dangers that come with them.
