When the radiant yet enigmatic Jinshi falls gravely ill, only one person dares speak plainly to him-Maomao, the court's eccentric apothecary. As she uncovers the severity of his condition, hidden truths and buried emotions rise with the fever. Between whispered confessions, forbidden feelings, and a relationship blooming in secret, Maomao must confront not only Jinshi's vulnerability, but her own guarded heart. A tale of soft romance, quiet intimacy, and love veiled in the silken shadows of the court.

Behind closed doors, far from palace walls and lingering gazes, Maomao and Jinshi finally surrender to the tension they've carried for far too long. Between whispered confessions, tender worship, and laughter shared over stolen honey buns, they let go of fear-and choose each other. This is what the palace never saw. What only love, unmasked and unafraid, can reveal.
