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?

Ninja (Apothecary Diaries Fanfic) Reader x Suirei
Hana falls to a river during a heat of battle. One moment, she is in a fight with clashing blades, and then she is carried by men to be a servant in the Imperial Palace! "It was all but a blur... but this life isn't too bad either..." She kept her identity hidden until she met a certain court lady who smelled of medicine. A tall woman with rather androgynous features as her long black hair and blue eyes hypnotized Hana completely of her beauty. What is this feeling? she wonders...
The Lily of the Valley ❦Apothecary diaries❦
Yukihime grew up deep in the Red-Light District, side by side with Maomao-her sister not by blood, but by bond. Together they studied medicine, survived alley brawls, and found kinship among the courtesans of the Verdigris House. But when Maomao is kidnapped and taken into the depths of the Imperial Rear Palace, Yukihime makes a decision no one expects. Even if it means disguising herself as a man. Even if it means entering a world built for eunuchs and emperors. Even if it means catching the eye of a certain enigmatic, sharp-eyed eunch named Jinshi... Between delicate poisons, political games, and stolen glances, Yukihime must tread carefully. Because the Rear Palace is a place where beauty kills, silence saves, and love-if it dares to bloom-could cost everything.

The life of an apothecary
A collection of one-shots about Jinmao. (Warning: some of them will contain Spicy scenes). I wrote these one-shots in Spanish, but I'm currently translating them into English. I'm sure there will be many mistakes since it's not my native language, but I hope you enjoy them. "Jinshi-sama, first and foremost, I must apologize for not being able to keep our promise. We both know that your place is on the throne and that a mere apothecary cannot be with you. I have thoroughly enjoyed every day we have spent together, but this must stop. Find someone more suitable for you and that life, and I will do the same. I wish you the best and continued good health. Take care. Maomao." The letter continued and lengthened a little longer, but those paragraphs were the ones that hurt the most. It had been five years since he received that letter, and every word still stuck in her throat. And now, after all that time abroad, he was finally returning to the palace.
Jinshi's Frog - The Other Story
A moment of danger changes everything. When Jinshi plunges down the waterfall with Maomao at the very last second, their only option is to retreat into a forgotten cave for shelter. The way back is submerged-unreachable for someone who cannot swim. In the tight confines of this hideaway, what has long been hidden comes to light. A secret, buried for years, is revealed-and throws Maomao off balance. Between falling drops and silence, between breaths and unspoken longing, something unfolds that neither of them planned-something that reaches far beyond this single day.Complete
