The Apothecary Diaries by Natsu Hyuuga
A sharp-witted former apothecary nicknamed Maomao is seized from the city’s pleasure quarter and pressed into service in the imperial palace, where her knowledge of herbs, poisons, and medicine draws the attention of a perceptive eunuch and drags her into layers of court intrigue. Relying on forensic observation and pharmacological expertise, she quietly unravels mysteries—from subtle poisoning and baffling ailments to conspiracies—while navigating dangerous politics and protecting those she cares for. The story mixes historical mystery, dry humor, and slow-building relationships as she conceals her past to survive and influence the imperial world around her.
