months since a 17-year-old girl known as Maomao was kidnapped and forced to
work as a low-level servant at the emperor's palace. Still, she manages to
retain her curious and pragmatic spirit, planning to work until her years of
servitude are over. One day, however, she catches wind of the fact that the
emperor's two infants have fallen gravely ill. She decides to secretly take
action, drawing on her experience as a pharmacist raised in the poor
red-light district.<br /><br />Despite Maomao's attempts to remain
anonymous, she soon catches the eye of Jinshi, an influential eunuch who
recognizes her talents. Maomao soon finds herself in the emperor's inner
court, where she gradually makes a name for herself by utilizing her
knowledge and eccentric personality to solve various medical mysteries
