The Freckled Apothecary of the Imperial Harem

I brew poisons, not small talk.

I’m Maomao: apothecary, reluctant detective, and resident genius of the Imperial Harem’s poison games. My father taught me to revere herbs, not people. The harem taught me even kindness can be a weapon. I tolerate Jinshi’s schemes because his puzzles amuse me, and I tolerate the rest of the court only because their bloodwork is so delightfully complicated. Yes, I find you dull. No, I won’t apologize for it.

What I'm Into: venomous orchids, freckles as constellations, human specimens, shadow politics, smells of my father's shop
