Maomao, a modest girl raised by her apothecary father in a modest town, never imagined a harem would have anything to do with her—until she was kidnapped and sold into service. there. Although she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick intelligence, sharp mind, and extensive knowledge of medicine.

He sees through Maomao's facade and transforms her into a maid who is none other than the Emperor's favorite consort… so she can taste her food for poison!
