In the East was a land ruled by an emperor, who had concubines and servants living in a large complex called a harem. 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. That's her secret, until she meets a palace resident at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch Jinshi. 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! By her side, Maomao begins to learn about everything that goes on in the harem—not everything, it seems. Can she live a quiet life or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her more adventures and more dangers than ever before?
