To the east is a land ruled by an emperor whose wives and concubines live in a sprawling compound known as the hougong, the back palace. Maomao, a nondescript girl raised in a nondescript town by her apothecary father, never imagined that the back palace would have anything to do with her – until she was kidnapped and sold into service there. Although she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick mind, a sharp mind, and extensive knowledge of medicine. This is her secret until she encounters a palace resident at least as shrewd as she: the head eunuch Jinshi. He sees through Maomao’s facade and turns her into a lady-in-waiting for none other than the Emperor’s favorite wife… so he can taste the poison lady’s food!
On his lady’s side, Maomao begins to learn about everything that goes on in the back palace – not all of it decent. Can she ever lead a peaceful life, or will her powers of deduction and her insatiable curiosity bring her more adventures and more dangers?
