The Apothecary Diaries Season 2

Maomao, armed with sharp instincts and deep knowledge of medicines and poisons, has already helped untangle the mysteries and hidden schemes swirling through the imperial palace. After coming to terms with revelations about her parents, she returns to her usual work in service of the emperor’s highest-ranking consorts. Alongside the eunuch Jinshi, she also lends a hand in improving life for the consorts’ ladies-in-waiting, including supporting their efforts to learn to read.

Peace doesn’t last. The arrival of a merchant caravan brings fresh uncertainty, and a string of unsettling coincidences tied to the visitors and their goods draws Maomao into another investigation. With threats emerging from both beyond the palace walls and within its own factions, she relies on careful observation and medical expertise to protect the women of the inner court from harm.
