Description

The size of a city, a legion of women, reserved solely for the Emperor—this is the Inner Palace. Into it is thrown Maomao, an apothecary who was kidnapped and sold into service. Now, she has to survive working as a maidservant… but all is not well in Paradise. The emperor’s children are dying one after the other under mysterious circumstances. Is it really a curse as the rumours say? A certain apothecary might just have the answer… but will they even take her seriously? *Source: Shogakukan Asia, Vol. 1*
