    Maomao, an apothecary's daughter from the pleasure district, is kidnapped and sold into service at the imperial palace. She plans to keep her head down — until she works out why the emperor's babies are dying. A beautiful eunuch named Jinshi notices, and keeps bringing her the court's poisonings and puzzles to solve. Maomao's curiosity repeatedly overcomes her wish to avoid attention, particularly when medicine or poison is involved. Palace rank and private motives make every inquiry delicate, turning practical knowledge into a valuable and sometimes inconvenient skill within a tightly controlled court.

    Dr. Jin dies on a medical mission and wakes up on a battlefield, treating the wounded before he realises where he is: the martial arts world of a novel he once read, in the body of a child. A child who knows modern medicine draws attention fast, from famous healers and dangerous clans alike. Medical knowledge gives him an unusual advantage, but saving a patient can alter his place in a world governed by power. His work puts the urgency of care alongside the risks of becoming useful to influential people.
