薬屋のひとりごとThe Apothecary Diaries

1後宮編

Maomao is taken from the pleasure district and sold into service in the Inner Palace. Her knowledge of medicine exposes the cause of the emperor's children's illness, bringing her to the attention of Consort Gyokuyou and Jinshi while a succession of palace cases pull her farther from the quiet life she wanted.

2宮廷編１

After her first term in the Inner Palace, Maomao works in the outer court as Jinshi's attendant. Fires, poisonings, a dead craftsman's instructions and Lakan's interest connect apparently separate incidents and lead Maomao back toward the court's older secrets.

Season 1 ends here

3宮廷編２

Maomao returns to the Inner Palace as Gyokuyou's pregnancy changes the balance of power. Attempts on Jinshi, the abduction of Maomao and the Shi clan's preparations turn palace mysteries into a crisis that reaches far beyond the court.

Season 2 ends here

4市井編１

In the city, Maomao follows questions about medicine, paper, folk belief and a white-snake immortal while court relationships continue to shape the cases she encounters. The work takes her from familiar districts toward the western capital.

5市井編２

Maomao's return journey opens new questions about the clans around the court and about Lishu's position. Personal disputes, hidden identities and the choices of the people around her keep the city cases tied to the larger political story.

6砂欧編

Maomao takes another court-service examination and begins work in a medical office. A new consort, a foreign envoy and a shrine maiden from Shaoh place her knowledge inside a contest over medicine, ritual and succession.

7壬氏編

Jinshi's public plans bring Maomao into a web of games, court rivalries and reports from distant provinces. A Go contest and the threat of locusts give the court urgent problems while Jinshi's position and Maomao's place beside him become harder to keep separate.

8壬氏編２

Maomao works toward the medical knowledge needed to treat Jinshi and prepares for a dangerous journey. Training, family questions and the selection of the people who will travel west turn court duty into a test of what Maomao is willing to learn.

9西都編

In the western capital, Maomao studies crops, medicine and the people who control them while the court tries to understand an expanding agricultural disaster. Old histories, local customs and competing accounts make the investigation as political as it is practical.

10西都編２

The western capital's succession questions deepen as Maomao encounters families, travelers and officials with conflicting claims. Jinshi and his companions must choose whom to trust while Maomao follows clues through villages, estates and the road home.

11日常編

Back in the capital, Maomao's ordinary duties are interrupted by strange deaths, office troubles and requests from people who know her reputation. Even small incidents connect the palace, the medical office and the histories that its residents would rather leave buried.

12華佗編

A request involving the named clans brings Maomao into disputes over heirlooms, family lines and old obligations. Her investigations move between the palace, the pleasure district and the estates of people whose public names conceal private histories.

13華佗編２

Medical work becomes inseparable from court politics when a serious operation is proposed. Maomao tests what she knows, weighs the wishes of the patient and the people around him, and confronts the cost of making forbidden knowledge useful.

14疱瘡編

Reports of pustules point to a contagious outbreak beyond the court. With quarantine and fear spreading, Maomao searches for practical answers while doctors, officials and families decide how much danger they can accept to protect the people in their care.

15後始末編

The outbreak leaves people to deal with its consequences, unfinished obligations and the stories that circulated while the crisis was underway. Maomao's later cases return to family, books and the everyday consequences of decisions made at court.
