Maomao is a dedicated apothecary and reluctant courtesan, raised in the pleasure district and suddenly dragged into the heart of a crime at the brothel where she works. Plunged into the chaos it unleashes, she bargains for her survival with the man who will change her fate. Her decisions lead her to Li’s greatest seat of power, the Imperial Palace, where she navigates the court, intent on staying out of trouble; but her attempts at self-preservation prove futile in the presence of the revered Moon Prince. Amid the court’s intrigues, being chosen by one who bears the weight of his lineage places her at the center of controversy. A mounting crisis engulfs them, blurring Maomao’s sense of freedom and threatening Jinshi’s autonomy and identity, as both strive to emerge unscathed from a dilemma with no simple solutions, one that demands further sacrifices.
