Maomao lives happily with her apothecary father—until she's kidnapped and sold into service in the palace. Can she find a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?
Maomao goes from the rear palace to the outer court, where she finds mysterious fires, officials with food poisoning, and a craftsman's perplexing last will and testament. Are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection?
With Consort Gyokuyou pregnant, threats seem to lurk in every corner of the rear palace. When Jinshi goes to a faraway land to be part of an important gathering, however, Gyokuyou may not be the only one in danger...
Though her main duty is still looking after Consort Gyokuyou, Maomao finds time to help her friends and acquaintances in the rear palace, including Xiaolan, who will need a job after her term of service ends, and Consort Lishu, who's convinced she's seen a ghost!
