The Apothecary Diaries (English Comics) vol. 1-15

Maomao is a young apothecary's daughter who finds herself kidnapped and sold as a servant to the imperial palace. Resigned to keeping her head down, she cannot help herself when she witnesses something that looks like a poisoning — and solves it with a few quiet words.

Her analytical mind and deep knowledge of medicine soon draw her into the attention of the emperor's most powerful retainer, and suddenly she is at the centre of every mystery, assassination attempt, and political intrigue in the imperial court. The Apothecary Diaries is sharp, elegant, and completely addictive.
