Description
From Shogakukan Asia:
The size of a city, a legion of women, reserved solely for the Emperor. This is the Inner Palace. Into it is thrown Maomao, an apothecary who was kidnapped and sold into service. Now, she has to survive working as a maidservant but all is not well in Paradise. The emperor’s children are dying one after the other under mysterious circumstances. Is it really a curse, as the rumours say? A certain apothecary might just have the answer but will they even take her seriously?
Note: Nominated for the 70th Shogakukan Manga Award in 2024.
