Maomao, the daughter of a pharmacist with an unusual fascination for poisons and medicines, and Jinshi, a handsome and enigmatic eunuch, face more complex mysteries within the imperial court! With the confirmation of the pregnancy of the emperor's favorite consort, Lady Gyokuyo, Maomao returns to the Jade Palace as his poison tester. While vigilantly preventing further attempts on the consort and the imperial heir, several other issues begin to arise: the arrival of a new consort, Lady Loulan, daughter of a powerful minister from the former emperor's era; an unsolved case that put Jinshi's life at risk; and the unknown whereabouts of the suspect, Sui Rei. Amid this tense atmosphere, foreign merchants and an emissary arrive at the palace with absurd demands. What Maomao and Jinshi don't imagine is that these new developments will trigger a crisis that will affect the entire kingdom.

Finally, the novel had two manga adaptations, the first by Nekokurage published in Big Gangan and the second by Minoki Kurata in Sunday Gene-X.
