A palace servant with training in herbal medicine is promoted up the ranks to food taster...and right into the thick of imperial intrigue in this enthralling period mystery series!
In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her-until she was kidnapped and sold into service there.
Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. That\'s her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. He sees through Maomao\'s façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor\'s favorite consort... so she can taste the lady\'s food for poison!
At her lady\'s side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace-not all of it seemly. Can she ever lead a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?

    War-type novels always have both a glorious and tragic side. I hope we get to see it all unfold!

    *bagon* Argo again use the time when his opponent was still down to strengthen himself, but he knows even with his toughness he can only endure 3 strengthening or his body won't be able to endure and may result in backlash

    She can't do the 'negotiating'. She was only 9 years old!! It would raise suspicion from Stella the witch!!  But if she remain here she will go crazy from Stella the witch and her 2 half sisters. She can wait for atleast 3 years and can do the negotiate thingy. So all she could do as of now was to build her foundation!! She wanted to be a star!! So she need to know how to sing, dance and act. She's already beautiful enough to cause a continent's downfall and most especially she also need to earn money and earn her popularity!!

    Kira Iziru laughed and joked next to him: "Renji, when you become a Lieutenant, Xia Yan has become Captain."
