The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure

A treasure hidden in a city built on water sets the stage for a new mystery. The emperor charges Jinshi with honoring the last wish of a consort who died five years ago: to send her home to her family. Inspecting her remains, Jinshi finds them flawless—so beautiful she might still be alive. Determined to understand why, he hauls Maomao along to Binan-shu, the southern province governed by the Bi clan. There, in a bustling waterborne city, Maomao delights in medicines and herbs she has never seen, yet the mood is tense, with pirates ruthlessly hunting the fortune their late leader buried. Jinshi's uneasy hope that nothing will go wrong is dashed on the day of the funeral, when a major incident sets off a chain of events no one could have foreseen.
