Summary:
Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer court as the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi! A mysterious warehouse fire, an official with a very bad case of food poisoning, and the mysterious last will and testament of a deceased craftsman all demand her attention. But are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection? Then there's the somewhat twisted, mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi and he seems to be interested in Maomao. In manga graphic novel format.
