Publisher Description
Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer court—as the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi! That doesn’t necessarily make her popular with the other ladies, but a bit of jealousy might be the least of her problems. 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 mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi. He’s strange, maybe even a little twisted... and he seems very interested in Maomao.
Customer Reviews
Obsessed girls are great
Both Myne (Ascendance oof a Bookworm) and Maomao are very focused on their passions, books and herbs, respectively, and aware but indifferent to looks and charms of the heroes. The greatest loyalty and love to who they considered family, a sense of justice, and a very critical eye to society and peoples foibles.
There a moments in both when I laughed so hard it hurt. In this novel, the discussion regarding the close examination of a near naked ‘knight” and the totally misunderstood reasoning by the hero with his attendant’s Buddhist attitude was precious.
