Oh my, oh my, what happened to Maomao? Jinshi is thrown into major confusion as Maomao's character change throws him off in "The Apothecary Diaries"

Normally cool-headed Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) flashes a full smile...! Jinshi (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka), who is usually looked at by her with eyes as if seeing a caterpillar, was overwhelmed by the ‘character change’ in the 15th episode of "The Apothecary Diaries."

Jinshi, the eunuch who manages the inner palace, possesses beauty that captivates both men and women alike. On the other hand, Maomao shows no attachment except to medicine and poison, generally behaving unfriendly towards everyone. Jinshi is intrigued by Maomao's different reaction from other women, often teasing her only to be brushed off.

One day at work, Maomao was thinking about Cordyceps, a type of mushroom, contemplating, "Should I make medicinal alcohol, or pills? Heeheehee..." and chuckling to herself. At that moment, Jinshi came by, so Maomao greeted him with an unusually bright smile, saying "Welcome back." Jinshi stiffened at Maomao's completely different demeanor than usual, and in his agitation, he repeatedly bumped his head against a pillar.
