A Large Scar on Handsome Jinshi's Beautiful Face... In Episode 47 of "The Apothecary Diaries," Jinshi Complies Quietly with the Wishes of Loulan, Now a Traitor, Shocking Viewers: "How Could You Do Such a Thing!!"

In episode 47 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," which started airing sequentially from June 27, Loulan (CV: Asami Seto), the daughter of a rebel, inflicts a wound on Jinshi (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka)'s face. Given that Jinshi is characterized as an extraordinarily handsome man, viewers were shocked, exclaiming, "A wound on Lord Jinshi's noble face!"

It appears that the mastermind behind the rebellion caused by the Shi clan was Shenmei (CV: Rica Fukami), the wife of Shishou (CV: Chō). Once a consort of the previous emperor, Shenmei harbored deep resentment toward the country and the former emperor, both of whom had upended her life, and she also despised Jinshi, regarded as the imperial younger brother.

When Jinshi appeared at the head of an army to put down the rebels, Loulan, Shenmei's daughter, asked, "May I ask you to grant me two wishes?" She then slashed Jinshi's cheek and confided, "Mother, this is the very best I can do." Perhaps driven by a sense of atonement, Jinshi offered no resistance and silently accepted Loulan's plea.

Though Jinshi himself did not resist, many viewers were shocked that the beauty of a man famed as the "calamity of nations" if he were a woman, was marred by a wound. Online, fans cried out, "A scar on Lord Jinshi's beautiful face...," "Kyaaah! A wound on Lord Jinshi's noble countenance!," and "How could you do such a thing to Lord Jinshi's face!!"
