"Having Fun, Are We?" – Full-Blown Jealousy in "The Apothecary Diaries" as Jinshi's Spying From the Shadows is a Little Too Horrifying

Jinshi, the eunuch who manages the rear palace, is a man of otherworldly beauty. At first, he saw Maomao as a convenient pawn, but his feelings seem to be gradually changing, and his usual composed demeanor tends to crumble whenever she is involved.

In Episode 19, Maomao and the military officer Lihaku (voiced by Kenji Akabane) were discussing a series of incidents and accidents. As Maomao shared her deductions, the friendly Lihaku laughed and clapped her on the shoulder, saying, "You're smarter than you look!"

Suddenly, a resentful-sounding voice drifted from nearby, saying, "Looks like you're having fun..." The source of the voice was none other than Jinshi, staring intently at them from behind a pillar. His usual radiant beauty had vanished, replaced by a damp, gloomy aura emanating from his entire body. Even after a flustered Lihaku quickly departed, Jinshi said to Maomao, "You seem to be quite close with that officer," and remained in a sour mood for a while.
