Gotta love a cute found family story.
Shoooo cute
gore
, TW: Unaliving self
TW: Unaliving attempt
Love the dark humor and how it's blunt about the reality of prostitution.
Has an anime!!!
Maomao, daughter of an apothecary in the redliggt district, gets kidnapped and sold to work in the Inner palace under an Ikemen eunuch, Jinshi.
Lots of drama and hijinks, within the palace walls where the consorts reside. Explores the political atmosphere of an empire modelled after Ancient China. Does have a very slow burn romance, love the comedic approach and how it's not the priority of the story.
