Something about Apothecary Diaries and the complexity of what it means to have a mother. Something about Maomao and her only memories of her mother being silence or a pain that has nothing to do with her but is reflected onto her anyway, and yet still engineering things so that Lakan, years later, would come to find and marry her. Something about all of the courtesans in the Verdigris House being like mother figures to Maomao, yet never paying attention to her when she cried. Something about Loulan doing everything in her power to not be a mother - taking drugs to avoid it, knowing that to have a child would be a selfish, cruel thing, even down to 'killing' the children who adore her. Something about Jinshi, and both of his mothers - the one who birthed him and the one who raised him. Anshi, and raising him to be mature and older than he should have had to be to be the opposite of his grandfather, the man who victimized her, and Ah-Duo, unable to be in his life because she chose to give him up. Something about mothers not being unconditional and uncomplicated; something about motherhood being absent, ugly, confined by circumstance or by past pain. Something about not wanting to be your mother; something about being too much like your mother. Something about how your mother haunts you regardless.

Next time, Maomao's harem catch up, and they both find out they made similar life choices and have been attracted to the same girl

Jinshi: I've known Maomao the longest.

Shisui: She gave me your hairpin 😌

This moment is so important. Because as much as these last two seasons have been building to the Shi clan reveal, they’ve equally been building to the moment Jinshi reveals who he is to Maomao. And this messy, in the middle of a battlefield scenario, blurted out by a soldier is not how he wanted it to go. Ironically though, as we know, Maomao is pretty much already aware of who Jinshi is, this moment just allows her to stop denying the reality. Even though she’s finally confronted with it though, it’s equally important to notice that nothing changes.

She now knows he’s the heir and yet her response is to tease him about his looks. And even when he speaks as the Moon Prince, his authority doesn’t scare her, she doesn’t step away from him or look at him any differently, to me this echoes the sentiment she said during the Hunt, that to her he’ll always be Jinshi. This solidifies the dynamic between them being that while Maomao may be fearful of what Jinshi’s status can mean for her, she’s never fearful of him personally 💚💜
