“Feeling a wave of regret, sir?”

“What would I regret?”

The entire concept of an Apothecary Diaries whump fic where Maomao is sick is hilarious on both sides. On one hand, you'd have Jinshi, who had probably never taken care of anyone, fret but be absolutely useless. And then Maomao would be upset that her attempts of self experimentation are constantly being interrupted and thwarted.

"I've gone to great pains to keep her quiet" What are you on about dude?? You did jack shit Jinshi she's quiet because she doesn't want to acknowledge The Frog

Mamao:No Jinshi ,I do not have a poison addiction I can stop whenever I want to

Bullying...

Or completely alone...

Man I can not wait for season two.

I hated that they left Lishu story entirely with her the back burner as if she hasn't been waiting for some to rescue her since she 8 years old.

Someone for her and her alone.

Basen says that he wants her to be happy that is all he wants.

Seriously I'm very happy with Basen right despite being a highborn nose stuck in the air when we first see him overly showing his position soldier that downright shows off how the real world past those that are with Jinshi and the servants treat MaoMao the true outside the one she's used to going in.

But he also states to Lishu that it was to much of a wish for a simple soldier making me realize heavily that MaoMao age is still 17 so Lishu is still 14.

And now I'm recoiling cause how the fuck do we get her to safety without Basen.

We don't.

She gets her own love story with treasonous acts with a soldier Basen or she is doomed again in the endless life she's stuck in bullied and alone and isolated all by herself.

And that makes me think real hard on the true man in which things are impossible for this girl who is not at all the main focus and she not being helped or given any support past MaoMao random running into her when people try and kill her again.

Sigh.

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
