Synopsis
The Apothecary Diaries
Maomao lived a peaceful life with her apothecary father. Until one day, she's sold as a lowly servant to the emperor's palace. But she wasn't meant for a compliant life among royalty. So when imperial heirs fall ill, she decides to step in and find a cure! This catches the eye of Jinshi, a handsome palace official who promotes her. Now, she's making a name for herself solving medical mysteries!
The Long Watch
A millennium-era leak case shaping cross-strait dynamics hides a covert tug-of-war between foreign forces and Chinese agents. In the late 90s, rookie Chunxiao and star agent Ma Qi foil plots together, but as time passes, the case reshapes all involved amid era-defining shifts.
