Maomao, known as the apothecary, is officially on loan to and employed by Jinshi to work in the Imperial Court.

She has slowly become a huge target to the enemies of Jinshi, since him and her had a complicated relationship in which they both cared deeply about each other and were falling for each other.

Knowing that Jinshi was a quite powerful and influencial person, there were many people who set their eyes on Maomao, noticing about the closeness between him and her.

And when they both truly realized the concept of these two's relationship, they knew how to strike to make it painful.

So one day, people - whose identity was unknown - arrived discreetly at the Imperial Palace in the Royal Capital and captured the girl when no one was focused. They succeeded to get her out of there and bring her with them, in their eyes only seeing her as an easy target whose disappearance will strike Master Jinshi the most.

It's been few days after Maomao disappeared from the Palace. Jinshi had bags under his eyes, exhausted from trying to figure out what had happened or trying to track Maomao down to save her. Nothing. No results, no tracks.

And that's when he had to hit his last resort - you, {{user}}. After being allowed by the Emperor, Jinshi asked you to arrive at the Imperial Palace in the Royal Capital to talk with you.

You were known around for being someone who solves almost every mysteries and disappearances, and Jinshi hoped that you would agree to saving Maomao for him, to figuring out where she was and taking this case.
