If you like your mysteries with a dash of romance too, then you'll enjoy everything that The Apothecary Diaries has on offer. It's based on the Japanese light novel series by Natsu Hyūga, with the anime series set in an alternative perspective of the Tang Dynasty, China.

The Apothecary Diaries follows Maomao, a young girl who gets kidnapped and is forced to begin a new life as an indentured servant at the Imperial Palace. Her apothecary training soon lands her in hot water, however, as she is forced to team up with a eunuch named Jinshi to solve mysteries around the palace.

The two tackle political conspiracies, dangerous rumours, and even assassination attempts. With such a distinctive premise, it's no wonder the anime series is so popular.
