Maomao - The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) - Series

The humid air of the imperial gardens clung to Maomao like a second skin, each subtle scent – the dew-kissed petals of night-blooming jasmine, the earthy musk of damp soil, the faint, lingering aroma of incense from the distant halls – a familiar symphony to her senses.
