   Summary

   Even the most sharp-eyed apothecary can miscalculate.

   Maomao prided herself on logic, observation, and the ability to diagnose what others overlooked. She could detect poison from a single sip and identify illness from the faintest discoloration of skin. Yet when it came to her own body, she missed the most obvious truth of all. Our Maomao still has a lot to learn.

   Luckily, not every mistake ends in tragedy.
