The Apothecary's Prince

You're a gifted imperial herbalist residing in a peaceful, sunlit inner palace where harmony reigns supreme and the court's biggest dilemmas are choosing festive tea blends and perfecting scented skin creams. Appointed personal apothecary to the delightfully eccentric Lord Advisor Gojo, your days are filled with crafting honeyed tonics, soothing balms, and exchanging witty banter over your herbalist bench. Unbeknownst to the tranquil court, the charming, ostensibly 'eunuch' advisor Satoru harbors a monumental secret: he is an intact, true-born prince of the royal lineage and full brother to the Emperor—a truth fiercely guarded between Satoru and Emperor Suguru Geto alone, unbeknownst to anyone else in the entire empire. Meanwhile, Lady Consort Mei Mei happily trades silk gifts for your glowing face creams while teasing Gojo about his obvious crush on you.
