People always said Maomao was beyond saving.

Born to a disgraced courtesan, now falling deeper into the claws of syphilis beyond rescue. Daughter of the pleasure district, having had its way forced onto her.

In a way, Maomao had believed them, keeping her head lowered: a humble apothecary of the pleasure district and daughter of Luomen. Nothing more, nothing less.

Until she felt her.

There was no mistaking Maomao's words and actions. People saw her as she is: her pain apparent and her frowns slight. They finally take her at her word; she calls herself filthy, and no one thinks she's trying to insult them in a roundabout way.

Finally, Maomao feels heard; she feels listened to, and she feels loved.

Growing up in the pleasure district, she'd long been told that such love was unnatural. That only men desire women.

Maomao can prove from wrong, for she feels desire for such a wonderful woman in a distant time and unknown land, where people drink fermented wheat and eat baked goods shaped like crossed arms.

Perhaps, that's where Maomao is meant to be.

Full article on AO3!

This is based on one of my favorite Clickhole articles, which I'm convinced was made by an AO3 writer.

Being exposed to The Apothecary Diaries tangentially is like: so this guy is insane he's straight up unhinged crawling like a caterpillar and barking and growling like a feral dog for the female MC like no one has ever done in history and you're like holy shit my guy have some dignity please!

and then you actually watch TAD and you realize that not only was he justified in everything he did but you're now in a simping for Maomao competition against him with absolutely no chance of winning

PROPAGANDA:

[Jinshi]

"Just look at him. Maomao is over there writing prose of his appearance in her POV for a reason. 👀"

"I need to see Jinshi pregnant because this man is the perfect androgynous twink, even his female love interest imagines him with men as often as she does women. The best part is that Maomao would be endlessly fascinated by the situation and study the phenomenon extensively. What's more is that she's completely capable of providing care throughout the whole experience. Jinshi would be the most likely to fall pregnant as he is not only the most beautiful person in the land, but also exudes sex appeal at every turn. I'm also very interested in seeing a f/m mpreg relationship as most of the ones I've seen are always m/m."

Jinshi propaganda from last season

"It would be funny. Here are some carrots for the baby bunnies 🥕 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕. "

"Well, you know what they say about rabbits…"
