The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 9 (Light Novel)

Maomao has effectively become Jinshi’s personal physician, but she’s just a simple apothecary. If she’s going to give him proper medical treatment, she’ll need more than her meager surgical skills. When she turns to her father for help, he says he’ll only teach her if she can pass a test he sets for her. Even if she succeeds at his mysterious request, however, the truth behind the practice of surgery at court may be more than she cares to know. And only once she has the knowledge she needs will she be able to accompany Jinshi on what could be his most dangerous journey yet.

    A lot of new characters with strong personalities: i love that! I think that after volume 7 the main plot of the books haven't interested me as much as the other ones did, but I do always enjoy every interaction between jinshi and maomao, and hope they will continue to be as entertaining (and more) in the next volumes.

    I read every volumes non-stop until I reach the last English translation volume as of now. I wish I can read Japanese!!! I can’t wait for the next volume to come out. I’m dying to see more romantic interactions between Mao Mao and Jinshi. Enough with Jinshi’s masochism, please. Mao Mao please see him as a love interest!!!

Quotes

  • Olga Winstonhas quotedlast year
    “Are you sure?” A smile flitted across Maomao’s face, and she slowly pulled her hands away. Except they didn’t leave his cheeks. Jinshi held them there. “Please let me go, sir,” she said.
    “Don’t want to.”
  • Zuzanna Rhas quotedlast year
    She discovered, though, that there was something else behind her boiling anger. Her hands went to Jinshi’s cheek. “You’re only human, Master Jinshi. You’re not some mythical immortal who can save everyone.” She held his face in her hands, the fingers of her left hand brushing his scar. “You can be wounded, scarred, brought low. Only human.”
  • mar. /ᐠ. .ᐟ\ฅhas quotedlast year
    “Pain, pain, go away,” Maomao said, recalling a rhyme her older sister Pairin had often used on her. She kissed the reddened cheek ever so gently. Her lips were colder than her fingertips, and made the cheek feel that much hotter.
