The last chapter of The Apothecary Diaries, titled ‘The Pit,’ saw Maomao visit Lady Shenmei, mother of Consort Loulan, and notice the strange vapors in the room where others indulge in pleasure. After a brief exchange, Maomao learned of Shenmei’s obsession with youth and cruelty toward beautiful people.

Shenmei then kidnaps Maomao, hoping to force her into creating a youth-restoring drug. While examining past apothecaries’ notes, Maomao found a warning and wire from Chou-u. However, before she could escape, Shenmei sent her to the Pit – an underground room filled with snakes, which only excited Maomao.

The Apothecary Diaries Chapter 80 will be titled Feifa, corresponding with the fourth light novel, chapter 18. The chapter will continue Maomao’s encounter with the snakes within the Pit. Maomao’s knowledge and enthusiasm will allow her situation to unfold quite differently from Shenmei’s intentions.

The chapter may also reveal more about Feifa, the firearm, and explore how Shenmei’s family has been involved in its mass production. With the plot centered on Maomao’s survival and these mysterious weapons, a number of truths will likely be revealed.
