The last The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 episode, ‘Mirrors,’ saw Maomao examine a foreign envoy’s gifted mirror. She was later approached by Gaoshun about twin daughters of a wealthy man—one of whom is inexplicably pregnant despite strict confinement.

Initially suspecting a psychological cause, Maomao discovers the younger twin escaped using mirrors to create an illusion. Meanwhile, Jinshi learned the envoy sought a “Moon Fairy” resembling a courtesan from Rokushoukan.

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 5 will focus on selecting someone to portray the legendary Moon Spirit to satisfy the foreign envoys. With no suitable women meeting their expectations, Jinshi’s delicate appearance makes him a possible candidate for the role.

The upcoming episode may explore how Maomao makes use of her makeup skills to enhance his features, ensuring he convincingly embodies the idealized beauty sought by the envoy while balancing the diplomatic stakes of the situation.
