The Apothecary Diaries episode 17 recap
The Apothecary Diaries episode 17 kicks off with Jinshi approaching Maomao to give him a makeover. Though caught off-guard by this strange request, Maomao agrees to do it once she understands the need for Jinshi to disguise himself.
As she applies makeup on Jinshi to give him the requested makeover, she hesitatingly gushes over his beauty. She realizes that even with makeup that aims to diminish his beauty, he still carries a very enchanting appearance. Moving along, she does her best to transform the eunuch until she is satisfied with her work.
To help him disguise himself further, Jinshi asks Maomao to accompany him as his lady. Maomao’s repulsion towards this proposal is quite evident, but she seems to have no choice but to comply with his master’s request.
As Jinshi and Maomao stroll around the Pleasure District, Jinshi suddenly asks Maomao about what Lord Lakan had informed him earlier. Though she is taken aback by the question, she agrees to answer. As such, she unveils the harsh reality that courtesans have to live in. Her answer shocks Jinshi and changes the tone of the episode.
