The Apothecary Diaries Episode 18: What's next?
After the cliffhanger that Apothecary Diaries Episode 17 left us with, where we saw Jinshi raise uncomfortable questions about courtesans due to his conversation with Lakan. As Maomao lets him know that the best way is to get the courtesan pregnant, viewers come one step closer to unveiling the truth behind Maomao’s birth and her true relationship with Verdigris House.
Fans can anticipate the upcoming episode of The Apothecary Diaries to delve into Lakan's backstory and motives, as well as more on the mysterious woman Maomao is seen taking care of back at Verdigris House. As most viewers would have guessed, the courtesan in Lakan’s story is likely the same courtesan, given her green hair and the way she is shown to play Go with Stones in the opening song track.
The Apothecary Diaries Episode 18 promises to shed light on Lakan's past and his connection to Maomao, as well as just how much of the story Maomao is aware of. Given how smart she is, the 17-year-old has probably already guessed the truth, but the question remains – will she tell Jinshi?
