For those who opened the comments before watching the video, this has spoilers. - Pls pin this, so nobody gets spoiled if they don't want to- unlike me:(
@@AkiraAnimeExpress The way you said with spoiler warning of course in the beginning of the video gave the idea that you would be warning before giving spoilers.
Thank god you pointed out that his decision to remove himself from royalty existed WAY before he met Maomao. As much as I love JinMao, it's really important to remember that Jinshi has hopes and dreams and wants OUTSIDE of Maomao. He is a well written character and he does not only exists to be the "simp". His desire to be free of the role as the heir has been there before Maomao came to his life. Her arrival only helped made his desire stronger
Of course! I love jinMao too but I ALSO love him for him, his character is written with such depth and his character development is one of my favorite parts of the LN!
I think Jinshi's arc is one of becoming less of a self-entitled prince to one who is able to communicate. He needs to ask her questions...like "Do you want to be my wife" instead of demanding, "You will be my wife." And I can't wait for that day. I love Jinshi.
That’s why I love this LN so much! Their changes are so real and important, they aren’t unrealistic with the time or the goal. Slowly and steadily they both have grown a lot 🤧
@@AkiraAnimeExpress It's the slowest of the slow burns. LOL. It's teaching me to be more patient. LOL. I love the novels too. I just finished 12 and feel like I have only heard a fourth of the story.
the choke scene has so many panties in a twist,im surprised how many people didnt read the novel and the full context of that power move and many love to forget BOTH maomao and Jinshi have suffered many forms of attepts of SA,maomao has lerned from the burdel love/sex is money and Jinshi from the palace that is power,both face each other not knowing how to express themselves cause also they are both virgins,is a slow burn for them to first compromise,then acept and express their feelings to finally start to build they own version of what affection is and how to express it. people always claim for complex characters but then refuse to let them develop
Omg! I never reallly thought of it that way! I knew maomao thinks of *love* as money but I have never figured that jinshi could possibly think of it as power!
This show is genius and I'm addicted. Could watch it again and again, there's just so much there. Can't wait for season 2 and continuation of the manga.
@@urusaiaho8646 actually she didn't go to jail, she just had a court date which was resolved cause she got an accountant and they let her go basically as long as she paid up so the manga is continuing still, iirc it didn't stop?
You really should read to the end of the light novels that have been published. Their relationship changes as they mature, and I've heard that in Vol. 12, Maomao finally accepts Jinshi's feelings for her, and has some of her own. BTW, Jinshi is 19 at the start of the series, with "Jinshi" as his "eunuch" character, who is supposed to be 24. He is one year older than Maomao. I had not understood that Suiren was Ah Duo's mother! That explains a few things, but not all. I don't think, even by vol. 11, that Jinshi knows he is the emperor's son, nor does the emperor. Only Ainshi and Ah Duo do. But he is definitely attached to Ah Duo. He cries when she leaves partially because of how she just dismissed him after coming back from having a drink with Maomao, and partially because he is fond of her. But I wouldn't call him a crybaby. He rarely shows his emotions... when he silently cries on the bed after branding himself, Maomao assumes he is upset by how the Emperor reacted, but he's also in a LOT of pain that he's been concealing afterwards, and finally gets the chance to react when the emperor and Gyokuyou leave. The next translated light novel is Volume 12, which comes out October 14... I can't wait! I've read the books several times, as well as the manga, and the anime (if you have the Kindle app, you can save a little money on the digital versions). HUGE fan!!
I really should!!!! I hate being stuck in a reader’s block!!!!! I just read spoilers or open the book and read from here and there and move to the next one without completing it 😭 And I just thought because of Maomao that maybe Jinshi has some idea that he is the emperor’s son cuz she says something like “It's not nice to have your father be mad at you” or something like that (I can't remember the exact words) it could be that SHE knows that he is the emperor's son that's why she suspect that he knows too (if it makes sense) The official translation comes out in Oct. Maybe I should boost myself up ohhhh and I have read some spoilers of LN 15?! And I didn't even know LN 15 existed! (on Twitter) so if you know plz tell me if it was real (I read the ah duo and the emperor’s conversation about Jinshi)
@@krustykami spoilers…. the first time it was in LN 4 when he comes to visit her in in pleasure district (in the end/epilogue) second time its most likely in LN 8 (epilogue) or the prologue of LN 9 They are fun read, you should definitely give it a try
@@AkiraAnimeExpress ik im late by 2 months but just a note, each letter is pretty much pronounced in a way that u can make out each letter. In english, for example: 'ea', is two letters but it sounds like one
yo im still waiting for chapter 75 and 76 on the manga, i cant remember where 74 released but it feels like 2 months has passed already, it’s supposed to be a monthly manga, it’s always delayed and randomly uploaded
In the beginning i thought Maomao was 18/19 and Jinshi 22 or something, but i've seen people saying they'd give him 30, so i can see why some people can be really unconfortable till we know the real ages, but we've had hints along the episodes that he's younger than he looks like. Also, considering the historical context, 23 years old man and 17 years girl don't bother me much, but of course it was a relief knowing the age gap is muuuch lower. Jinshi's harassing attitude seems to me more like a dumb young man than a sexual freak and i think this is very well developed, although there's no need to try to excuse his behaviour: it IS harassment indeed. English is not my first language so i hope i'm being clear here. Love Maomao and Jinshi dynamic. Can you tell me in wich scenes he bites her? I just started to read the novel.
Yeah, I’d say it’s his way to try to get her attention (which is a wrong way of course) and your English is pretty good! I got your point 😌 As for the biting scene… the first one is in vol 4 epilogue, happy reading!
MaoMao is so mean to him I hopes she gets better at being kind to him, and if she really doesn't like him, they need to change the direction of the manga
Finally someone noticed! I understand that he made maomao uncomfortable but it was because of his job he needed to flirt with her. But he did so much for her just for her to dance with someone else

Thanks for sharing this list. Most of the clues about 壬氏 in the anime aren't even subtle, so I'm surprised it takes 猫猫 as long as it does to see him for what he is instead for what he pretends, although she doesn't let any other nagging thought rest until she's solved that. It's obvious from ep 1 that 壬氏 is the Emperor's relation and next in line to the throne, and it's obvious about everything that follows from that. What's surprising is that 猫猫, so insightful everywhere else, is totally taken in by his playboy-antics, and this is something that I find to be rather plot-armory about this series: he can't be discovered because the plot doesn't allow it. I'm glad this point of tension is eventually resolved; I'm sad it's taking so long to resolve it.
I agree that maomao not understanding or rather *accepting* who jinshi is, is a part of the whole plot, for me that’s what kept me so glued to the story, because she knows that Jinshi is someone but is too afraid/not interested to let her brain figure it out. Tho I am glad it’s resolved, that too in a perfect way 😂🤭
1:01 jinshi isn’t ahduo’s son he’s the son of the previous emperor and the brother of the current one. when the previous emperor’s death is finally solved the empress dowager talks about his upbringing and how she made sure her son was raised. jinshi also has a lot of anxiety about looking like his father (the previous emperor) who was known to be a beautiful, albeit weird and reclusive man
@ i think it’s their shared androgynous energy, but if you read chapters 55-58 of the manga the empress dowager reveals the truth about jinshi’s conception and how she took the emperor by force well into her 30s. as much as jinshi looks like ah duo he looks even more like the late emperor in his prime
@@jazzismsare you sure it’s just the beauty part?! I mean they add the littlest details (like Maomao’s eyes being like her fathers etc) anddddbare you ok with novel spoilers? (It’s the main source of the story line)
So where did some of these images come from because ive read the manga up until its most recent chapter and ive never seen that mark on his side? Is the japanese version much farther ahead than its english counterpart?
Kind of…. There are two different artist and companies that post the same manga and later it get translated… *Monthly Sunday GX* is posting faster so I read from there, you can buy a digital copy from their website ✨
@@Sheeeshchill I have no idea what you are referring to. This is about Jinshi who is, according to canon, a masochist. The person asked who does that sort of thing. If a woman likes that sort of thing they do it too. If you don’t like it, tell the woman it’s not your thing. It’s the 21st century not ancient China. Speak up.

0:33 Guys ngl before seeing this vid(and knowing he wasn’t an eunuch)I literally made a f*cking complot in my head thinking that he wasn’t a eunuch and that he and Maomao get married at one point. Guys I was so righttttt 😨
@@SingingSealRiana maomao explained it better but through out the starting volumes he gave out hints and doesn’t came open about what he wants especially when maomao was involved, like when he fired her, tho both lack communication skills in that scene.
In the start he was 18 but as maomao spend months there and time passes he turns 19, and now through out season 2 he’d be 19 (would be 20 in LN 5) - wiki
No no please, I should’ve added a warning in the thumbnail 🫠 I just thought ppl who have watched the anime would know and well… what else could I add in facts video? 🥹
1:15 umm... This is bs. I've the read the manga and in it, it shows that Jinshi had the misconception as a child that his elder brother was his father bcos he was almost of the same age as his mother until he accidently stumbles upon his old father. He was very young back then somewhere around 8-10 if I'm not mistaken, and was not kept in contact with his emperor father bcos he was really old and was also suffering from mental illness. I also know where the admin's misconception came from...
The thing is when Jinshi's mother was pregnant with Jinshi so was his brother's first concubine Ah-duo, in fact, they both were delivering their babies on the same day, but bcos Jinshi's mother was THE empress back then, the eunuch doctor (maomao's father) was sent to her which resulted into Ah-duo's child being neglected medical care and hence passed away (which was also why maomao's father was kicked out of there when Jinshi's brother became the emperor). Again I know all this bcos I have read the manga. The reason this person misunderstood the family tree was because Maomao is shown being confused abt the same thing in the anime, but trust me it's cleared in the manga and the current emperor (who is also Jinshi's biological brother from another mother) and Ah duo ARE NOT HIS PARENTS! Guys, this misconception is literally incest, pls stop! 😂
@@Torrencosta32interesting….. But why does jinshi look so much like Ah Duo? And why did Ah Duo say “after my son left me” and not “after my son died” I know, they aren't big questions, but they do leave some space for doubts, you do have a good insight, however, I would like to tell you that there are light novels for this series… Read them once you are done with the manga 😌 Everything will make sense then
BS? Lmao you are so smart But Do you know why you don't have an award for being a genius yet? It's because you are an idiot Maybe read the novel before showing off your manga knowledge, the person isn't confused or overconfident about her half knowledge as she is 100% a novel reader lol
O wish the books would hurry and marry them, it's dragging their love story. I want to see them married and facing new challenges together as a couple and much humor as they raise their children. Hooefully Jenshi eill not have concubines.
@@AkiraAnimeExpress For those who have read the novel and watched the first whole season, Jinshi 's age is 19 and he's posing as a 24-yr old. But MaoMao reads the chronicles of the kingdom and the part where Luomen was banned was 17 yrs ago, so that would make Jinshi slightly older than 17-yr old MaoMao. The manga I think puts him at 18 or so.
@@adelizahamilton3354 He is 18 at the very beginning of the story, just like how in the beginning Maomao is 17. There is only a one year gap between them. Maomao herself confirms this in the story, both in the manga and novel.
Don’t y’all know something that Jinshi or Renshi in chinese mandarin translation is a gong zi meaning young master in chinese he is what you call a gong zi which is practically young handsome male nobleman which is a young master in most chinese period dramas as this anime is a homage to classic chinese period dramas just incase y’all foreigners know nothing about also chinese males are not all 5 feet 7 inches tall ok if you go to northern China especially in Beijing and even in northeast China chinese males are around 6 feet tall that’s a fact I think it’s ridiculous to say that Jinshi is taller than the average Chinese male as there’s many Chinese men who are 6 feet tall in height get it

What volume did the latest chapter of the manga happens in the novel?
When season 2?
It will come out in 2025, the date however isn’t confirmed yet
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO
Heheh THANK YOUUUU 🤎
So where did some of these images come from because ive read the manga up until its most recent chapter and ive never seen that mark on his side? Is the japanese version much farther ahead than its english counterpart?
Kind of….
There are two different artist and companies that post the same manga and later it get translated… *Monthly Sunday GX* is posting faster so I read from there, you can buy a digital copy from their website ✨
I don't know about the GX but Light Novel has images in it and Jinshi with mark on his side is one of the images.
AAA i just spoiled myself but i'm happy because he's calling her his wife 🤭
Hehehehe, Lil spoilers don't harm anyone 😂😌

Where can I read light novel of apothecary diaries

I knew about the choking one but He have bitten her?! Who does that!?
Lots of autistic people actually.... But damned he really does. Not have it with respecting bounderies
A masochist who enjoys it themselves.
@@AlloftheGoodNamesAreTaken I thought women do that but ig not ☠️
Some People do that and some people enjoy that too 🤭
@@Sheeeshchill I have no idea what you are referring to. This is about Jinshi who is, according to canon, a masochist. The person asked who does that sort of thing. If a woman likes that sort of thing they do it too. If you don’t like it, tell the woman it’s not your thing. It’s the 21st century not ancient China. Speak up.
Hey sis, do you think Jinshi is inlve deeply to maomao? from what chapter?
It’s a slow burn so there isn’t like…. A single chapter, they fall a little more in love every volume
Right now waiting for LN vol 12 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

0:33 Guys ngl before seeing this vid(and knowing he wasn’t an eunuch)I literally made a f*cking complot in my head thinking that he wasn’t a eunuch and that he and Maomao get married at one point. Guys I was so righttttt 😨
Damn! You must have six senses 😂
I would’ve never thought that they would turn the story like that
@@AkiraAnimeExpress i just had a gut feeling idk😄
Where can I read the manga
Mangadex
... How does some9ne else activly trying to blwnd put everything he says make him bad at communication?!
Exactly like you did…
You speak but people don’t get you, meaning you are bad at communication.
@@SingingSealRiana maomao explained it better but through out the starting volumes he gave out hints and doesn’t came open about what he wants especially when maomao was involved, like when he fired her, tho both lack communication skills in that scene.
Where do you guys read the novel ?
I downloaded them from jnovels website 👍🏼
They are also on kindle and Google play
Where should i read the novel from??
You can download them from jnovels 😌
@@AkiraAnimeExpressthanks
Np
Jinshi was 19 years old
In the start he was 18 but as maomao spend months there and time passes he turns 19, and now through out season 2 he’d be 19 (would be 20 in LN 5) - wiki
Can anyone tell me where can I read it?!
You can download the pdf or epub from jnovels website
I appreciate your channel but please give spoiler alert because jinshi is the Lore for apothecary diaries.
She literally said SPOILERS
I apologize if the thumbnail gave you one…
Other than that I did mention the spoilers 2 time 😌
@@andromedashun6697 sorry im not focused or not hearing it right
@@AkiraAnimeExpress i apologize because im suprised at number one literally get straight to the spoiler
No no please, I should’ve added a warning in the thumbnail 🫠
I just thought ppl who have watched the anime would know and well… what else could I add in facts video? 🥹
1:15 umm... This is bs. I've the read the manga and in it, it shows that Jinshi had the misconception as a child that his elder brother was his father bcos he was almost of the same age as his mother until he accidently stumbles upon his old father. He was very young back then somewhere around 8-10 if I'm not mistaken, and was not kept in contact with his emperor father bcos he was really old and was also suffering from mental illness.
I also know where the admin's misconception came from...
The thing is when Jinshi's mother was pregnant with Jinshi so was his brother's first concubine Ah-duo, in fact, they both were delivering their babies on the same day, but bcos Jinshi's mother was THE empress back then, the eunuch doctor (maomao's father) was sent to her which resulted into Ah-duo's child being neglected medical care and hence passed away (which was also why maomao's father was kicked out of there when Jinshi's brother became the emperor). Again I know all this bcos I have read the manga. The reason this person misunderstood the family tree was because Maomao is shown being confused abt the same thing in the anime, but trust me it's cleared in the manga and the current emperor (who is also Jinshi's biological brother from another mother) and Ah duo ARE NOT HIS PARENTS! Guys, this misconception is literally incest, pls stop! 😂
@@Torrencosta32interesting…..
But why does jinshi look so much like Ah Duo? And why did Ah Duo say “after my son left me” and not “after my son died”
I know, they aren't big questions, but they do leave some space for doubts, you do have a good insight, however, I would like to tell you that there are light novels for this series…
Read them once you are done with the manga 😌
Everything will make sense then
BS? Lmao you are so smart
But Do you know why you don't have an award for being a genius yet?
It's because you are an idiot
Maybe read the novel before showing off your manga knowledge, the person isn't confused or overconfident about her half knowledge as she is 100% a novel reader lol
read the novel...there it's very clear, that even the emperor knew Jinshi is his son, only Jinshi is clueless, does not know anything...
@silongbalay820 I said the same thing. When did I say the emperor didn't know Jinshi was his son? U read the comment again☺
he bit maomao?
Where can I read the light novel for free ?
google it
HOW DO YOU BE HONEST IN YOUR VIDEOS WHILE STILL GET 127K VIEWS AND COMMENTS FROM OTHERS !?
😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am blessed 😌
How? Well, Honestly…
I have no idea 😂
I hope the anime doesn't do the choking scene.
Why Jinshi be Chinese? Isnt this a Japanese story?
It is a Japanese animation (anime)
The storyline is set in ancient China
Shame the mangaka is in jail, no updates for a while 😢
Wait! The manga isn’t affected….
(Last months ch was 75)
Plus I think she is *suspended* not actually in jail 🙂↕️
O wish the books would hurry and marry them, it's dragging their love story. I want to see them married and facing new challenges together as a couple and much humor as they raise their children. Hooefully Jenshi eill not have concubines.
i just thought of their children Aw!:&jeidb&: they’d be the CUTEST!
Jinshi is 19
I kinda put his age in the beginning of the anime
Bro jinshi's age is 24 not 18
Hmmm…
Have you finished the first season?
@@AkiraAnimeExpress For those who have read the novel and watched the first whole season, Jinshi 's age is 19 and he's posing as a 24-yr old. But MaoMao reads the chronicles of the kingdom and the part where Luomen was banned was 17 yrs ago, so that would make Jinshi slightly older than 17-yr old MaoMao. The manga I think puts him at 18 or so.
@@adelizahamilton3354 He is 18 at the very beginning of the story, just like how in the beginning Maomao is 17. There is only a one year gap between them. Maomao herself confirms this in the story, both in the manga and novel.
Don’t y’all know something that Jinshi or Renshi in chinese mandarin translation is a gong zi meaning young master in chinese he is what you call a gong zi which is practically young handsome male nobleman which is a young master in most chinese period dramas as this anime is a homage to classic chinese period dramas just incase y’all foreigners know nothing about also chinese males are not all 5 feet 7 inches tall ok if you go to northern China especially in Beijing and even in northeast China chinese males are around 6 feet tall that’s a fact I think it’s ridiculous to say that Jinshi is taller than the average Chinese male as there’s many Chinese men who are 6 feet tall in height get it
