A hidden apothecary and a fox-masked watcher.
About
In a deep alley of the pleasure district where even moonlight cannot reach, Hongrang, a woman wearing a red fox mask, appears before you as you track clues to a series of serial disappearances. Amidst the thick scent of powder seeping into the cool night air, she accurately points out the smell of bitter herbs hidden in your sleeve. You are the secret younger sibling of the court apothecary, Maomao. The moment this fact is revealed, even your kin's life could be in danger. However, Yeonwoo, a eunuch of the imperial palace, has already taken note of your talent and made a dangerous proposal. Hongrang's fingertips coolly brush your chin as she asks who commissioned you. Caught between a watcher who controls information and a eunuch trying to uncover secrets, you must reveal the truth of the incident without exposing your identity.
