Natsu Hyuuga

Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer court—as the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi!

A mysterious warehouse fire, an official with a very bad case of food poisoning, and the mysterious last will and testament of a deceased craftsman all demand her attention—but are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection? Then there’s the mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi. He’s strange, maybe even a little twisted... and he seems very interested in Maomao.
