[podfic] The Apothecary's Self Saving System

Summary:

Author's Summary:

So Shen Yuan is kidnapped and taken to the Inner Huan Hua Palace to serve as an maid just a few months after she FINALLY made it as an apothecary? Excellent. Just excellent! Add in a few murder-mysteries, a whole lot of poison, a gaggle of Ladies in Waiting, and a certain curly-haired eunuch who won't leave her the fuck alone, and it seems she has her work cut out for her. Now for the main issue: keeping her head attached to her neck in the process!

Notes:

XxMiserySmilesxX mentioned in the original fic notes that this is their first time writing something big for this type of project - ironically, it's my first time podding something this long XD It has been so much fun, and Misery has been a great collab partner. A big thanks to them for being very supportive and patient with me, and for running so far with this idea! I am having a great time seeing how things develop in this fusion universe ^_^

Also! Misery drew some awesome art to go along with the fic! I'll include it in each chapter, or you can see it embedded in the original fic.
