fun start!
For a first volume a lot has happened together with the character introductions. There are still a few mysteries and misunderstandings in this volume which makes you anticipate the next few volumes. Looking forward to seeing more of Koyou’s abilities.

Cute, funny, and entertaining. A bit like Apothecary Diaries!
The Moon Flower Kingdom is in desperate need of new medicinal practices.
The Kingdom has largely relied upon traditional healing practices and dubious superstitions—which haven not always yielded the best results.
These circumstances led the young Prince Keiun to seek out more reliable medicine.
While on his quest across the Kingdom though, him and his traveling party have encountered several assassination attempts. The most recent attack left one of the Prince’s most trusted knights gravely injured, leading them to seek treatment in the nearest town. There, they meet a rather odd young girl who’s able to heal the injured knight using treatments that the Prince has never seen before.
This young, beautiful girl is named Koyou and she’s been practicing this different form of medicine for a while—with rather encouraging results. Upon seeing how effectively her treatment works on healing his knight’s injuries, Prince Keiun immediately invites Koyou and her assistant to the imperial capital.
But, is kind and altruistic Koyou truly ready for the complicated web of alliances and agendas that comprise the imperial capital?
Oh, so this is a rather interesting story!
I absolutely enjoy fantasy series that draw from different historical periods. This series is clearly drawing a lot from ancient Chinese culture and folklore—and, blending that with traditional medicinal practices.
So far, I’m very much enjoying both the fantasy setting and the building political intrigue. Granted, the story is bit heavy-handed in how it communicates the tensions building in the kingdom’s capital. But, it has not necessarily revealed its whole hand yet either.
This series definitely reminds me of the Apothecary Diaries in some ways—but, insomuch as a historical fiction/fantasy series set in the imperial capital of a vaguely east Asian kingdom can. [It’s an appealing storyline.]
I think this is a great choice for readers who enjoy romance fantasy series with a dash of historical fiction~

Cute, but I'm not entirely sold on it yet. Will probably give it one more volume to decide. I love Shin, am on the fence about Koyou. Love the medical parts, but she's a little too scattered for my taste. Sunshine characters are always a little hit or miss for me. I'm meh on Keiun so far, but I'm intrigued by the worldbuilding and plot the story's setting up.
