The Apothecary Diaries chapter 79 recap
The Apothecary Diaries chapter 79, titled The Pit, commenced with a focus on Maomao as she visited Lady Shenmei, the mother of Consort Loulan. Behind the Lady were people indulging in pleasure, which had Maomao questioning the vapors present inside the room. After having a brief conversation with Lady Shenmei, Maomao returned to her room.
The chapter then revealed Lady Shenmei's ruthless side as she used her heritage to berate others. Moreover, as a former consort, Shenmei was extremely jealous of beautiful people who had her appointing apothecaries who would design a drug to restore the Lady's youth. Unfortunately, Maomao was kidnapped for the same reason.
However, Maomao had no leads because she knew there was nothing like an 'eternal youth drug.' As she looked into the previous apothecaries' notes for clues, Maomao stumbled across a note from Chou-u that asked her to flee. He also sent a wire alongside the note, hinting that he might be aware that Maomao was being held against her will.
Ironically, before Maomao could act, Chou-u was caught by his lady-in-waiting. After gathering everyone, it was decided that the guard was responsible for Chou-u's actions. Moreover, Lady Shenmei also arrived on the scene and threatened the boy and his guard. Maomao couldn't hold her hatred against Shenmei and called the latter a 'twisted old hag.'

The Apothecary Diaries chapter 80 title is yet to be revealed. As hinted by the climax of the previous episode, the next episode might focus on the encounter between Maomao and Lady Shenmei as the latter might take ruthless actions against the former.
However, as Maomao is Lady Shenmei's last choice to acquire a life-changing drug, the female protagonist might go off with just a warning. However, as Maomao has now witnessed the tyranny of Lady Shenmei, what might she be planning to take her revenge?
