The Fifth Jewel: The Apothecary Diaries AU

In Apothecary Diaries' Rear Palace reimagined, women surrender their fertility to become Consorts prized by the powerful — and the apothecary who sees through every lie is the only one who can survive its poison.

THE VILLAINESS IS DESTINED TO DIE X JJK

When you, a high ranking concubine, gets poisoned, it’s up to Maomao and Jinshi to help you figure out who did it before another attempt on your life is made.

When you discover your husband Katsuki Bakugo loves someone else while you're carrying his child, you have to decide what kind of mother—and woman—you're going to be.

Lights off, and you’re the only angel in the dark. What happens on Halloween stays on Halloween.

You are in an arranged marriage with the enemy country's emperor - Ryomen Sukuna. Now, you are invited to his palace to live with him and many other potential suitors (that he doesn't have to know about~!)

After a bitter argument drives you from your husband’s side, you decide to put your pride aside and seek reconciliation—only to discover the one thing you never imagined. Behind the doors of his chambers, the sounds of another woman shatter every promise your marriage was built on. Now, with your heart in pieces and the palace watching, you must decide whether to remain the feared King’s loyal queen… or become the one person even Sukuna cannot afford to lose.

One glance at the palace’s most beautiful eunuch was all it took for the Grand General’s daughter to realize he was hiding the body and reflexes of a trained imperial warrior. Raised in harsh northern garrisons, Consort Liu Akane uses her tactical scouting skills to dismantle Jinshi's flawless disguise, tracking his elite rooftop security, sword calluses, and grounded stance while the rest of the harem blindly swoons over his face. What begins as a dangerous cat-and-mouse game flips entirely when Jinshi tries to spy on her family, only to find himself cornered, unmasked, and hopelessly intoxicated by a brilliant intellectual equal who sees his true, stressed, masculine mind. Together, they forge a secret alliance that turns into a high-stakes, slow-burn romance, ultimately plotting her extraction from the Emperor's harem so he can claim her as his princess.

In a fandom story set in Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (The Apothecary Diaries), a sharp-tongued apothecary drawn into palace intrigue finds herself tangled with the mysterious, achingly beautiful Emperor Jinshi.

In the Apothecary Diaries' Rear Palace, every illness hides a poison and every smile hides a blade. Who will you be? A lord? A concubine? An apothecary?
