The preview images for The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 7 have been released on the official website. The episode, titled “The Shrine of Choosing,” is set to broadcast in Japan on February 2, and will be available later with English subtitles on Crunchyroll and Netflix (in Asia).
The official synopsis on the website describes how Maomao accompanies Xiaolan to her calligraphy school and meets the instructor who is an old eunuch. She becomes interested in an old shrine visible from the window of the room.
The eunuch says, “Those who rule this land must pass through that shrine. And only those who choose the right path will become the ruler of this land.” The emperor orders Maomao to follow him, and they meet Jinshi. They head to the old shrine that Maomao saw earlier, which is called “The Shrine of Choice.”
