The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 Will Bring Jinshi and Maomao Even Closer

Season two significantly developed the connection between Maomao and Jinshi, particularly after Maomao discovered his true identity. Jinshi reveals he is actually Ka Zuigetsu, the Moon Prince, after learning Maomao was kidnapped by the Shi Clan during their planned rebellion. He had been living disguised as an eunuch named Jinshi to avoid palace intrigue, but everything changes in the second season following his revelation.
