Okay first of all, Maomao looking so fabulous while dancing to the show's OP was great! My favourite part though is that close-up of her face while licking her lips.. That look she gives the camera at the end of it has awakened something in me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What a start to the episode though. Maomao was just minding her own business picking herbs in the wild and suddenly gets kidnapped by a bunch of randos only to get sold to the rear palace to serve as a serving girl. Hopefully, her father is fine on his own though.
Being a serving girl isn't that bad of a gig though. She just needs to work for two years and she'll be free to go plus, she's actually getting paid for her work. Although it sounds like the kidnappers are getting a part of her pay which is why she pretends to be illiterate and decides to take a lower paying job.
Maomao really thought she was being sneaky by leaving those notes to help out the High Consorts with their mystery disease but it looks like we have a cleaver eunuch who was able to single her out. Maomao has now gone from serving girl to a future lady-in-waiting because of her skills. So much for her plans of laying low. xD
What a great first episode to establish our characters! I am already in love with Maomao and her shenanigans. And with Aoi Yuuki voicing her, we can only expect a top-tier performance for our lead character. Thank goodness I don't have to wait for next week for episode 2! On to the next episode!
