Step into the elegant, mysterious world of The Apothecary Diaries, where poison hides in tea, secrets float through the palace, and clever minds rule the court. This anime blends historical drama with intrigue and a healthy dose of wit, all centered around Maomao—a sharp-tongued herbalist who would rather sniff herbs than play palace politics… unless she has to.

Whether you’re here for the courtly chaos, the suspense, the hilarious moments, or just can’t stop watching Maomao roast everyone with her dry sarcasm, we get it. But here’s the real question—if you found yourself strolling the halls of the inner palace, mixing tinctures or dodging assassination plots, which character would you be most like? Are you the brilliant observer who keeps everyone guessing, or the charming official hiding secrets behind that sly smile?

This quiz is here to help you discover your true Apothecary Diaries kin—whether you're sipping chrysanthemum tea with Maomao, scheming under the moonlight with Jinshi, or delivering deadpan wisdom like Gaoshun. From loyal protectors to unpredictable nobles, each personality in the palace adds spice to the story—and maybe a little chaos, too.

No need to have a PhD in pharmacology or experience in ancient imperial courts (thankfully). All you need is your gut instinct, a sense of humor, and maybe a little mischief. Just answer 15 slightly ridiculous but weirdly accurate questions, and we'll match you with the court companion you’re spiritually synced with.

Ready to find out who your palace soulmate is? Grab your powdered herbs, slip on your best royal robe (or just pretend you did), and take the quiz to meet your Apothecary Diaries kin!
