The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 Builds Toward a Locust Crisis
The third season of The Apothecary Diaries is following Maomao as she investigates problems in the country of Li.
A plague of locusts threatens to cause widespread damage and famine.
Maomao wants to read books left behind at the Shi Clan stronghold, especially one about insects.
Jinshi is the only person with the authority to retrieve them.
The Shi Clan was destroyed after its rebellion, and some people may see later disasters as punishment for that decision.
For now, people are praising the Imperial Brother for his role in the events, but Jinshi expects criticism if conditions worsen.
