Premieres sometime in 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the first season from AniList:

Maomao lived a peaceful life with her apothecary father. Until one day, she’s sold as a lowly servant to the emperor’s palace. But she wasn’t meant for a compliant life among royalty. So when imperial heirs fall ill, she decides to step in and find a cure! This catches the eye of Jinshi, a handsome palace official who promotes her. Now, she’s making a name for herself solving medical mysteries!

Yus! I didn't know this was getting another season! Season 1 is good. Like a little Sherlock, a little slice of life.

Yeah, I think Sherlock is the best comparison and it is what I kept referencing in my head when I watched the series. Excellent Sherlock-type story with an Imperial China flavor to it all.

It keeps the story going well enough with the palace intrigue but how it ties into her apothecary work is just icing! ☺️

I watched the Brother Cadfael mysteries on PBS when I was growing up and this reminds me of that favorably.
