Even the tiniest mysteries in this anime drive me crazy
Briefly

In the fourth episode of the second season of The Apothecary Diaries, the author initially believes she has solved a major mystery involving the emperor's concubines. She theorizes about a potential twist with two similar-looking blond women posing as one, drawing parallels to other narrative tropes. However, her theory is quickly debunked when characters reveal they are actually two foreign envoys who are cousins. This unexpected turn fuels her interest and prompts new theories as she delves deeper into the unfolding plot intricacies of the show.
I confidently thought I had it figured out, imagining a Padmé and handmaiden switcheroo in The Apothecary Diaries, but the twist left me rethinking everything.
The introduction of two very similar-looking blond women at the emperor's court sparked my imagination, but revelations throughout the episode turned my theories upside down.
