The Apothecary Diaries episode 24, titled Jinshi and Maomao, is set to air on March 23, 2024, at 1 am JST. In episode 23, Maomao challenges Lakan to a game of Chess with high stakes. Despite Lakan winning the first two matches, he deliberately loses the third to prevent Maomao from consuming a "poisonous" drink. It is later revealed that the drink was harmless, and Lakan was only pretending to be affected. The episode also delves into Lakan's past with Maomao's mother, Fengxian. Episode 24 will wrap up Lakan's arc and address Maomao's request to buy a courtesan from the Verdigris House.
