Description: "As a court lady, I will do my best!"17-year-old Lin Feng, the daughter of the Right Prime Minister, is forced to participate in the ceremony to select an empress for the 5-year-old emperor. However, her babysitting and musical skills catch the eye of the highest-ranking councellor, Cang Lian, and she is assigned to work in the imperial palace as a novice court lady.
A Chinese-style palace caretaker fantasy begins!
My Opinion: A manga with a very pretty art style and exiting story. Actually the main character reminds me a little bit of Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries and Reirin from Though I Am an Inept Villainess the way she has no interest in romance at all and stubbornly pursues her own goals, while being a bit more elegant and refined in her approach. I think it‘s a pretty good manga for everyone who likes to read The Apothecary Diaries, Though I Am an Inept Villainess, The Culinary Chronicles of a Court Flower and watched Saiunkoku Monogatari.
By the way, apparently it also seems to be a light novel adaption. I didn‘t know it before, but today I learned there exist‘s a light novel with three volumes (and oh my gosh, is the art pretty~), though I don‘t know if it‘s complete, or not. -
It shouldn‘t hurt to post the light novel covers here too:
-
Yep, would definitely read this one!
-
Volume 5 will be released tomorrow:
-
I know this one, it‘s quite the cute story and the female main character is really interesting.

I’ve forgotten to mention it, but the manga got released in print by Square Enix USA. Volume 2 was already released in the beginning of may.
