### Summary
Still smarting from the double humiliation of being ignored by Maomao in favor of a caterpillar and then overhearing court ladies gossip about his "weird taste in women," a dejected Jinshi is left to sulk. The celestial-faced eunuch's attempts at romance have backfired spectacularly, leaving him to grapple with the painful truth that his affection for the plain-faced apothecary is seen as nothing more than an oddity. As Jinshi wallows in his misery, his loyal attendant Gaoshun can only look on with quiet sympathy for his master's romantic troubles.
