Maomao's Mother

Lore & Background

Maomao's mother is introduced solely through backstory, as she died before the events of the series. She does not suffer from syphilis; that condition belongs to a different character, the 'Verigold Lady', who is treated by Luomen. Luomen's medicines are not described as the only treatment for Maomao's mother's condition, because she is not a patient of Luomen. Her name, status, and cause of death are not provided in the source, but she is definitively deceased and not encountered by Maomao during the story.

In Their Own Story

When Maomao encounters her mother, she finds a woman gravely ill with syphilis. The only hope for her mother's recovery lies in the medicines prepared by Luomen. This meeting is a significant moment for Maomao, as it reveals a personal connection to her past and to the man who raised her. The source does not describe the emotional tone of this meeting or any subsequent events, but it establishes that Maomao's mother is alive and dependent on Luomen's expertise.

Her major plot point is her illness and her reliance on Luomen's medicines. She does not appear as a servant or commoner in the source, nor is she mentioned as deceased. Her presence in the story is direct, not merely as a backstory figure.
