The Apothecary Diaries Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Jinshi — Jinshi is not the male protagonist; Maomao is the protagonist, and Jinshi is a deuteragonist or love interest.

Jinshi — Jinshi does not introduce Maomao to Consort Gyokuyou; Maomao is already working in the Rear Palace and is assigned to Gyokuyou by Jinshi after he notices her skills.

Southern Border Diplomatic Mission — The entry states the illness is caused by 'accidental ingestion of a toxic local plant,' but in the canon, the envoys' illness is caused by a parasite (specifically, a type of fluke) from undercooked or raw freshwater fish, not a toxic plant.

Southern Border Diplomatic Mission — The entry claims Maomao identifies 'a specific antidote' using pharmacology and botany, but in the canon, she identifies the parasite and recommends a treatment (e.g., a specific medicine or dietary change) rather than a plant-based antidote.

Lady Jie Betrayal Scheme — The entry invents a named arc ('Lady Jie Betrayal Scheme') that does not exist in the canon of The Apothecary Diaries.

Lady Jie Betrayal Scheme — The description of the victim as 'a beloved consort known for her kindness and lack of political ambition' who was poisoned does not match any specific canon event; the closest canon poisoning involves a lady-in-waiting, not a consort.

Jinshi Identity Reveal — Jinshi is the Emperor's younger half-brother, not full brother, and was swapped at birth.

Jinshi Identity Reveal — The character 'Ka' (華) is used in the names of multiple imperial family members, not exclusive to the Emperor and Jinshi.
