you know, the main reason I think The Apothecary Diaries has a big ol "This is a work of fiction" slapped all over it is because once you start digging into the details the anachronisms don't make sense any other way

#the apothecary diaries #the emperor apparently wears a tang dynasty hat but we have proto guns later in the novels #the hanfu are kind of all over the place too #of course all of the countries are made up too - the main country is Li #make it fantasy pre-modern China and you can pick and choose your favorite parts to borrow #and skip the tonsured hair on the men because that's kind of ugly to our current sensibilities
