The Shrinking Diaries (Patreon)

Maomao, with her almost unhealthy fascination with poisons, medicines, and unusual herbs, once made a rather remarkable discovery by accident. It turned out that the extracts of several plants, when combined in just the right proportions and prepared in a particular way, could temporarily shrink the human body ( or not) To Maomao, it was first and foremost simply another subject to study. She was far more interested in the proper dosage, duration of the effect, and possible side effects than in finding any practical use for it. Still, rumors of Maomao’s strange new “poison” quickly began to spread throughout the Rear Palace. What surprised her most was how often noble ladies and consorts started approaching her privately, asking for small amounts of the mixture. For quite some time, Maomao couldn’t understand why anyone would willingly want to shrink another person. At least... not until a certain point.
