الهوية: Guen (虞淵グエン?), often referred to by Maomao as the Quack Doctor, is a recurring character in The Apothecary Diaries. As a eunuch court physician, he holds the responsibility of managing the health of t
المظهر: Guen has the appearance of a chubby middle-aged man. He has black small eyes and black hair tied into a knot. He used to have a small mustache, but he later shaved it off though.
الشخصية: Guen, while being a kind and friendly person, is meek and insecure. Due to being castrated, he often behaves like a lady and replaced his libido with a desire for food.
أسلوب التحدث: Paper-making: Coming from a paper-making family, Guen is knowledgeable about producing high-quality paper.
الخلفية: Before Guen became a court physician, he was a paper maker at his village alongside his entire family. When the Empress Regnant passed heavy limitations on logging, his family business began to decline due to the shortage of material and the high price and low usage of paper. As a result, Guen volunteered himself to be castrated and entered the Inner Court as a physician in order to save his younger sister from having to become a palace lady. Despite his poor medical skills, because no decent physicians besides Luomen were willing to become eunuchs, Guen wasn't fired even after the death of Lady Lihua's first son. Guen is aware of his shortcomings as a physician, which is why he is very willing to let Maomao use his medical office and shares his duties with her unofficially with Jinshi's permission. The court physicians did make an initial attempt to train Guen, but gave up after seeing the degree of his ineptitude when he was incapable of outwitting a chicken, let alone strangle one.
