The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 is back, and now you can watch it with a gaming PC that looks exactly like Jinshi’s pavilion. Starforge Systems has teamed up with the anime to build a custom rig themed around the show’s master and his companion Maomao, complete with a desk mat, wall art, and a swappable light plate that carries Maomao herself.
The case is the star. It takes the shape of a traditional Chinese pavilion, with red wood-effect rims and ornate latticework. Maomao and Jinshi appear on the glass panel, with Jinshi holding his signature basket of medicinal herbs. A traditional lattice window sits on the side, and the top panel carries a Go board — a nod to the scheming nature of the show. Inside, a swappable plate light featuring Maomao can be placed inside the case.
The Pavilions on the Desk
The desk mat and wall art round out the bundle. Both feature the anime’s main duo, so you can plaster your setup with Jinshi and Maomao if you were worried about coverage. The desk mat adds a surface layer, and the wall art hangs on the wall.
The Case Details
The pavilion case is the centerpiece. Its red wood-effect rims and ornate latticework give it a traditional Chinese look, while the glass panel lets viewers see Maomao and Jinshi inside. The lattice window on the side and the Go board on the top panel add visual detail without changing the core shape.
The Swappable Light Plate
The swappable Maomao light plate is a small but notable addition. It can be placed inside the case, giving owners a way to customize the interior lighting of their setup. The plate features Maomao, tying the internal design back to the anime’s main character.
The Full Bundle
The desk mat and wall art designs feature the anime’s main duo. They are included in the bundle alongside the case, so buyers get a complete setup rather than a single component.
