Yi Gua Recognizes Misfortune (Detective) Completed

Xun Shu's main profession was carving flowers on coffins, and her side job was fortune-telling. Things were smooth and she was fearless, until she took a man home.

She thought she'd picked up a god of wealth, but it turned out to be a jinx. Since then, Xun Shu was repeatedly dragged into murder cases and even became a suspect.

Relying on the art of Yi Gua, Xun Shu turned misfortunes into blessings and found the real culprits, earning herself the title of 'Little Immortal.' Just as she was basking in success, her coffin shop was attacked, and everyone inside was presumed dead, with only Xun Shu escaping.

All clues pointed to that jinx, but he was nowhere to be found. Xun Shu gritted her teeth, planning a major search, while also filling a room with talismans to curse this ungrateful, senseless jinx.

Li Xuanhe, Assistant Minister of Dali Temple, was ambushed and attacked, fleeing wounded into the mountains where he was rescued by Xun Shu. While waiting for his attendants' rescue, he unexpectedly discovered that Xun Shu had intricate ties to the "Si Tian Ge" (Celestial Observation Pavilion), which he had been investigating for years.

So, he feigned amnesia, adopted the alias He Xuan, and lingered at the coffin shop. Li Xuanhe had been praised since childhood for being mature and steady, but his days at the coffin shop often left him fuming because of Xun Shu—yet, he actually quite enjoyed the feeling.

Until that day, when the coffin shop suffered a great disaster. He was a step too late and lost all trace of her.

This is a unit-based story with a happy ending, primarily focused on suspense and reasoning. All divination methods in the text are not cheat abilities; the female lead is an ordinary術士 (Daoist priest/diviner) with no fantastical settings. Please do not scrutinize the novel's contents too closely (for historical accuracy, etc.).

Beacon Fire Completed

Copywriting: [Crazy Royal Princess x Frail Spy-within-a-spy]

Qi Xin was the most respected legitimate eldest princess of Sheng Nation. Before she could marry her ideal consort, news arrived from the front lines that Duke of Jing, Shen Yu, had rebelled and surrendered to Yue. Influenced by her mother, Empress Yuan, Qi Xin always felt there was more to the story, but before she could explain to her imperial father, she was sent to Yue Nation for a political marriage to mend relations between the two countries.

In a foreign dungeon, Qi Xin, dressed in wedding attire, was forcibly given a blood pellet that crippled her martial arts. However, unknowingly, her body began to change. It was these changes that helped her escape back into Sheng territory with her last breath.

But when she awoke again, the first person she saw was an extraordinary, limping young gentleman. He said his name was Zheng Qi. It wasn't until she was pursued again that Qi Xin realized every word from this humble gentleman Zheng Qi was a lie — his name was fake, his identity was fake, and even his limping legs were a facade.

When venturing out, one's identity is self-given. Qi Xin thought she was already quite the actress, but she didn't expect someone else to be even better at faking it than she was.

Beneath the misty, steamy hot spring, she finally followed her primal urge and pressed her lips against his. He hadn't expected the person he had long desired to deliver herself to him.

Note 1: Before the female lead achieves resonance, she cannot control the power of the blood pellet. Injuries will be harder to heal than for ordinary people, and she will have more difficulty controlling her desires!

Note 2: There is no situation where the male lead is stronger than the strong female lead. The female lead is daring and decisive, but in the early stages, before resonance, the power of the blood pellet cannot be fully unleashed. She becomes incredibly cool in the later stages!
