Yi Gua Recognizes Misfortune (Detective)

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.
