CompletedAn outwardly warm but inwardly cold and shrewd shamaness protagonist, paired with a gentle yet cunning and subtly manipulative merchant male lead who knows when to advance and retreat.
Everyone in the world knows that there is a Shamaness Temple within the imperial palace. The shamanesses within deliver heavenly decrees, perform divination, and pray for blessings. Even the Emperor respects them threefold, yet they haven't spoken a word for a long time.
The truth is that Mingyu, as a shamaness, is feared by the Emperor, with her actions restricted at every turn. On ordinary days, she is forced to appear as a historian, unexpectedly witnessing the changing of imperial power.
Under the pursuit of the new Emperor, Mingyu is forced to flee the palace in disarray.
Once rescued, she initially thought she could escape the center of power. However, she didn't realize that Young Master Yu Tong'an of the Yu family was determined to drag her into the fray.
Yu Tong'an chuckled lightly, "With the new Emperor ascended, my Yu family is also facing ruin. You and I are on the same path, so why not conspire together?"
"I am just a commoner; how can I conspire with a young master?" Mingyu rolled her eyes but grabbed Yu Tong'an's hand, turning around to stir the muddy waters even more.
