Synopsis

Xi Qingyan, the only daughter of the sacred-bone royal clan of the Xuluo Kingdom, was cherished as the nation's jewel. She had no interest in music, chess, painting, calligraphy, or needlework, but was fascinated by the divine arts of the shrine. On the day of a solar eclipse, a crescent-moon mark appeared on her body, and from then on she studied astrology and the art of summoning rain. True-bone and high-ranking nobles vied for her hand in marriage. Who could have known that the winds would suddenly shift, turning this beloved sacred-bone princess into a beauty caught in political machinations...

“There's no way I'm entering a political marriage. Since that's settled, how about we elope...?”

The true-bone nobleman Park Ilseong and the sacred-bone princess Xi Qingyan fell deeply in love. They danced gracefully, breathed softly, and moved lightly as magpies darted through the sky.

The magpie's love token passes down through a hundred generations. The woman chosen by fate makes up her mind to set the troubled world right and protect the rightful order.

A Clever, Calm Female Lead Who Plans Every Move

Are there any female leads with exceptionally high intelligence who plan everything meticulously and always stay clear-headed? She should only do what she needs to do, never show off her talents for attention, and be morally ambiguous. She absolutely must not turn into a self-sacrificing savior later on.

No transmigration or rebirth. I've read too many stories where the female lead tramples scumbags and stages a comeback, so I want something different. Thanks, girls!
