Goddess, Please Wait!

(A slacker System + political intrigue later on, a broad vision for the world, and a court of wise rulers and worthy ministers)

(The aloof prince vs. the sunny puppy, fighting over her in a love-triangle showdown; a girl with depression finds healing in ancient times)

When Zhu Yu, a modern girl suffering from depression, leapt from a bridge, she unexpectedly landed on the glazed roof tiles of the Great Liang imperial palace. The cold-eyed Third Prince, Rong Xun, regarded her with a chilly gaze, while the sunny Fifth Prince, Rong Qiao, smiled and asked her name. When the System's prophetic warning rang in her ear, she blurted out a prediction about a rebellion in the southern frontier. When it came true, the two princes hailed her as a goddess descended from Heaven.

“If the goddess is willing to enter my residence, you may take ten thousand taels of gold.” Rong Xun approached in his dark, embroidered robe, bringing with him the cool scent of cedar.

“Big Sister, come live at my place! I'll make a fur collar for you from the fox I hunt!” Rong Qiao tugged at her sleeve, dimples showing.

Forced into the struggle for the throne, Zhu Yu discovers something while predicting the court's fortunes: every time Rong Xun slips a coat over her shoulders late at night, or Rong Qiao secretly adds candied dates to her medicinal porridge, a warmth she has not felt in ages climbs like a spring vine over the icebound walls around her heart. When the System's final mission points to “mutual salvation,” she realizes that it was never divine power that healed them, but the warmth passed to her in a young man's palm.
