He Ji was punished for being mischievous and sent to guard the ancestral shrine. Deep in the shrine, however, he unearthed two long-sealed secret manuals. The Record of the Mysteries of Character Divination could foretell fortune and calamity, and glimpse the workings of fate. The Twin Scripture of Medicine and Gu could defy death and cure every poison. When the roguishly handsome young man ran his fingers over their yellowed pages, the upheavals of the martial world came to coil around the hem of his robe, dusted with peach petals.
He was the Half-Character Sage. At his divination stall, a single character could reveal how the heart shaped destiny and how a thought could change one's fate. He once uncovered bandits' plots before they could take shape and exposed court secrets with just a few words. He was also a living Bodhisattva: wherever his silver needles went, Gu poisons vanished; when the scent of his medicine spread, even withered trees bloomed again. From Lin Qingluo, the adopted daughter at a pharmacy in Peach Blossom Town, whose skirt was stained red with blood, to Yun Chuxue, the snowland saintess whose destiny was foretold, eight handsome companions each had their own special skills, and twelve beauties each had their own irresistible charm. The twin sisters Jiang Shuyue and Jiang Yingxue, too, carved their mark into his life, side by side with him amid flashing blades and ink-dark strokes.
The martial world called him a flirt, never knowing that every bond began with sincerity: he braved the black market to save Shen Yanqiu, and risked his life as a pawn to break Chu Wanqing's scheme. When his true identity as the orphaned heir of the former dynasty came to light, the backlash from his divination art entangled him. Those he had once protected now built walls around him: Xiao Linyuan took up his sword, Tang Mier commanded her Gu, and Murong Yue kept her secrets hidden. They all gave him their true hearts to keep him safe.
He wanted neither the throne nor a fate decreed by heaven. He believed only that
