[Sharp-tongued matchmaker × aloof chief minister | Marriage first, love later | Face-slapping and putting scumbags in their place | Career comeback | Sweet, thrilling mystery]
Hua Xier has eyes that can see the bonds of love and marriage.
Red threads mean a good match, black threads mean karmic debts, and threads stained with blood... can only mean a murder case!
As the capital’s most unruly matchmaker, she breaks up love matches with one hand and tears apart rumors with the other, taking on all kinds of bizarre claims that someone is “doomed to outlive their spouse.”
Until one day, she stumbles upon Chief Minister Xie Wugou’s secret.
The cold-faced lord, rumored to have the fate of a lone phoenix, has a bloodstained imperial marriage thread wrapped around him!
She blurts out, “My lord, your star of romance is rising. A young lady will force a kiss on you within three days!”
That very night, a bewitching woman from an enemy kingdom plants a kiss on Xie Wugou’s lips.
Xie Wugou grips her chin. “You’d better explain yourself.”
Hua Xier: “...How about marrying into my Magpie House first, so you can avoid all these romantic entanglements?”
