Qi Qingruan's origin was that she was the "top match" in the nine-door circle - Qi Tiezui's precious granddaughter, Qi Yu's only daughter, and her mother was Yin Xinyue's niece. She was protected by her grandfather, the "group favorite" of the older generation of the Jiumen, and she had the Zhang Family Courtyard and the Crescent Hotel below to let her have fun. Since she was a child, she had been the jewel in the palms of everyone in the Jiumen. Even if she got into small troubles, her elders would smile and take care of her.
After her father passed away, Qi Tiezui sent her to Master Jie Jiu early to protect her. At that time, Jie Yuchen was already the "Hua'erye" who single-handedly took charge of the Jie family. He had flowing sleeves on stage and accurate calculations off stage. When they first met, Qi Qingruan clutched the peace charm given by her grandfather and timidly called him "Brother Jie Jia"; later, she followed him into ancient tombs and dealt with disputes in the world. She watched him use a thin knife to break traps and use a drama to calm people's hearts. The dependence in her heart gradually grew into joy.
When she was frightened by the ancient tomb rice dumplings, he would protect her behind him and brush the dust from her hair with his fingertips; he would help her clean up the mess after she left the Crescent Hotel, scolding her for her "little trouble", but with a smile hidden in his eyes; and when she fell asleep while studying the files left by Master Jiu, he would quietly put a cup of warm sweet soup on the corner of the table.
The ups and downs of Jiumen never stopped. When the secrets of the family's past and the crisis deep in the ancient tomb entangled Qi Qingruan, Xie Yuchen held her hand, with a gentle but firm voice: "Qi Qingruan, as long as I am here, no one can touch you." And she has also grown from the little girl who needed someone to protect her, to gradually being able to stand side by side with him, using the hexagram skills taught by her grandfather, Jiujiu.
