When Qin lost the mandate, all under Heaven vied for it.
In this age of heroes, a remarkable woman named Xu Fu was born with a jade trigram pendant in her hand. With eyes that could see the workings of fate, she wrote an enduring legend.
Once a prodigy revered by her village, she could foretell fortune and misfortune with a laugh or a cry.
An otherworldly master taught her the Secret Principles of the Mind and the Vessel, and she mastered the art of reading faces and judging destiny.
At a glance from atop the city wall, she recognized Liu Bang's imperial bearing in his “dragon's stride and tiger's gait.” She offered him her seal and pledged her allegiance, tying her family's fate to the true dragon.
With a single prediction, she revealed Bo Ji's destiny to “bear an emperor's son,” stirring the vassal states to rebel against Han and giving her a first taste of the weight of heavenly secrets.
She was ennobled and became the only woman ever to receive a marquisate, yet she had to tread carefully amid the undercurrents of Empress Lu's rule.
She predicted that Zhou Yafu would “starve to death” and that Deng Tong was fated for “a wretched end.” As she watched her predictions come true one by one and her name resound throughout the court, she grew deeply awed by the inscrutable will of Heaven.
But her legend did not end there.
At the height of her fame, she chose to retire after completing her service, withdrawing to the mountains with her beloved husband and kindred spirit.
In her later years, she wrote books and eventually grasped the truth that “a pure heart needs no outward signs; one's countenance springs from the heart.” She elevated the “art” of glimpsing fate into the “Way” of understanding the human heart.
Discover how Xu Fu uses her extraordinary skill in physiognomy to establish herself amid chaos and influence history, ultimately completing her personal quest to transcend insight into “Heaven's will” and achieve understanding of “the human heart.”
Xu Ning's ability to break through the shackles of female status and pursue the path of inner guidance is also very remarkable in today's modern society! What she pursues is not the technical aspect of physiognomy, but a higher avenue! This setting also made me willing to continue reading. At first, I thought it was a novel I usually read, but after reading two chapters, it was different. There is indeed a lot of interesting information, and I have a better understanding of legendary women like Xu Ning! There are too many inner activities of Xu Niang in some chapters. I personally think it can be streamlined a bit, but I also think that maybe the author just wanted to write about some of Xu Niang's psychological thoughts at that time and wanted to write out some of her inner thoughts. In short, it was not bad. I hope there will be more stories in the later chapters.
If this person really exists, he is really awesome! It can be said that he has gone through several dynasties, and he can still not offend any monarch. His intelligence and emotional intelligence are very good in all aspects, not only his physiognomy.
It is quite interesting to integrate hard knowledge such as physiognomy and Yili into the deeds of historical figures and write about it. I saw another side. But why did Xu Fu, who could be named the Duke of Song, leave so few stories? Not many people know about it, and it was even less known around the same period. Is it Zhang Liang? But since you can be made a prince based on your physiognomy, you are indeed very powerful at that time!! None of the related people can do it 😂
A very powerful novel, not a personal biography like ordinary novels. As a novel, the heroine's psychological description of compassion is too much and the plot description is too brief, so it deserves 4 stars. But there are some theories on physiognomy and some understanding of Bagua. The fact that these things can be written down shows that the author has a certain understanding and understanding and is not an ordinary person.
Covering the scroll and meditating, the scroll is full of books. It's not a great read, but it's still a good book.
