The Chosen One Makes a Quick Calculation, and the Entire Court Falls to Its Knees

Feng Jiujiu, an heir to the mysterious arts from the twenty-second century, is reborn as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household, abandoned and buried in a mass grave at birth. Born to a foolish woman, she should have been the “Heaven-ordained Holy Maiden” foretold by the Imperial Preceptor. Instead, her wicked stepmother switched their identities and fates, stealing the title and life of the Holy Maiden for her own daughter. Rescued by the old man Bu Wentian and given the name Xiao Yao, she descends the mountain at sixteen, heads for the capital, and searches for the truth of her birth. She sets up a fortune-telling stall, predicts life and death, and shakes the realm, earning herself the title “Living Immortal.” She saves the Thirteenth Prince, Xiao Jingheng, the nation’s guardian war god, who is afflicted with a strange poison and trapped by a life-borrowing formation. From then on, their fates become entwined. Faced with repeated plots by the false Heavenly Maiden, the Crown Prince’s relentless pressure at court, and the Prime Minister’s household casting her aside without mercy, Xiao Yao relies on her unparalleled divination skills and strategic mind to overcome each challenge.

She subdues bandits and builds her own power; she exposes conspiracies and sets the world to rights;

she cures the prince and finds love.

When the truth about the “Heavenly Maiden” is revealed to the world, those who once bullied, humiliated, and abandoned her will bow at her feet.
