Synopsis

Synopsis:

Shen Zhao, a female official in the Ministry of Revenue, is gentle and respectful in public, but behind closed doors, her brush is as sharp as a blade. Among countless account books, she uncovers a shocking secret. On the surface, she audits the empire's finances; in truth, she is investigating the bloody massacre that wiped out the Imperial Observatory twenty years ago. When missing tax revenues lead to an imperial examination scandal, and sparks of ominous foreboding flicker before a blank memorial stele, she realizes she has already stepped into a game of strategy with the fate of the dynasty at stake.

Pei Yan, Vice Minister of Personnel, hides the icy identity of the master of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion beneath his refined, gentle exterior. Ordered to keep watch on her, he finds himself falling for her again and again, lost in the galaxy in her eyes whenever she looks up. He holds secret star charts that can decide who lives and dies, yet he cannot calculate the course of his own heart when she takes up the bloodstained ledgers of the Ministry of Revenue and faces him across the table in a battle of wits.

From the click of an abacus to a shocking upheaval at the observatory, from a labyrinth of figures to an abyss of memory. When the truth tears open on the night Mars guards the heart, she wields a broken compass as a blade. What she cleaves through is not only the fog surrounding a blood feud, but also a world imprisoned by "heaven's will" for a thousand years.

Romance for the heroine is optional. I just want her to be very familiar with the Underworld and have good relationships there. The Underworld’s residents can be afraid to mess with her, or she can be their favorite. She should know lots of powerful people, whether in Heaven, the Underworld, or the human world.

I once read an ancient-setting novel on Fanqie that was about metaphysics and fortune-telling, with a female lead. I can't remember the details, but I do recall that she met a prince and had him deliver a strand of purple qi to someone. Please, fellow readers, help me remember the title!
