The Great Yu Dynasty revered the Dao and worshipped immortals. Yun Shu, the cold and ethereal Imperial Preceptor, never made a mistake in her divinations. The people revered her as a deity, but she alone aroused the Empress Dowager’s suspicion. Feng Qiwu, the arrogant and overbearing Princess Fengyi, was ordered by the Empress Dowager to go undercover beside Yun Shu and find proof that she was “putting on a show with fake magic.” But through their repeated clashes and tests, Feng Qiwu was captivated by the wisdom and kindness of this “fraudulent Imperial Preceptor.” The spy who had set out to cause trouble became her utterly devoted loyalist. The court was rife with intrigue, and the Empress Dowager’s ambition to seize power was plain to see. Yun Shu plotted through divination, while Feng Qiwu used her rank as princess as a shield. Together, they overcame every crisis and helped the young emperor take the reins of government. When the dust finally settled, the aloof Imperial Preceptor shed her robes, and the pampered princess gave up her privilege. The two withdrew to the mountains, living freely amid the clouds, year after year.
