"Stay close to me, and you might be able to give birth." He lowered his eyes and said softly.
"Study you, maybe I can win." She raised her eyes and responded.
Since then, metaphysics and science have collided, and predictions and evidence have clashed. She dissects the truth through clues, and he hides his deep feelings in his star chart. When the man behind the scenes finally took off his mask, she faced off against fate in a shocking "scientific trial", while he withheld all his tenderness just to protect the eternal fire of reason in her eyes.
This is a story of using a microscope to confront the astrolabe, using experimental data to interpret the hexagrams, and finally letting the iron law of destiny give way to her.
