[Drama queen fortune-teller just trying to survive x scheming, dark-hearted eldest prince]
One-on-one, both leads devoted only to each other, happy ending. Chasing-her-back-to-the-crematorium + a tiny bit of court intrigue.
On her first day after transmigrating into a book, Wen Shuci became the youngest Director of Astronomy at the Grand Astrologer’s Bureau: the sacrificial kind.
A colleague was strangled. She was kicked unconscious.
Before she died, she hurled a threat at the unhinged eldest prince: “You’ll come begging me.”
The next day, he called for an imperial physician.
The third day, she tried to escape and got pinned to the threshold by an arrow.
The fourth day, the ground collapsed, and they both fell into a pit.
She turned around and found herself saddled with tens of millions in debt, then turned back and saw a little ghost.
In the end, Wen Shuci suddenly realized she might actually make it to the finale alive.
Because now she was a top-tier fortune-teller. Not a fraud.
It feels pretty good. I'm looking forward to the later scene where the male protagonist will be slapped in the face by the female protagonist. I'm also looking forward to the crematorium of chasing his wife. The female protagonist's baby must not forgive anyone. Why are both parties plotting against her?
