After working overtime until 2:17 a.m., Ji Xuan died at his desk. When he opened his eyes again, he was the sixth prince of the Xuanxiao Empire and the capital's number-one wastrel: three thousand taels in gambling debts, only one hundred and forty-two taels left in the treasury, and seven brothers waiting for him to die.
Embedded in his brow was a star marrow, home to a sharp-tongued remnant soul. It taught him how to draw on starlight, and how to hide his power. The price was clearly stated: each use burned away a year of his lifespan.
He didn't try to seize the throne. When Steward Zhao came to his door demanding repayment, Ji Xuan dug up a law and turned the tables on the usurer charging ninety percent interest. He turned three unprofitable shops into a warehouse, and gave away a bottle of fragrant dew instead of selling it. He started a weekly bulletin at the estate, reconciled the books every three days, and required signatures for every transaction.
There was only one thing he truly wanted to do: save enough money to send the girl with a Starfall body, whose life flame had only three years left, to the Lingxiao Realm. But the Emperor had been in seclusion for two years. After emerging, he spent only half a day before making Ji Xuan the Marquis of Jingbei and ordering him to take up his post within ten days.
