   "This time the blood seems even thicker..." I wonder if he'll even make it to his 20s? Yun Wulian was born into a wealthy family, the youngest child, showered with love and affection. He was also a recognized genius painter in the art world, but unfortunately, he was frail from childhood, constantly panting and coughing, a sickly child raised on medicine. When he was ten, his parents took him to a temple to offer incense and they met a fortune teller. The fortune teller, with white hair and a grey robe, had an air of otherworldly wisdom. Upon seeing Yun Wulian, he shook his head and sighed, saying that he was destined for a calamity and wouldn't live past 20. Yun Wulian didn't react; he'd heard such things many times. His companion, Xie Jinye, however, was furious. He broke off a bamboo stick and chased the fortune teller halfway up the mountain, cursing and swearing, finally returning with a bunch of wildflowers. He handed each flower to Yun Wulian, asking, "Little flowers, will my precious baby live to be a hundred?" Then he took a deep breath and blew hard on the flowers from top to bottom. The flowers nodded in the breeze. Little Bamboo Horse tilted his head, beaming, and replied in a voice like Shin-chan's, "Yes, yes, your little darling will definitely live to be a hundred!" Ten-year-old Yunwu Lian counted each flower she received. No more, no less. Exactly one hundred flowers.

    Reader note

    This novel with no female lead and two male leads in the Three Kingdoms period is absolutely amazing! [Top Post] The sickly strategist Zhou Yu is both beautiful and tragically strong, coughing up blood while setting traps for Cao Cao. [Sending Heart] Sun Ce and Zhou Yu break the historical regret with a happy ending. Zhou Yu, carrying a prophecy of life and death, seeks revenge alone to protect Sun Ce, while Sun Ce, realizing this, sacrifices himself to shield him from a poisoned arrow, protecting him in both directions. The plot unfolds with both political intrigue (building the foundation of Jiangdong) and romance, featuring memorable scenes that are deeply moving, and the logic is sound. The more you read, the more addictive it becomes as you break free from fate and build peace together, making it incredibly compelling to keep reading.
