So I've been staying up late these past few days to read this book, and I highly recommend it… "After Returning to the Capital, the Divine Fortune Teller's Name Spreads Throughout the Land" She changes the feng shui for the Imperial Concubine by day and calculates the nation's fortune for the Emperor by night, her appearance fee calculated according to the dragon veins. - At the family banquet, she calculates with her fingers: "My third uncle's mistress is giving birth today; should we bring a paternity test as a congratulatory gift?" - When the entire capital bets she wouldn't live past eighteen, she laughs and accepts ten thousand taels of gold from the richest man: "Don't worry, I can outlive everyone here." Classic quote: "Mother, your face looks dark today; I suggest buying a few more coffins—" "After all, your three sons will all be kneeling and begging me to prolong their lives tonight!"
