Timid Heroine × Trouble-Making Hero
Wen Yueshi, a history student who worked herself to death on her thesis, was reborn as the only daughter of the sole rainmaker in ancient Yuzhou.
Unfortunately, the rainmaker died just as she arrived.
Naturally, the responsibility fell to her.
Wen Yueshi knew Yuzhou inside out. It was the very subject of her historical research.
According to history, a drought once came close to bringing down the dynasty.
By drawing on Yuzhou's history and climate, Wen Yueshi not only managed to fool everyone but also became famous. Her title, the Divine Maiden, even reached the capital.

Jian Bufan, Prince of Kang and son of the current dynasty's Grand Princess, was raised with such care that he didn't become healthy until he was six. At eight, he beat up the Crown Prince; at ten, he cut up an imperial edict. No one dared provoke him, and he made a name for himself at a young age.
On one more visit to the palace to hide from a beating and make a complaint, he was given a task.
There was a Divine Maiden in Yuzhou, and he was to go undercover and investigate her.
He could escape a beating and travel around enjoying the scenery in broad daylight. Jian Bufan agreed at once and packed his bags for Yuzhou that very night.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a surging crowd. On a distant platform stood someone wearing a dark mask, with a green snake dangling from her left ear and a red one from her right, performing a spirit-summoning ritual. The people below danced along, their faces alight with excitement.
Jian Bufan thought, "So this is the Divine Maiden? She's just putting on a show and pretending to be supernatural. I'll expose her true face sooner or later."
Jian Bufan swept away in a huff. He went to the address his uncle had given him, and had just finished writing a letter when a woman walked into the clinic, her features as lovely as a painting and her manner as gentle as flowing water.
The female doctor smiled as soon as she saw her. "Is anything troubling you, Miss Wen? I'll go get Divine Physician Ling right away."
After the doctor left, Jian Bufan asked around and learned that this was the very Divine Maiden who had performed the ritual that day!
She really did have some kind of magic. She could bewitch people and steal their souls!
Jian Bufan clutched his chest and solemnly rewrote his letter: Uncle, she is a demon. I must eliminate her.
Six months later, Jian Bufan wrote again: Uncle, it was a misunderstanding. Yueshi is gentle and lovely. I want to marry her.
