Xia Yan closed her eyes, then opened them again. Forty years had passed.
She had gone from the sole daughter of the Xia family's main branch to a daughter of a distant offshoot, generations removed from the family line.
Who would have thought that familiar faces would still be close at hand?
The young man who had rejected her marriage proposal, even at the cost of ruining his own reputation, was now a bachelor who had never married.
The swaddled baby she had personally placed in someone else's arms had grown up safe and sound into a middle-aged wastrel.
And the new dynasty's royal family turned out to be honorable, holding annual rites and never forgetting the Xia family.
Now that practitioners of the occult arts had fallen into decline, all she wanted was to rely on that small imperial favor and live quietly as an astrologer at the Imperial Observatory.
