Since the day Pei Mi was born, a young lady only she could see had told her every day that her father would grow up to be a great villainous official.
Pei Mi did not understand what a villainous official was. She only heard that her father would become a high-ranking official, and was thrilled. But the young lady said that villainous officials in high positions would die.
So, not wanting her father to die, Pei Mi began getting in the way of his rise through the ranks.
As it happened, Pei Qingnan skipped work that day and narrowly avoided a bridge collapse on the route he would have taken.
Pei Qingnan disobeyed orders and opened the granaries to save people. Suddenly, he became the local official who stood out most in disaster relief.
A down-and-out scholar whom he had helped with all his family’s savings transformed into the richest man in the land and insisted on repaying him.
The emperor: Pei, you are truly a pillar of the Li Dynasty.
Everyone else: Bah, what a sycophant.
Only Pei Qingnan, holding his daughter and gloating, thought his precious girl really brought him good luck!
