The Little Fortune-Teller

[Clever, mischievous little oracle x cunning, sharp-tongued head constable]

After her cruel stepmother forced her into marriage and got her killed in her previous life, Zhu Qinghe was reborn just before her prospective groom's family came to propose.

She feigned madness and foolishness to ruin the match and her reputation, then moved out of the family home with an excuse.

Her stepmother and stepsister were overjoyed. The family fortune would belong to the two of them now.

But then they turned around and saw that Zhu Qinghe had taken the most valuable shop and opened a fortune-telling business.

Stepmother and stepsister: Whatever! Her? She'll lose every last coin.

Instead, Zhu Qinghe prospered at every turn, making a fortune and even earning the Emperor's favor.

Stepmother and stepsister (grinding their teeth, faces twisted):

She just got lucky. It's no big deal. With a reputation like hers, she'll never find a husband!

It was said that the Prime Minister's son could read and write at three and fight at five, a peerless prodigy.

The Prime Minister was holding a matchmaking banquet, open to all women of marriageable age.

Naturally, the stepmother and stepsister weren't going to miss the opportunity.

At the banquet, a tall, handsome man with striking features and an icy bearing smiled warmly at the person beside him.

The stepsister stared at him, lovestruck, then widened her eyes.

Why did the woman beside the Prime Minister's son look so much like her good-for-nothing older stepsister?!

The people of Licheng had barely recovered from learning that the famous fortune-teller Sai was actually a woman when...

Sai was about to marry into the Prime Minister's household.

Everyone was heartbroken. So Sai was just another person who looked down on the poor and worshipped the powerful.

Zhu Qinghe protested that when she met him, he really was just a junior constable!

[What kind of official's son comes to our backwater to work as a constable? And I actually fell for him. Unbelievable.]
