The Frail Beauty's Days as a Charlatan in the Western Han Dynasty

Ye Shuifu x Wei Qing

Ye Shuifu was frail and sickly, so she had no choice but to live with her grandparents in their lush, green hometown in Lingnan. There, she learned a knack for fortune-telling and divination.

Then, one day, while gathering herbs on the mountain, she was struck by lightning and sent to the Western Han dynasty.

To stay alive, Ye Shuifu had to pretend to be a fortune-teller, reading people's fortunes. Her predictions were so uncannily accurate that the young emperor summoned her to Chang'an.

Liu Che was then a bold, spirited young man with grand ambitions. He inclined his head and asked her, "You look quite young. If you have the skill, why not tell us who among the people at this hunting ground has the makings of a great general?"

Everyone present turned to look at Ye Shuifu, secretly hoping her prophecy would point to them.

Her gaze passed over the nobles and officials at the hunting ground, passed over all the promising young men, and settled on a stable hand from the Pingyang Marquis's household, standing far away by the horses.

Ye Shuifu's voice rang out, clear and bright: "In the future, he will be the great general who drives out the Xiongnu and recovers the Hetao Plain."

Liu Che raised an eyebrow. "Wei Qing?"

Ye Shuifu immediately nodded. "Yes, him."

Liu Che summoned Wei Qing and smiled with delight. "See? This young lady has an eye as good as mine. She doesn't seem like the fraud you suspected her of being."

At that, Ye Shuifu widened her eyes and looked reproachfully at Wei Qing. "You called me a fraud?"

Wei Qing: "..."

Later, just as Ye Shuifu had predicted, Wei Qing won battle after battle without a single defeat, becoming a God of War admired by all.

After meeting the emperor that day, Ye Shuifu stayed in Chang'an.

Along the way, she met Zhang Fuyan, Sang Hongyang, Zhang Qian, and others, witnessing countless outstanding talents emerge and write their own legends in this great age.

With her knowledge of history, Ye Shuifu also predicted natural disasters of all kinds, saving countless lives and livelihoods and earning everyone's respect.

Later, Ye Shuifu's health grew worse and worse, and she would cough up blood from time to time. Seeing that she was close to death, she felt grateful to have lived so many years after transmigrating.

Then she realized that things were starting to go wrong, threatening to ruin her hard-won reputation.

Liu Che stood by her sickbed, glaring at the imperial physicians drenched in cold sweat, and flew into a rage: "If Sister Fu dies, none of you will live either. Go die with her!"

Ye Shuifu: "...Please, Your Majesty, calm down!"

No, please don't make her responsible for a massacre! She's just an ordinary person. What has she done to deserve this?

Wei Qing stood silently by her side, staring at her as if he could will her into bloom. "Wherever you go, I'll go too."

Ye Shuifu: "..."

She was practically at death's door. Was he going to follow her to the underworld? Haha, how terrifying.

"..."

So Ye Shuifu, who had already accepted her fate, didn't dare die after all. She was afraid that if she died, the butterfly effect of her arrival would send emperors and generals into a frenzy and throw everything into chaos. She gritted her teeth and lived on, year after year.
