Synopsis
The green bamboo asks about heaven's secrets, and the water mirror reveals destiny. A female fortune teller enters the world with her magic and writes a legend in this troubled world. Xu Fu was the only female disciple of the hermit Huang Shigong in Yingshan. She followed her master to practice physiognomy and fortune-telling since she was a child. She is gifted with the ability to sense heavenly secrets through green bamboo and peer into the future with water mirrors. A chance to save her life led her to form a connection with Pei Yue, the prime minister's son. Little did she know that this seemingly simple encounter was actually a fateful stroke of fate. The fortune teller of the previous dynasty left a hexagram before his death: "The golden palace is in danger during the three autumns, the secret of heaven is beginning to dawn, the green bamboo approaches the emperor's palace, and the purple energy enters the nine courtyards." This hexagram has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is difficult for the world to understand its meaning. Some words are celestial phenomena, some words are prophecies, and some words are the situation set by the fortune tellers of the previous dynasty. Over the past hundred years, the art of physiognomy has been on the rise, and everyone wants to get a glimpse of the secrets. Now the Yu Dynasty has gone through eighty years. On the surface, it is calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. There are foreign cavalry in the north, watching eagerly, and there are kings in the south who are separatist and self-reliant, and the eight princes are fighting openly and secretly. Everyone in the government and the public is inquiring: What kind of secrets are hidden in the tomb of the imperial master? Where does this Yu Chaoqi number go? Xu Fu originally wanted to use physiognomy to discern destiny, but he discovered through repeated deductions that the secrets of heaven are mysterious and the human heart is even more unpredictable. Every hexagram you see is the result of destiny; every calculation you make is the result of the human mind's difficulty. However, when the tomb of the Imperial Master was opened, she realized that her choice was not only related to her own destiny, but also related to the world. When the green bamboo trembles and the water mirror shines, are you following destiny or rewriting destiny? Let's see how this unique female fortune-teller can see through the secrets of heaven and understand people's hearts in this chaotic world... Intent: The hexagrams carry predictions about the future and look back at the trajectory of history. The fear and hope brought by the prophecy are not only a choice to comply with destiny, but also a test of stubborn resistance, forming a profound trial for the human heart. I hope that through this book, I can think more about the relationship between fate and free will, as well as the weight of human nature and choice in the great torrent of historical process.
