"Reading the I Ching to Spot Murder" (Detective Mystery): Historical mystery, episodic, suspense and deduction, traditional historical setting, no golden finger

[May 20 launch]

Xun Shu's main job is carving flowers into coffins, and her side gig is fortune-telling at a street stall. Everything goes smoothly, and nothing is taboo, until she brings a man home.

She thinks she's picked up a god of wealth. Turns out he's a jinx.

From then on, Xun Shu keeps getting dragged into murder cases, and even becomes a suspect herself.

Using her I Ching divination, Xun Shu turns danger into safety and identifies the real culprits, earning herself the title of little goddess.

Just as she is riding high, the coffin shop is attacked. Everyone inside disappears or is presumed dead, and only Xun Shu escapes unscathed.

Every clue points to that jinx, but the man is nowhere to be found.

Grinding her teeth, Xun Shu plots a search for him, while also covering a whole room with talismans to curse the ungrateful, clueless jinx.

Li Xuanhe, Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is ambushed and nearly killed. Wounded, he flees into the mountains, where Xun Shu saves him.

While waiting for his attendants to come to his rescue, he unexpectedly discovers that Xun Shu has countless ties to the Celestial Observatory, which he has been investigating for years.

So he pretends to have amnesia and stays at the coffin shop.

Li Xuanhe has been praised since childhood for being mature beyond his years and steady. Yet at the coffin shop, Xun Shu often drives him to the brink of a tantrum, and he actually rather likes it.

Until the day disaster strikes the coffin shop.

He arrives a step too late and loses track of her.

That day, the weather was clear and the sky a brilliant blue.

Xun Shu, the last disciple of the Celestial Observatory, gazed calmly at Li Xuanhe, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who had spent years searching for the Observatory, and said earnestly:

“If I told you it wasn't me, would you believe me?”

[A gentle, honest, occasionally sharp-tongued young spirit medium heroine x a mature, steady hero who often gets flustered and impatient because of her]
