The Yuan family has a long tradition of learning.

Yet Yuan Xi, after suffering a life-and-death calamity, spends years deep in the mountains with her grandfather.

She inherits the family's legacy, and the young phoenix takes flight. A favorable wind lifts me to the clouds!

A life-and-death trial, the appearance of a true dragon: when the moment comes, I shall soar to the heavens!

She studies fate and physiognomy, geomancy and feng shui, searching for dragon veins and auspicious burial sites, enhancing good fortune and dispelling evil influences.

Ritual implements and talismans, feng shui formations, ancestral and residential sites, true dragon lairs and auspicious grounds.

The art of reading qi: by observing qi, one can judge prosperity and decline, fortune and misfortune. Red signifies wealth, purple signifies nobility, and black signifies calamity.

This is the story of a young woman in a modern city who gradually grows into the greatest Imperial Astrologer.

He is born to unspeakable nobility, with the Ziwei star in his destiny palace.

Outwardly gracious and aristocratic, he smiles and speaks pleasantly, but in truth he is unfathomable, ruthless, and vicious.

Better that I betray the world than let the world betray me.

He is a thoroughly selfish man, with cold blood running through his veins.

Before he met her, he never knew he could love someone so much that he would humble himself to the lowest depths.

He watches her, unmoved and calm as still water, a trace of desolation in her cool demeanor, yet she never once looks back.

I gave her everything, everything I had. Could she… could she spare me a single glance?

The road to winning her heart is long, but my resolve is iron.
