Peaceful Times and Bountiful Years

Synopsis: Also known as She Only Tells Fortunes, and The Flirtatious Couple's Daily Case-Solving. PS: It's sweet, and the whole story is made up. Zhao Xiuhe, heir to the Marquis of Yong'an, was a renowned young gentleman in the capital. He was noble in three ways: his family background, his looks, and his talent. At twenty, he was selected as the top third candidate in the palace examinations, making him every noblewoman's dream lover. Zhao Xiuhe aspired to become a judge, but after twenty years of smooth sailing, he took a hard fall when he met a woman named Song Anshi. When they first met, she claimed to be a hermit. The next time, she was a courtesan. Later, she was a hero of the martial world. Zhao Xiuhe ground his teeth in frustration. Did this woman ever tell the truth? And why was she always trying to cozy up to other people? Song Anshi had told plenty of lies, but her fortune-telling was the one thing that was absolutely true. She had thought she would never see him again in this life, but fate smiled on her, and love did not let them down. A foolish emperor ruled the land, a wicked consort meddled in government, the Imperial Preceptor harbored hidden ambitions, and an emperor's destiny loomed. Storm clouds were gathering. A string of deaths and conspiracies, the legendary witchcraft of Nanqiu, the truth behind a hundred-mile kingdom's destruction, and the mysterious Imperial Preceptor... Dark clouds gathered overhead. Song Anshi had wanted nothing more than a quiet, peaceful life, but she had already been swept into the current. A short scene: Song Anshi exhaled sweetly. “Lord Zhao, what are you doing in my courtyard so late at night?” Zhao Xiuhe replied calmly, “Admiring the moon.” “The moon is always there. Why not admire the flowers as well, my lord?” Zhao Xiuhe turned and studied her for a moment, then smiled. “Not bad.” He left, while Song Anshi stood there, dumbfounded. Song Anshi: ...Was he talking about the moon... or me? What a jerk. Completed novel: The Late Bloom of Life
