[Cool, otherworldly goddess official Wei Shu of the Directorate of Astrology × the quirky, lively little girl Qian Aku] [Historical romance + premium novel + sweet love + master and disciple + 1v1 + first time for both + happy ending + older man + fictional setting + palace intrigue + coming of age + lighthearted] Lord Wei Shu of the Directorate of Astrology has three talents: playing a fine game of chess, reading a person's fate, and peeling a pear to perfection. Many years after she brought him home, she asked, “Master, you can read the heavens and the earth, and divine the future with tortoise shells and stalks. Did you ever foresee that we'd end up together?” Wei Shu's delicate hand paused slightly over the pear, a glimmer in his eyes. “No.” “You couldn't even figure that out?” She looked rather dejected. “Then what can you figure out?” “I only foresaw that one day a grubby, sticky little girl would come and steal my pears.” He paused, set down the little silver knife, and gazed quietly at her. “And then I'd have to peel pears for her every day.”
