The Great Zhao Kingdom has a prince who is handsome, rich, and powerful. But the prince is cursed by fate. The Buddha-like Prince of Qidu has gone off the rails, and his subordinates are beside themselves.
Dongzhi knows just about everything there is to know about the occult, but it seems the one thing she cannot accurately predict is her fate with Xie Yanzhao.
"My lord, I read faces, tell fortunes, predict marriages, cast divinations, observe the stars, and assess feng shui. I'm skilled at my work and charge the same for young and old."
Xie Yanzhao: "Then tell me, what is unusual about my fate?"
Dongzhi smiled brightly. "You're fated to be missing me."
