The Crown Princess Is Born Under an Ominous Star

No one told Xie Qiao that being born into a new life could hit this hard. She ended up sickly and frail.

Luckily, she has maxed-out affinity: the animals she raises can fight, and every medicinal herb she plants takes root.

She can make talismans and read faces, cut off unwanted romantic entanglements, tell fortunes and read qi, and assess feng shui.

She can also play music, play chess, paint and write, carve, cook, and earn piles of silver.

She even gets whisked home by the Crown Prince.

“I hear the Crown Princess has been a jinx on her family since childhood, and is doomed to die young. If she marries the Crown Prince, she may end up costing him his life too. She’ll be kicking the bucket before long!” A piece of court gossip from the capital.

N years later.

“Great-grandfather Emperor, Great-grandmother Empress, someone else secretly bet today on whether you’ve kicked the bucket yet!”
