Where Nothing Is Forbidden and Everything Aligns

When Qiu Xinran was young and inexperienced, she once lived in the capital for three years.

At the time, war was raging in the northwest, and the court was in chaos with no one to take charge. Before the entire court, she publicly cast a divination. That single reading sent the long-bedridden heir of the Xia family to the war-torn frontier beyond the passes.

Seven years later, Qiu Xinran returned to Chang’an—just as the once frail heir, now the Marquis of Dingbei, came back victorious with his army.

Gambling houses across the capital opened bets, wagering on when the Marquis of Dingbei would come to settle the score with her.

A few days later, the Marquis of Dingbei stepped into her small teahouse, followed by his attendants.

Qiu Xinran: “My lord, what would you like to have calculated?”

Xia Xiuyan: “My fate in love.”
