Zhan Xi, the young lord of Prince Chun’s manor, suddenly fell gravely ill. A master performed a divination and discovered Lin Ruan in the impoverished and chaotic area beyond Qihua Gate.
The master informed Prince Chun’s manor that Lin Ruan had a favorable fate that could ensure Zhan Xi’s prosperity and fame.
He also told the Lin family that Lin Ruan’s fate was good and that he would become a fujin (princess consort) in the future, living a life of wealth and honor.
So, after exchanging silver, Lin Ruan was sold to Zhan Xi as a child bride.
However, within just a few years, the Qing dynasty collapsed. Zhan Xi lost his title and stipend. His status plummeted, and he left Prince Chun’s manor with only a few people.
Lin Ruan thought, “Sure enough, feudal superstition really can’t be trusted.”
Pairing: Elegant, scheming heir of the fallen Qing royal family (gong) x Odd-minded, adorable, pitiful shou.
