Yan Xiaomo

So-called Taisu pulse is a form of physiognomy, which can discern nobility and lowliness, foresee auspicious and ominous events, predict misfortune and fortune. Good sir, do you dare to let me feel your pulse? One pulse reading is worth a thousand gold!
Look, making money is so easy, isn't it?
Ah, phooey!
Living two lives, Qin Liuxi's ideal is always to get by without striving for advancement, because in the world, there are always those who are willing to be lazy and not seek progress, and she is fit for such worthless tasks!
But when a whole family shows up miserably and pitifully in front of her, Qin Liuxi's days as a slacker are over.
Faced with the precarious Qin family in a state of distress, a maid beggar with an empty money box asking for business, Qin Liuxi has no choice but to shoulder the duties of the eldest lady, managing the household, supporting elders, and child-rearing!
Qin Liuxi: I clearly got the script as a slacker, who switched it up?
A cousin who questions her existence after being scolded by the eldest lady: I feel like the big sister looks at us like we're trouble!
Qin Fourth Young Master, who was beaten and taught a lesson by the eldest lady: Be bolder, remove the feeling!
Qin Fifth Young Master, who was lectured into a state of introversion by the eldest lady, solemnly counts on his fingers to answer questions about what the big sister is useless at: She can exorcise demons and ghosts, read faces and draw charms, heal and save people. Oh, which one did you ask about?
Later, someone asked Qin Liuxi, if life could start over, what would her dream be?
Qin Liuxi remained silent for a long time: To not strive for progress and to live for a hundred years!

My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Mu Xi had not seen her since the last time he was angered at Qin Liuxi's place. It was nothing special; he had always been a cherished and pampered individual from childhood. But now, someone was not pandering to him, even clearly drawing a line, and he felt upset about it.


However, this time his upset was different, nobody came to coax or pamper him, so he had to endure the frustration silently.


There was no way around it, he could not reclaim his stance!


Mu Xi did try to seek her out, making excuses to visit Qingping Temple twice, but he was unable to see Qin Liuxi or know her whereabouts. Meanwhile, in the capital, he received a letter every day urging him to return, as the cold weather made the road back to the capital difficult, and it would only get harder if he delayed further.


Yesterday's letter, even more critically, was from the Empress herself, stating if he did not return, she would send the Phoenix Guard to fetch him personally.
