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

Qin Liuxi stood motionless; Housekeeper Jiang noticed and followed her gaze, his face subtly changing.  


Qin Liuxi withdrew her gaze and continued to walk forward, conversing with the house ghost, "Something's not right. You said Miss Xiao fell for that Fusheng just over two months ago. Even if we count from the longest estimate, Fusheng would only be dead for at most a couple of months, making her merely a new ghost. But for a new ghost, no matter how resentful or hateful, this intense evil aura is abnormal, strong enough to affect the Qi Fortune of the entire mansion."  


The house ghost replied, "What you say is true, sir. I have been haunting this estate for thirty or forty years; you can call me an old ghost. At first, I didn't notice anything, but as time passed, the resentful energy from Miss Xiao's quarters grew deeper, as though some frightful presence had arrived. I don't dare to get close."
