On the night of a lunar eclipse, Xie Wan was marked as the ill-fated lone star.
Growing up in a Taoist temple, Xie Wan returned home to find herself without her parents. She faced external threats from vicious wolves while dealing with younger brothers crying for food.
To make matters worse, her biased grandmother had her heart set on driving Xie Wan out of the residence.
A certain man said, "Enough with the preambles, get to the point!"

The man wasn't pleased, "Aren't you supposed to seize the opportunity and take me down?"
Xie Wan replied calmly, "No hurry, no hurry. What's in the bowl won't go cold, even if we wait to eat it later."
The man retorted, "I feel pretty urgent though."

Hearing this, Li Yu furrowed his brow and replied in a cold tone, "I am merely carrying out His Majesty's orders to make an appearance and demonstrate favor toward the Ma family. What does that have to do with her?"


Little Quan's lips twitched upon hearing his response.


He had already decided not to go, even refusing His Majesty's attempts at persuasion. However, upon hearing that the Marquis Yongyu's carriage had left for the Duke of Ma's residence and suddenly changed his mind to display favor, Little Quan could only think, "As long as Master is content."


The front courtyard of the Duke of Ma's residence remained bustling. Xie Wan's departure had not caused much of a stir among the male guests. A few jesters made playful remarks, but under the icy gaze of Ma Yuheng, their words quickly subsided.


The festivities continued undeterred in the outer area, and the elders' seats within the main hall were no exception.


Nonsense!
