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!"
"Oh," Xie Wan smiled faintly, "the point is, I've taken a liking to someone. I'll plan step by step, enticing him, using his influence to establish my family's power, and employing his help to uncover the truth."
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."

Watching Xie Wan leave, Little Quan turned around and retrieved the sign, handing it over to the gatekeeper.


The gatekeeper hesitated. "Shouldn't we leave it standing?"


Little Quan glanced at him and said lightly, "Who do you think the sign is meant for? Since the person is gone, there's no point in keeping it standing."


The gatekeeper realized and said, "I was being foolish, then."


Little Quan nodded and instructed, "These playful words are just a form of amusement between the master and Miss Xie. We, as servants, need to be observant. Do you understand?"


The gatekeeper quickly nodded. "I understand. Next time Miss Xie comes, I promise the sign won't be there."


Satisfied with his response, Little Quan nodded and turned to leave.


When Little Quan returned to the study, Li Yu was already seated at the desk, holding a memorandum and reading. Upon hearing Little Quan enter the room, he calmly asked, "Is she gone?"
