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.

Additionally, with officials frequenting the tavern daily, any potential troublemakers would think twice.


Rushi's eyes brightened. "Your thoughts are comprehensive, Miss. But, are you certain the Chu family will agree to this?"


Is She Mad?
