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."

On the second day, Xie Wan took Wang Pu and Rushi to Magnolia Tower. Rushi seemed to have an inherent dislike for Wang Pu, constantly picking at his faults in speech and behavior. Xie Wan had never seen Rushi be so impolite to someone before, and she found it somewhat intriguing. Adding to that, Rushi's critiques did have some validity. So, she gave Wang Pu a "good luck" look and followed Rushi.


To Xie Wan's surprise, the person Lady Chu brought was the chief of the Ministry of Works' construction department. Although he was only a seventh-ranked official, he was responsible for royal construction projects, and his involvement in renovating Magnolia Tower seemed excessive.


This showed that Lady Chu highly valued their first collaboration with Xie Wan.


Since Lady Chu's attitude was clear, Xie Wan naturally couldn't just delegate everything. The three of them spent the entire day discussing how to renovate Magnolia Tower, including the materials, craftsmanship, and more.
