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."

At the mention of this, Dowager Empress Chen's expression immediately changed. She frowned at Xie Wan and asked, "Lone Star of the Heaven's Doom? Harming one's parents?"


Even in the modern era with the spread of scientific knowledge, beliefs in fortune telling and destiny still persisted. For example, if a woman lost two husbands, it was commonly believed that she brought misfortune to them. This was true even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.


Xie Wan, with her unfortunate background and deceased parents, seemed to fit the description of someone who would bring harm to her parents.


While Xie Wan might still be able to defend herself against other accusations, this matter was different. Her response would be futile.


Princess Royal smiled awkwardly and said, "Mother, it's all just coincidences. Where did the Lone Star of the Heaven's Doom and harming parents come from?"
