"Master Yu," she changed the topic, "You said earlier that Xiao Wen's parent palace is affected by the black energy from the official career and life palaces... what exactly does that mean?"

"The official career palace shows a person's career, and the life palace relates to the overall development of one's fate." Yu Yuan looked at Wen He, who was still watching her. "The parent palace being affected by black energy from those two means your career is declining, and so is your life line. The reason your parents had a car accident is linked to your career."

She seemed to be guiding Wen He to recall that day, "This influence could be obvious and straightforward, or as small as dust. Think carefully about what happened that day."

Wen He hesitated, pressing her lips tight.

Her parents were university professors, both top experts in foreign language translation. After her career took off, they had moved to an unknown small town abroad to retire, following a promise they made when young.

This business trip of hers was partly to catch up on work, but more so to visit her parents who'd been in the car accident.

Neighbors said that on the day of the accident, her parents seemed to be going to see someone...

Suddenly Wen He understood. "Could the person my parents were going to see be related to my career?"

Her words didn't quite connect logically, leaving Sister Ren confused. But Yu Yuan understood and nodded, "Exactly. Your career has been developing overseas these past two years. The person your parents were going to see is an old friend of theirs, whose daughter is a very famous director abroad. If you can earn the favor of that director, your overseas career will surely take off."

Originally, her career luck should have developed that way. Unfortunately, before she left for abroad, she stayed at a hotel haunted by a powerful ghost.

Yu Yuan sipped her tea. The cool bitterness mixed with a hint of sweetness slowly dissolved in her mouth.

Since absorbing those merits yesterday, she not only could see the aura colors on people but also the changes in their aura and the patterns before the change.

For example, right now, she could clearly see the original trajectory of Wen He's career.

Originally, she should have caught a lucky break with that famous foreign editor, landing a small but super likable role in a globally hit movie, gaining a whole bunch of character fans. Then, riding that momentum, she'd keep popping up in various international films until eventually becoming the lead actress in a women's movie, shining endlessly from there on.

But crossing between her present and future was a very clear black line, looking like a terrifying yin-yang face. One half represented her glorious past and the bright future she should've had; the other half was a mass of unclear black energy, layering over all her features.

Wen He silently stared at the table, emotions swirling in her eyes. Sister Ren comfortingly patted her shoulder and asked the question Wen He wanted to know most, "Master Yu, will the black energy in Xiao Wen's official career and life palaces keep affecting the parent palace?"

"..." Wen He pressed her lips tight, nervously lifting her head.

"Not necessarily." Yu Yuan glanced at the subtle changes in Wen He's aura color. "The twelve palaces of the face are closely connected. The official career and life palaces are already full of black energy; it's only a matter of time before other palaces get affected, too."

"What can we do?!" Sister Ren's voice shot up. "Master Yu, we're all in the industry. You must know how hard it's been for Xiao Wen to get this far! Can you please find a way to help us?"

As she spoke, she reached into her bag for a bank card again.

Yu Yuan waved off the card Sister Ren offered. "One card is enough. We'll talk money after I clear the black energy on her."

"Sister, don't say anything yet." Wen He pulled the standing Sister Ren back down, signaling her to be quiet, then asked, "Master, you already figured out that I encountered a ghost at the hotel, right... I want to know if my current situation is because of that ghost incident?"

Yu Yuan didn't hesitate. "Yes."

Her gaze dropped to Wen He's shoulder.

People have three yang fires; Wen He's two had already been extinguished. Only the yang fire on her head was still barely holding on.

If that fire went out, her condition would be much worse than it was now.

"..." Wen He pressed her lips tight, thinking of how zombie-like she'd been these past few days, her eyes turning cold.

Half a month ago, the day before her business trip, she flew back from another city. A storm delayed her flight, so she got to the hotel very late, only to be told they had the wrong room number and she was assigned a different room.

Although it was super frustrating, she was too tired to care, so she just stayed in the room the hotel gave her.

The hotel even sent her steak and a fruit platter as an apology, but she was too exhausted to eat and just put them in the fridge. After showering, she went to bed—until she was woken up in the middle of the night.

"I remember clearly, it was three in the morning," Wen He squinted, recalling that night. Usually, thinking back made the back of her neck tingle with regret and unease, but this time, there was none of that discomfort.

She credited Yu Yuan for the change and kept going.

"I usually sleep lightly, but because of all the back-and-forth flying, I was totally wiped out. I fell asleep and when I woke up, I habitually glanced at the clock beside my pillow — exactly 3 a.m. I was glad I could get more sleep, but as soon as I closed my eyes, the room felt way too cold. Maybe I wasn't naturally awake but frozen awake. Right after, I heard faint chewing sounds coming from the room."

Wen He's expression didn't change much—more annoyance than fear. "I thought there was a mouse in the room, so I planned to ask hotel staff to switch my room."

It was a quiet night, but the air conditioning in the room was freezing. She didn't get up to turn on the main light, just the bedside lamp.

The hotel was five stars, and she booked a luxury suite. For easy access to drinks, the fridge was tucked in one corner of the room.

What a coincidence — the moment she switched on the bedside lamp, that faint chewing sound instantly vanished.

"I thought the light scared the mouse away," Wen He said, rubbing her forehead. "But when I sat up to change clothes and look for the staff to switch rooms, I suddenly saw a shadow standing by the fridge in the corner."
