Summary
My family carries the bloodline of the Physiognomist, able to divine the fickleness of life and death.
My Eldest Sister discerns good and evil in people, my Second Sister knows the span of their lives, and I can see how others will meet their end.
Only Fourth Sister was adopted; all she knows is how to cling to my leg.
After my father died, the Emperor bestowed marriages upon us.
During the husband selection in the grand hall, Eldest Sister and Second Sister chose the Imperial Uncle and the Crown Prince, leaving only the Chancellor and the General.
Fourth Sister knelt and begged me to tell her who would have the best fate.
I pointed to the Chancellor.
But Fourth Sister did not believe I was telling the truth, and hurried to choose the Young General, who was fond of me.
She thought herself clever, believing I was holding something back.
But she did not know that the first time I saw her, I saw that she would die by my hand.
