Story Role

The Wheel of Time

At the Rose Hotel, Chu Xuan used the Wheel of Time to show Zhuqing her past and a possible future. She learned that the duchess had poisoned her mother and that her father had knowingly allowed it. The projected future also showed Dai Mubai continuing to pursue other women after forming a relationship with her 49.
