share time: 2025-12-04 06:01:31

When the famine hit and no crops grew, Lin Sanniang, a widow with three children, was on the verge of death. She stumbled upon a tattered copy of *I Ching Divination Essentials* left by her late husband. Trying to use the hexagrams, she helped a villager find a lost ox—and succeeded. Then she used the “Shui Ze Jie” hexagram to locate a spring behind the mountain, solving the village’s water crisis. Gradually, villagers gave her grain and meat in exchange for divination, making the Lin family the only one with abundant food in the famine. But then, a landlord from a neighboring village accused her of “using witchcraft to deceive people,” and officials came to arrest her. Looking at her trembling children, Sanniang clutched the book—she was about to reveal the secret: her late husband was a runaway astronomy official, and the hexagrams were just laws of celestial movement! Can she prove her innocence with wisdom and keep her family fed?
