Protagonist: Ji Qingqing
[Modern setting + mysticism + fortune-telling + feng shui + gossip + comedy + coming of age]
It was the 999th day since the Taoist temple went bankrupt. Even the ancestral incense burner had been sold as scrap metal.
The master kicked Ji Qingqing and her fellow disciples down the mountain:
“From today on, all of you are going down the mountain to ‘beg for alms.’ Remember: if you don’t earn enough money, don’t bother coming back to freeload off your master!”
With the weakest cultivation in the temple, Ji Qingqing had no choice but to “stage an accident” in front of a design firm’s owner. She ended up as the feng shui consultant included with a wealthy family’s renovation project.
To her surprise, her ability to understand animals opened up a new path in fortune-telling. She became the leading feng shui master in the dog world and climbed to the peak of success.
“Master, what does my beagle’s face say?”
Ji Qingqing: “Your dog’s floppy ears open the gates of wealth, and its even markings keep misfortune away. This is a truly exceptional beagle face!”
“Master, why does my husky keep tearing up the house?”
Ji Qingqing: “A few sticks of huanghuali wood for it to chew on should solve the problem.”
“Master, why does my little White keep getting sick?”
Ji Qingqing: “Change its name to Little Black. Balance yin and yang, and blessings will last for ages.”
Ji Qingqing thought she could keep coasting by mooching off wealthy families.
Then she joined a variety show called “16 Days in the Wilderness with Pets,” and a hugely popular celebrity who was also a guest suddenly showed up, claiming to be her family.
Ji Qingqing: “You say I’m your real daughter? But you all look like bad people to me...”
She went home with her doubts and watched the people she was supposed to call family. A massive conspiracy gradually came to light.
Very good, you can chase it, no cp? Never have a male protagonist
