Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth who had managed Heaven's fortunes for thousands of years, accidentally touches the mortal glow within a colored-glass lantern and transmigrates to modern society. Arriving in the human world, he's amazed by novelties like QR-code payments, skyscrapers, and cars. In everyday life, he also witnesses the many sides of humanity: a stranger's six-yuan kindness at a convenience store, a market vendor's scheme to shortchange customers, the greed of livestreamers peddling fake goods, and the get-rich-quick fantasies spun by "wealth boot camps." He also sees the noodle shop owner Old Li sincerely helping others day after day for three years, as well as the heartfelt gratitude shared between sanitation workers and students.
With his "Fortune Eye," which can discern the auras of "wealth," "greed," and "integrity," and a treasure-gathering box at his side, Zhao Gongming walks the streets of the modern world as both observer and participant. Again and again, he exposes money scams, and again and again, he's touched by the warmth of ordinary people. Gradually, he realizes that modern people's pursuit of wealth often goes astray because of limited understanding and the blindness of greed. So he stops being a passive observer and uses his millennia of wisdom as the keeper of fortune to subtly share the "true meaning of wealth" with those around him: true wealth never comes from speculation or trickery. It comes from matching one's knowledge, being grounded in integrity, and working with one's own hands. It also requires gratitude, an understanding of one's limitations, and staying true to oneself. Amid the amusing and insightful episodes of his journey through the human world, Zhao Gongming helps ordinary people like Aunt Zhang and a young man avoid pitfalls, and helps them understand the wisdom of "living steadily and winning through understanding." He, too, gains a whole new understanding of "fortune" and "the human heart."
3":"In the Age of Declining Dharma, the path of cultivation comes down to one word: sincerity. A mayfly's dream, and I wish to spend this life seeing every view along the path. Through every life, I will never regret it...
4":"Meng Zhaoxue is an outstanding graduate of Huaguo University of Political Science and Law. She never expected to get into a car accident on her way home from her graduation ceremony and end up transmigrating into a novel about female cultivators, as a nameless side character who shares her name. Feeling a little helpless in a world of cultivation where strength rules all, she can only work hard to cultivate into an immortal and push herself to the limit to escape her fate. But then the heroine starts clinging to her.
Xiahou Chuner: "Sister Zhaozhao, I want a cuddle."
Yelin gazes at her with his big, doe-like eyes: "Zhaozhao, I want a cuddle."
Meng Zhaoxue is close to tears. She just wants to cultivate! Why are they all coming after her? "Hey, aren't you the Emperor? And don't you like the heroine?"
Yelin looks aggrieved. "Zhaozhao is trying to push me onto someone else."
5":"After transmigrating into a book as a cannon-fodder character, Yao Yue just wants to survive!
Don't get close to the heroine, or you'll end up miserable. Don't provoke the hero, or he'll refine you into a human pill!
What? If the heroine dies, the Host is doomed! If the hero's favorability is too low, the Host dies?!
With no choice, Yao Yue, who'd planned to lie low until the ending, has to take a knife for the heroine and help the hero recover from his injuries...
She takes on the role of caretaker and accepts the fate of a supporting female character!
Just as she's beginning to question her life...
The gentle heroine brings her chestnut cakes, and a laid-back young man bluntly asks for a hug.
The senior disciple pesters her all day to discuss the art of alchemy, while a certain sect leader keeps wanting to dual cultivate!
Has she even become the Demon Realm's lord's personal tool?
Wait! When did the plot go so far off track?"}
