At the entrance to an old alley in Linzhou sits a strange fortune-telling stall. Its owner, Lin Yan, looks like a young man who’s given up on life, but his sign reads: “Half-Immortal Lin Yan. No charge if I get it wrong. If my tongue’s too sharp, don’t start trouble.” When a rich kid smashes up his stall, Lin Yan curses him out: “Your face is dark with misfortune. Your dad’s going to break your legs this afternoon. Oh, right, because you poured his treasured Moutai over goji berries!” That afternoon, a video of the rich kid being chased by his father takes over Linzhou’s trending searches.
An influencer tries to fake a supernatural encounter for clicks. Lin Yan rolls his eyes. “With a face like yours, you’ve bought every follower you have. It’s only a matter of time before you’re exposed. Keep riding the occult trend, and next month you’ll be livestreaming tears and apologies!” Less than half a month later, the influencer is caught using edited photos to spread lies, and their livestream audience drops below a hundred.
From then on, “Sharp-Tongued Fortune Teller Lin Yan” becomes a sensation. But no one knows that his seemingly casual insults are precise predictions based on the laws of fate, or that beneath his slacker exterior lies the legacy of an occult family and the secret of how his family was framed ten years ago. As he helps people break curses, correct their feng shui, and expose the mastermind, the conspiracy from years ago gradually comes to light. Those who crossed him have already paid a price far more painful than his insults, just as his “sharp-tongued prophecies” foretold.
