The Occult Master Is a Stand-In

The day Shen Qingli was cast out by her family, all of the capital waited to laugh at the fake heiress.

But she turned around and inherited the lost orthodox teachings of the Mystic Sect, becoming a powerhouse whom even the top elite families begged for a reading.

Her former fiancé brought their marriage contract and begged to reconcile. She burned it to ashes in front of everyone. “I’ve read your fortune. You’re lacking in virtue, and you’re not worthy.”

Her birth parents knelt at her door and wept. She tossed a handful of incense ash at them. “The blood debt is repaid. We owe each other nothing.”

Then the head of the Gu family, who controlled half the empire’s lifelines, laid his entire fortune before her. “Qingli, tell me, what am I missing in my fate?”

She counted on her fingers and pondered for a moment.

“…It seems your fate is missing me.”

Gu Shenzhi chuckled. “As it happens, I had a reading done. Your fate has me in it.”
