The Tidebone Lantern

[Divine Bones · Lantern-Bearer · Face-Slapping · Farming · Feel-Good Power Fantasy] Li Tudou is the most useless laborer in the Qingxi Li clan. Not a single bone marking has appeared in his bones. He chops wood and hauls water, and can't even protect half a steamed bun made from spirit rice. His cousin steps on his sister's hand and sneers in front of the entire clan: “A loser like you thinks you deserve spirit rice?” He says nothing. That night, he finds a bone lantern in a mass grave. When the lantern lights, he sees bone markings throughout the courtyard: his cousin's fatal weakness, the clan leader's old injury, and the debts etched into bone on the night the Wen family was wiped out three hundred years ago. Are the bones of those with divine powers born that way? No. They are shackles forged by the imperial court. And the lantern in his hand is the key. From planting bones to change his fate, to dominating the county tournament; from opening an inn in the prefectural city, to having a bounty of three thousand gold put on his head in Yunzhou City. Li Tudou touches the jade pendant tucked inside his collar, engraved with the words “Tinglan.” Three hundred years have passed. It's time to settle the accounts, with interest.
