    This one is somewhat similar to Wei Mian's (no romantic pairing), but I feel it's a bit funnier. It's very good. It's not the cliché of meeting a domineering CEO as soon as you leave the mountain and then falling in love with him. Instead, you take the CEO as your disciple. There's also no cliché of live-streaming fortune telling; instead, you tell fortunes under a bridge. It's also not like traditional episodic novels, which get boring after a few stories and can be easily abandoned. This one has a main plot, is very engaging, and doesn't make you want to skip chapters. The best part is that there's no romantic pairing; everyone is single. The friendship and master-disciple relationships are already very appealing. Unlike some novels that claim to be single but then engage in ambiguous relationships with everyone, this one is purely about building relationships, which is excellent. This novel is good; you don't need to pay too much attention to details or use your brain too much, making it a smooth read. There's no male lead; the overall focus is on master-disciple relationships and family bonds.
