1 Getting to the Bottom of Mind-Reading 起底观心术 Bao Erri鲍尔日Urban1.5M WordsCompleted When I was five, a fortune-teller said I’d be able to read people’s minds when I grew up. My parents thought I was a genius and spent the whole family’s savings to send me to school. But I failed the college entrance exam and became a fried-noodle vendor. That vendor later became a “Walking Encyclopedia,” all thanks to the saying, “In books, there are houses of gold.” You are not just who you are. You can become a different kind of dazzling light.

The first book is somewhat similar to mind reading, but I was really drawn to it because of the author's versatility. It covers traditional Chinese medicine, fortune telling, face reading, divination, character analysis, and feng shui. It's truly substantial. I'm currently following the second book. Sometimes I feel like I have those little flaws myself, and I secretly tell myself to change them.

I've been completely engrossed in this story these past few days. It's so captivating. Tangtang is the Ghost King, and he has his own unique style of doing things. He's unafraid of getting involved in karma, stands up for ghosts, and has a clear sense of right and wrong. He possesses both a strong sense of justice and personal love, demonstrating a clear understanding of both the human and ghost realms. Their romance unfolds gradually. The divine Yama King falls from grace and is reincarnated as Gu Zhishang, a flesh-and-blood character with feelings who stays by Tangtang's side.

🔥🔥🔥These are all superstitious ghost-catching novels, highly recommended! 1. The female protagonist, who combines live streaming and offline activities, slept for 1500 years. Upon arriving in the human world, she only received two pieces of ghost money from the Emperor of Fengdu. To avoid starving, she had to catch bad guys for rewards, live streaming her fortune telling. When she encountered someone doing something wrong, she would call the police and even use a sewing machine to get them to do it. Even the police would stake out her live stream to boost their sales. 2. The non-live streaming protagonist has a great personality. She's skilled and confident in fortune telling, physiognomy, and feng shui. Each short story is very interesting. 3. It focuses more on justice, friendship, and family. At first, you might think the second brother is a psychologically twisted cannon fodder villain, but he turns out to be a loyal and loving person who cherishes his sister. 4. Ji He is the number one superstitious cultivator in the cultivation world, only one step away from ascension. Unsurprisingly, she failed her tribulation. 😂 She thought she was going to die, but when she opened her eyes, she had become Ji He in another world. She's still a nobody, and to make a living, she has to rely on her skills to tell fortunes online for those she meets.
