    Sheng Yan recommends this novel, which combines fortune telling, a system, superpowers, soul transmigration, and two strong (and two virgin) protagonists. From the perspective of the female lead, Mu Ge, it's a soul transmigration story, but there's a saying in metaphysics: "This is fate, and cannot be changed." Mu Ge was originally a powerful high priestess with the ability to predict the future, but her soul transmigrated into the body of a recently deceased girl. To survive, she had to set up a fortune-telling stall to earn faith points, but she unexpectedly met and helped Jiang Heng, the captain of the Chifeng Squad of the Superpower Bureau. While carrying out a mission with the Chifeng Squad, she discovered that someone had activated an illusion of her past as the high priestess, protecting the country and harming people… As the story progresses, the true identities of Mu Ge and Captain Jiang are revealed. Mu Ge won't let herself be taken advantage of; she has many memorable scenes of slapping others in the face, making it a satisfying read. Captain Jiang has a pair of captivating eyes, but speaks extremely seriously. The romance and career storylines develop simultaneously, and the existence of the small system makes the content even more interesting and absurd. Sister Mu's mystical arts, along with the return of her spiritual power, went from being incredibly powerful to defying the heavens and becoming increasingly inhuman; Captain Jiang was also strong from beginning to end.

    🍅🍅🍅Highly recommend these books!🔥🔥🔥 1. A female protagonist who combines live streaming and offline experiences sleeps for 1500 years. Upon arriving in the mortal realm, she only receives two pieces of ghost money from the Emperor of Fengdu. To avoid starving, she catches bad guys to earn rewards, live streaming fortune telling, and even calling the police and running a sewing machine when she encounters bad guys. Even the police camp out in 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 the one who is loyal, righteous, and loves his sister dearly. 4. Ji He is the number one metaphysician in the cultivation world. She's only one step away from ascension, but she inevitably fails 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, a minor celebrity who, to make a living, relies on her skills to tell fortunes online for those she feels a connection with. 5. "I tell fortunes, you watch the drama; my good deeds depend on everyone." This book is really good. The female lead is clear-headed and has strong morals. There's no male lead, and the author's descriptions of online comments and events in the book feel so real. It really resonated with me. The female lead is practically my mouthpiece; she said everything I wanted to say but couldn't.
