I was born in 1996. Because my life force was weak, ghosts haunted me from childhood, and everyone in the village thought I was an idiot. They poured dirty water on me, called me a jinx, and swore I wouldn’t live past eighteen. But I believe in gods and ghosts. The one thing I don’t believe in is fate. To stay alive, I became a disciple of a spiritual master. I fought to change my fate, with talismans in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other. From then on Vengef 15.7kReads9.1Score2.2kShelves

   The opening chapter of "I Am the Destined Female Physiologist" draws people into a strange rural story that is both joyful and dangerous: During the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, "Lin Banxian" exorcised evil spirits from Liu Ping in the next village, but was head-butted to death by Liu Ping who "hit the soul of an old scalper". Amidst the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the bustle of the mourning hall and the wedding banquet were intertwined in a weird way, and the gears of fate quietly turned in the laughter. The heroine grew up with Lin Banxian since she was a child. She doesn't know much but has seen "real things". She doesn't understand big principles, and only recognizes cause and effect and human hearts: she can tell at a glance who is pretending to be a ghost, who is haunted by evil spirits, and who has greed and murderous intentions behind his back. The master's tragic death was not an accident. The "ox soul" that killed Lin Banxian was more like a knife that was handed to him, pointing to the deeper secrets of the village - some people used evil to do evil, and some used their lives to make money. She wore sackcloth and mourning to see her master off, and also accepted the heavy destiny: from now on, she was no longer just a "half-immortal disciple", but a destined female fortune teller who could judge life and death, discern evil spirits, and reveal people's hearts. Do you think it's supernatural? In fact, the scariest thing is human nature; do you think she is easy to bully? She just isn't easy to mess with. Follow her into each case and watch her use her physiognomy to solve problems, suppress evil with her courage and wisdom, and dig out the truth bit by bit from graves, ancestral halls and rumors.

   A dusty volume of "The Divine Appearance in Linen Clothes" contains the thousand-year-old secret technique of observing human bones and judging life and death. The protagonist Li Beidou has the destiny of "Seven Evil Gods". His grandfather used a marriage contract to change his destiny since he was a child, but he accidentally awakened the curse of the ancient book and stepped into the mysterious world of yin and yang. He distinguishes bad luck by facial recognition, traces the truth by touching bones, uses compasses to suppress evil spirits, and solves problems with gossip. He deals with the mystery of the murderous house, the secrets of the ancient tomb, and the disputes between the sects. From the secret technique of the barber's vagina in the middle of the night, to the nine ghosts' coffin-crushing game where ten thousand ghosts bite the body, every encounter is a game with fate, and every break comes at the cost of life. He stands side by side with his partners who value love and righteousness, and fights against the evil forces that control destiny. He sticks to his true intentions in the cycle of good and evil cause and effect, uses his physiognomy to break through the obstacles in the world, and changes the fate of the people against the will of heaven.

    Good books are coming! Highly recommended! Advance preview: On the battlefield, the situation gradually becomes more and more dangerous. Seeing that the poisonous silk rope was unable to break through Chen Kui's golden sword rain, the old woman in red robe saw a hint of evil in her eyes, and suddenly screamed, her red robe suddenly opened, and the golden mandala pattern on the material came to life, turning into twisted mandala flowers, floating in the air. Each Datura flower exudes a strong fishy-sweet smell. The petals slowly open and spray out clouds of light red poisonous mist. The poisonous mist spread and instantly enveloped half of the battlefield. "No, it's the 'Mandala Poison Mist'!" Chen Kui's heart trembled, and he immediately remembered the advice of his elders. This poisonous mist is colorless and odorless. Previously, the red-robed old woman only used it on a small scale. Now it erupts on a large scale, and its toxicity is even more overbearing. Once inhaled into the body, it will corrode the meridians and paralyze the mind. Even with internal protection, it is difficult to completely resist it.​ Chen Kui did not dare to neglect at all, and the golden sword light around him surged again, forming a spherical light shield. On top of the light shield, countless small sword lights were arranged as closely as fish scales, constantly rotating, forming a defensive barrier. At the same time, his wrist trembled, and the main sword drew three staggered arcs in the air. The golden sword rain instantly changed its attack, no longer attacking the red-robed old woman, but pouring down towards the mandala flowers in the sky. This time, the sword rain was even more intensive, and every sword light carried the purifying sword intent, like golden rain. When it fell on the mandala flower, it would erupt with dazzling light, burning small holes in the poisonous flower.
