It does not teach you how to calculate your fortune. Instead, it explains how these influences in a destiny chart shape a person’s life.

   Reader note

   I'm recommending a slow-burning fantasy/xianxia novel. It uses the concepts of deities and spirits to explain the influence of fate on people, but it doesn't teach fortune-telling. The plot begins with a case investigation and gradually expands to include sectarian struggles and the political situation in the court. The relationships between characters are complex, and there are many plot twists. It's suitable for readers who enjoy plot-driven mystery-solving.
