Has Cassandra's Prophecy Failed?

# The premise and blurb were finalized on 2024/5/24 and both have been saved

A capable, professional reporter with the ability to see the future, but no clue when it comes to feelings

&

A possessive younger policeman with plenty of tricks, who never plays by the rules

Ying Guanqi is a reporter, and he also suffers from Cassandra Syndrome.

Simply put, if he touches someone’s skin within a certain period of time, there’s a chance he’ll foresee what will happen to that person next. But the people he warns often dismiss him and end up suffering misfortune.

While shaking the hand of a company president before an interview, Ying Guanqi foresaw the man’s misfortune.

After the interview, he said, “President Wang, please make sure to strengthen your security system tonight.”

President Wang: “Why?”

Because tonight, your company seal will be stolen, and your company will be consumed by a huge fire.

But the next day, as soon as he got to work, he received a message from his company: the interview segment had been pulled overnight and replaced with a much more eye-catching headline.

[Possessed by a ghost in the middle of the night! Company seal stolen from prominent business leader. Why did the massive industrial park shut down all its security systems last night? Was the mysterious fire a natural disaster or arson?]

Looking at the page, Ying Guanqi could only shake his head and sigh. His visions were real.

But whether he warned people directly or dropped hints, they would always inexplicably do the exact opposite, going against his advice.

At a company dinner, Ying Guanqi accidentally touched his boss’s hand as the latter picked up some food.

[After the party, the boss will be demoted after a rival outlet catches him drunk, acting out and harassing a server.]

“Director Gao, drinking too much can lead to trouble. Let’s head home soon.”

“Oh, it’s still early! I hold my liquor really well. Let’s have some more, lots more!”

Ying Guanqi had no choice but to keep an eye on him. But when he turned away to pay the bill, he never expected his boss to pull down his pants and pee in the street.

The next day, rival outlets reported:

[ATN director’s little firecracker goes off in public! A song of courage in his honor]

Enraged, Director Gao took nearly half a year off.

One day, the son of his mother’s best friend came to stay at their house.

When the young man handed him a glass of water, Ying Guanqi accidentally touched him.

[In a few minutes, the young man will sneak a kiss from him while he sleeps.]

Ying Guanqi was blunt. “You’re a police officer. Sneaking around all the time could hurt your career. If you like someone, you can touch them openly and see whether they’re uncomfortable with it.”

Yu Yixiao stiffened, then turned and pinned him to the sofa. “How did you know I’ve liked you for so long?”

Yu Yixiao: “Did you see the photo I keep in my book?”

“Hm?”

“Or did you know I secretly put cold medicine in your water last time? The kind that makes you sleepy?”

“What?”

“Ah, then you must know about what I did to your ■■ when I stayed over at your place last time and took advantage of you being tipsy.”

“Wait?”

When Yu Yixiao leaned in to kiss him forcefully, Ying Guanqi stared wide-eyed, his mind blank. Wasn’t the outcome supposed to change if he said it out loud? And why had he never foreseen any of those things before?

Why had Cassandra’s prophecy failed?!

★ Cassandra’s prophecy: In Greek mythology, Cassandra had the gift of prophecy. According to legend, after she defied Apollo, he cursed her so no one would believe her predictions.
