Jiang Jianxu was abandoned at the gate of a Taoist temple as soon as he was born. The temple's master, Master Zhishun, cast a divination for him and discovered that he was destined to be heaven's favored son, blessed with extraordinary talent and a future surrounded by admirers and overflowing with riches!
Master Zhishun's eyes gleamed, so he took the boy in and raised him.
Eighteen years later, on the anniversary of his master's death, Jiang Jianxu ran out of the dilapidated, leaky temple with the last white-flour bun in his mouth, still unable to understand.
How had the divinely insightful Master Zhishun been so wrong about him?
How many people in this world could be poorer than he was?!
-
On the first day after showing disrespect to his departed master, Jiang Jianxu transmigrated into a Mary Sue novel.
He was shocked and spat out the dry bun.
What Jiang Jianxu expected from transmigrating into a book: As a master fortune-teller, he'd make connections and do divinations for all the young masters and heiresses, helping them attract wealth and making a fortune himself.
What he actually got: A special student at an elite school, destined to trick a beautiful woman into loving him so he could live off her, and to be bullied, bullied, and bullied some more...
Jiang Jianxu: _(:з"∠)_ Another star of poverty and misfortune. Let's start over.
At last, the little con artist accepted his fate and decided to be an honest person.
But can someone explain why there are so many murders to solve in a Mary Sue novel? Aren't stories in this genre supposed to disregard the law completely?!
And his classmates, who all seem to have it made, are actually...
F1 has a corpse hidden in the wardrobe at home.
F2 has a head buried beneath the money tree at his company.
F3's birth mother has been embedded in a sculpture.
F4...
Jiang Jianxu, who keeps seeing through the secrets of fate, is numb.
Why is his divination ability making a qualitative leap when it comes to solving crimes!!! He's afraid of blood and corpses too!!!
Later, people are always showing up at Jiang Jianxu's door.
Richest man's son: "Jianxu, I opened a shopping mall in your name. Want to go take a look together?"
A scion of the capital's elite: "The leaves on our money tree are turning yellow. My father is offering a million to have you divine its fortune."
A fake heiress from a wealthy family: "I'm out of money, but, but I have a handsome and distinguished brother..."
Inside, Jiang Jianxu jolts upright and guiltily covers the ears of the man beside his pillow.
Theme: If you work hard enough, even an ant can shake a tree.
