Name: I'm Missing One of the Five Elements
Author: Xi Zixu

Synopsis

Shocking! An innocent civil servant is reborn in a con artist’s body, only to have a man do this to him…

Everyone in the feng shui world says Lin Zhushui knows everything. It turns out the only thing he ever got wrong was his destined relationship with Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu is gentle by nature, with soft skin, tender flesh, and fragrant marrow in brittle bones. He never imagined that after being reborn, his biggest worry would be avoiding someone’s displeasure, lest that person decide to dispose of him.

Zhou Jiayu: Before I was reborn, I always thought I’d be a steadfast successor to socialism. Then I became a con artist and met a big shot whose fortune-telling was uncannily accurate.

Lin Zhushui: Aren’t you happy being with me?

Zhou Jiayu: I’m happy. I’m over the moon. I’d be even happier if you didn’t spend every day planning what to put on my menu.

Lin Zhushui: I can’t do that.

Zhou Jiayu: …

A feng shui novel: a blind feng shui master as the top, and a con artist who was once a staunch socialist successor as the bottom. Extra sweet, sweeter than first love.

Reading Notes

I read just about anything, except for weak gong, Japanese gong, mud gong, and specially catered-for insects. I really can't stand specially catered-for insects, and I'm always applying for insecticide.
