Characters: Son of an evil god vs. female fortune-teller

Also known as: Two ruthless people playing their game, a madman vs. a lunatic

The world is foolish and ignorant, with narrow minds. People can only see things through mortal eyes, measuring everything by life and death, rather than understanding the roots of sin, karma, and reward.

Thus, those with extraordinary skills enter the world to cultivate themselves and answer people's questions.

She is the eyes bestowed upon the world by the gods. She wanders among mortals, entering the world without belonging to it. After ten years of cultivation and three thousand divinations, she reads the omens of fate and fortune with three copper coins.

But then she fell in love, and that was the beginning of her downfall and entanglement.

*In his previous life, the male lead was a wicked, ruthless killer who showed no mercy. The female lead is ruthless, says little, excels at scheming, and is deeply calculating.

Before you begin: I'm bad at writing blurbs. This is a road-trip story, plot-driven and grounded in reality, with eerie and supernatural elements, two powerful leads, and a happy ending.

Note: The original blurb is from The Sutra Spoken by the Buddha on the Retribution for Sin and Merit in the Five Realms of Transmigration.
