Zhou Mingye was once the pampered young master of the Zhou family in Hangcheng, a little hellion who would speed through red lights in a supercar and brazenly shout, "My dad is Chairman Zhou!" He was spoiled rotten and had a serious thing for men, hitting on every popular young star signed to his uncle's entertainment company and even stealing his uncle's secret lover.
It wasn't until a paternity test was slapped in front of him that he learned he'd been switched at birth.
Next thing he knew, he was kicked out of the house. His bank cards were frozen, and his properties, shops, and sports cars were all taken back.
With no skills and no strength, he was starving and seeing stars when inspiration struck. He found a scrap of rotten wood, crookedly carved the words "Specializing in difficult illnesses, strange ailments, spirits, and the supernatural" with a charred stick, hoisted it over his shoulder, and set off from street to street, swindling people left and right.
It didn't take long for him to get caught out.
The clients he'd cheated all shouted in unison: "Fraud! Give us our money back!"
The full-level Grand Celestial Master, who'd accidentally transmigrated into Zhou Mingye, said: "..."
Thanks for asking. I can tell fortunes, draw talismans, catch ghosts, and read feng shui. I'm an expert at all of it, and my predictions never miss... Are you really not willing to give me another chance? Sincere.jpg
And then...
The rich and powerful, award-winning actors and actresses, and corporate CEOs all knelt before him, begging him to draw talismans, read their fortunes, and predict their luck.
Fan 1: Is this really the same charlatan Zhou Mingye who was kicked out by the wealthy Zhou family and went around swindling people?
Fan 2: Holy crap, even my ultimate bias called him a deity.
Fan 3: Holy crap, the head of the Zhou family is asking him to come home.
Later, Zhou Mingye not only became a sensation and made so much money his hands went numb, but also became an honorary officer at the Special Incidents Investigation Bureau. The Celestial Masters Association and the Institute of Folklore Studies treated him as an honored guest.
The Zhou family, awed by Zhou Mingye's abilities, came knocking: "Son, come home. I'm your dad!"
After transmigrating into a melodramatic novel about a wealthy family's real and fake young masters, Zhou Mingye was the poor fake young master who'd been cast aside the moment he learned he wasn't the Zhou family's biological son. He smiled: "Thanks, but no thanks. You're too ugly for me."
The Grand Celestial Master had a smooth ride all the way, and his only problem was that the original owner's soul refused to reincarnate, no matter what.
He chanted the Rebirth Mantra countless times, but it was no use. Even when he summoned Black and White Impermanence, their soul-hooking ropes couldn't drag the soul away.
A look at the Book of Life and Death revealed that the two were bound by their "body-sharing" arrangement. No outsider could resolve it for them. They'd have to work it out themselves.
The original owner laid down an ultimatum: if he didn't help him get revenge on the real young master, Zhou Yanting, he'd haunt him forever.
He had no choice but to agree, promising to teach him a lesson and let him vent. But the original owner insisted that he had to "win over the real young master, then dump him in the cruelest way possible."
To undo their bond, he had no choice but to put on women's clothes and bait the real young master. After the man took the bait, he kicked him to the curb.
As for the miserable real young master, Zhou Yanting pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to give my identity back, but you owe me a wife. You have to date me as compensation!"
Zhou Mingye: "?"
Smack! He slapped a Clarity Talisman onto Zhou Yanting's forehead!
Zhou Mingye: "Buddy, are you awake now?"
Zhou Yanting: "..."

The Supernatural Expert Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder and the Whole Wealthy Family Eavesdrops on His Thoughts
After a good night's sleep, the supernatural expert You Lingqing woke up transmigrated into the fake young master despised by everyone in the You family.
The original owner was timid and dull, a foil to the real young master. A revered monk once said that only borrowing his birth details to suppress evil could help the bedridden He Chenyue recover. So the whole family treated him as a pawn to ingratiate themselves with the He family and arranged a marriage contract between him and He Chenyue to bring him good fortune.
But the real young master of the You family was in love with He Chenyue and jealous of the original owner. He schemed to get him sent to an unfamiliar room, then lured He Chenyue there to catch him in bed with someone else.
After the engagement was called off, the original owner became a laughingstock throughout the city. Seeing that he was no longer useful, the You family promptly threw him out. With nowhere left to turn, he eventually took his own life in despair.
But no one expected that when those eyes opened again, the person inside the body had already been replaced by You Lingqing, a renowned powerhouse in the world of the supernatural arts.
Suppressing evil with talismans, changing one's fortune with feng shui, and reading fate through divination were all easy as pie for You Lingqing.
When the You family kicked him out, he first calculated how many days the family's disastrous feng shui had left. When the He family wanted to break off the engagement, he beat them to it: if the engagement was ending, he was the one who would call it off!
Just as You Lingqing was settling old scores and crushing his foes with supernatural arts, Fu Chengxu, head of the prestigious Fu family, suddenly showed up and coldly demanded that he take responsibility.
You Lingqing: "? What? Who did I sleep with?"
Fu Chengxu: "You slept with me, so you have to take responsibility!"
You Lingqing, utterly bewildered: "Grandmaster, save me! Someone's trying to pin this on me!"
Even more absurdly, everyone in the Fu family could hear his thoughts.
As the Fu family matriarch burned incense, his inner commentary rang in her ears: "The ash has fallen crooked. Someone's tampered with your ancestral grave. There'll be a bloody disaster within three days!" The matriarch followed his advice and made changes, successfully avoiding disaster.
When Fu Chengxing, the younger sister-in-law, caught the You family's parents giving You Lingqing a hard time, she heard his thoughts: "Those two have dark energy between their brows. They'll meet with disaster, and they'll have no one to blame but themselves." The very next day, the You family parents lost their entire fortune after a failed investment.
Even Fu Chengxu, after catching You Lingqing frowning at his office layout, heard his thoughts: "Your wealth star is out of place. If you keep that awful fish tank there, you'll lose a ten-billion-yuan project within half a month." He moved the fish tank that night, and the project soon took a dramatic turn for the better.
From then on, the entire Fu family switched on "eavesdrop on his thoughts" mode, following You Lingqing to avoid disaster, improve their fortunes, and rise higher with every step.
The You family regretted what they'd done and tried to win him back, only to get a talisman from You Lingqing that shattered their evil energy and taught them a lesson. He Chenyue saw through the real young master's true nature and begged to get back together, only to get slapped in the face by him again and again.
And the cold-faced Fu Chengxu's gaze at You Lingqing gradually changed from indifferent to possessive, as if he were determined to make him his.
