Becoming a Master of the Mystical Arts in the Seventies

Shen Jiao, the seventeenth-generation inheritor of the Shen family's metaphysical arts, transmigrates one day into the body of a country girl whose father doesn't care for her, whose mother doesn't love her, and whose younger brother despises her. The girl is about to be sold to the city and married off to Fu Yihuai, the eldest son of a wealthy family, who is rumored to bring death to his wives. Shen Jiao believes most in karmic cause and effect. Even as she's about to be sold, she doesn't forget to repay the villagers who helped the original owner. Shen Jiao tells the chubby boy next door, who once stood up for her, to take a trip to the city in a few days. When he does, a recruiter spots him, and he becomes a soldier who brings honor to his family. Shen Jiao tells the village accountant, who once helped her out, to use the subsidy she receives to buy a plot of land. Less than half a month later, the government requisitions it and pays her ten times what she spent. This earns Shen Jiao the nickname "Little Metaphysics Master," and word of her reaches the ears of a man in the city rumored to bring death to his wives. Fu Yihuai has spent years in the army, facing life and death countless times, and has always scoffed at superstition. He doesn't even give the story a second thought. He skips his own wedding and returns to his unit. Only after Shen Jiao marries into his family and he hears that his parents and relatives have all been taken in by her does Fu Yihuai hurry back from his unit. He glances down impassively at the young woman who only comes up to his chest. "I hear you can tell fortunes, Miss Shen?" "Fortune-telling is one of my specialties..." Shen Jiao's legs tremble. The man watches her reaction and says with an amused half-smile, "Then have you figured out when I'll bring about your death?" He doesn't expect the sweet, delicate young woman to answer with a completely serious expression, "I did. It should be in about eighty years..." "..."
