After waking from a deep sleep, metaphysics master You Lingqing found himself in the body of the fake young master everyone in the You family despised.
The original owner was timid and dull, a foil to the real young master. A revered monk had once said that only by using his birth chart to ward off evil could the bedridden eldest son of the He family, He Chenyue, recover. So the whole family treated him as a pawn to curry favor with the He family, arranging a marriage between him and He Chenyue to bring the latter 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 send him to an unfamiliar room, then lured He Chenyue there to catch them in bed.
After the engagement was called off, the original owner became a laughingstock throughout the city. The You family saw that he was no longer useful and threw him out. With nowhere left to turn, he eventually took his own life in despair.
But no one could have guessed that when his eyes opened again, the person inside that body was now the formidable You Lingqing, a renowned master of metaphysics.
To You Lingqing, using talismans to ward off evil, changing one's fortune through feng shui, and reading fate through divination were all as easy as breathing.
The You family wanted him gone? First, he'd calculate how many days their failing feng shui could hold out. The He family wanted to break off the engagement? He'd beat them to it. If anyone was going to call off the engagement, it would be him!
Just as You Lingqing was settling old scores and crushing his way through the world with his metaphysical skills, Fu Chengxu, head of the prestigious Fu family, suddenly showed up and demanded, his face cold, that You Lingqing take responsibility.
You Lingqing: ? What is this? Who did I sleep with?
Fu Chengxu: "You slept with me. You have to take responsibility!"
You Lingqing looked utterly confused. "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 old madam of the Fu family burned incense, his muttered thoughts rang in her ears: "The ash is leaning like that because someone's tampered with your ancestral grave. You'll suffer a bloody disaster within three days!" She followed his advice and made changes, and sure enough, she avoided disaster.
Fu Chengxing, the younger sister of Fu Chengxu, caught You Lingqing's parents giving him a hard time. She heard his thoughts: "Those two have dark marks between their brows. A disaster is coming, and they'll have brought it on themselves." The very next day, You Lingqing's parents lost everything after a failed investment.
Even Fu Chengxu, when he caught You Lingqing frowning at his office layout, heard his thoughts: "Your wealth star is out of place. Keep that awful fish tank there, and you'll lose a ten-billion project within half a month." He moved the fish tank that evening, and the project soon took a turn for the better.
From then on, the whole Fu family switched on their "eavesdrop on his thoughts" mode, following You Lingqing's advice to avoid disaster, improve their luck, and rise to success.
The You family regretted their decision and tried to win him back, but You Lingqing taught them a lesson with a talisman to dispel evil. He Chenyue saw through the real young master's nature and begged to get back together, only to get face-slapped by You Lingqing.
Meanwhile, the cold-faced Fu Chengxu's gaze at You Lingqing gradually shifted from indifference to possessive determination.
