The Celestial Master Is the Contrast Character in a Period Novel

Female Celestial Master Lin Huaizhen failed her tribulation and entered a novel set in the 1990s, becoming the foil to the heroine, Lin Jiaojiao.

They were two girls who grew up together in Lin Family Village.

They started from the same place, but in the novel:

Lin Jiaojiao was hardworking and willing to endure hardship; Lin Huaizhen was lazy and arrogant.

Lin Jiaojiao believed firmly in science; Lin Huaizhen was superstitious and feudal-minded.

Lin Jiaojiao's husband was a businessman who seized his chance and soared to success; Lin Huaizhen's husband was a farmer, dim-witted and foolish.

Out of jealousy, Lin Huaizhen repeatedly picked fights with Lin Jiaojiao and resorted to ruthless schemes, until karma caught up with her.

The heroine, Lin Jiaojiao, rose steadily through the ranks, lived in luxury, and enjoyed a happy life.

The foil, Lin Huaizhen, became destitute, lost her family, and met a tragic end.

That was how the story went. But now that Lin Huaizhen was here, things would be different. As a celestial master, she had always believed that human effort could overcome fate.

Later, the villagers who had scorned Lin Huaizhen for disliking farm work watched her use feng shui to easily earn money from city folk. She invested in Lin Jiaojiao's business and enjoyed the good life, lounging around while collecting dividends.

Later, she still married the foolish husband from the novel.

He seemed a little slow, but he was wholeheartedly good to Lin Huaizhen.

It wasn't enough for him to bring home every sort of delicious food and useful thing. He even bought her ridiculously expensive cosmetics advertised on TV, despite the fact that they couldn't be eaten or used.

Later still, the fool wasn't foolish anymore. He became sharp and capable, fighting his way to success. Even Lin Jiaojiao's husband, the most successful man in the village, couldn't make money like he could.

Everyone said that men changed for the worse once they had money, especially the man in Lin Huaizhen's family. He was as tall as a mountain and as strong as an ox, and countless flirtatious women fluttered toward him, eager to throw themselves into his arms.

But his heart and eyes belonged entirely to Lin Huaizhen. He really was the best man a woman could ask for.

Only then did the villagers realize: Lin Huaizhen could predict the future and read people. There was no way the man she chose could be a mistake.

Theme: As the protagonist, challenge mediocrity.
