A scheming Taoist master demolishes the beginner village x a stunning male deity uncovers his mysterious past
*
Poor college student Bai Shichu went home for summer vacation. When she returned, she had inherited a Taoist temple.
Her roommates were shocked. “Does this mean thrifty, super stingy Bai Shichu is about to get rich? It’s a whole Taoist temple!”
That was until they saw photos of it: dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and tucked away in an isolated mountain village with no subway or roads.
They tried to put a positive spin on it. “At least it was free. You can go there to escape the summer heat.”
Bai Shichu thought to herself: It wasn’t free. I’m bound to a fortune-telling stall System and have to find people fated to meet me every day, or the temple will take my life!

Bai Shichu had been extraordinarily gifted since childhood and was a master fortune-teller. By the age of eleven, she had become a Taoist master whom everyone revered.
Unfortunately, at the age of twenty-one, she failed her tribulation and transmigrated into a book, arriving in a world with scant spiritual energy and few cultivators.
In this novel, she was the real daughter who had been abandoned and left to live on the streets, only to be found by her birth parents at eighteen.
Before that, she had been adopted by an old Taoist priest. Now he had passed away and left Bai Shichu a Taoist temple... and the temple could actually talk!

The instant Bai Shichu entered the temple, she was bound to a fortune-telling stall System. The temple’s true form was once a genius Taoist master in this world, but for some reason, he had been trapped in this shabby little temple. By the time of this age without spiritual cultivation, he had even forgotten his own name.
A figure in white with long hair held by a wooden hairpin and red-rimmed eyes, the temple’s true form: “At last, someone has come...”
The System was born because of him, and he protected it. The System’s KPI required Bai Shichu to set up her fortune-telling stall every day until she found ninety-nine fated people.
A fortune-telling livestream suddenly appeared on Pegasus Live, a platform where streamers of all kinds gathered.
Netizens sneered: “Another scammer peddling superstition. Let’s expose her! So what if she’s pretty? No scams allowed!”
An hour later: “Mom asked why I’m watching the livestream on my knees.”
“The streamer figured out my husband was cheating with a man. I went home and caught them in the act! She’s so accurate!”
“The streamer figured out that I wasn’t my mom’s biological child. I just asked her, and it was actually true!”
“The streamer only glanced at me and knew the balance in my account! Ordinary people would never guess that I don’t have a single cent in there! She’s insanely accurate!”
Bai Shichu became an overnight sensation. At this rate, how long would it take to find ninety-nine fated people just by setting up a stall? She had to livestream!
The shabby little Taoist temple: “I see your tips are pouring in, but you haven’t found many fated people...”
Bai Shichu: “Don’t worry. We’ll grow bigger and stronger. We won’t need to go looking for fated people; they’ll come to us!”
