The Max-Level Expert Goes Wild at the Mystic Academy [Metaphysics]

[The follow-up novel, "The Real Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard," is now available. Its blurb is below.] After waking up, Shen Yunchu, the founding master of the mystic arts, finds herself in the body of her namesake, a bottom-ranking, bullied underachiever at the Mystic Arts Academy. The original owner died from exhaustion after staying up all night studying for exams. Looking at the elementary knowledge in the textbook, Shen Yunchu takes a deep breath. She wasn't summoned here. She was brought back to life out of sheer frustration! * Recently, the subject teachers at the Mystic Arts Academy have been troubled. Shen Yunchu, the academy's perennial bottom-ranked student, keeps outperforming expectations on every exam. Others need three years to master a Wealth-Attracting Talisman, but Shen Yunchu can draw one instantly after a single glance. It brings wealth from every direction, is tremendously powerful, and can be mass-produced in a second. Flying through the sky, burrowing underground, driving out ghosts, and binding spirits are all second nature to her. The little ghosts are so terrified that they tremble and flee back to the underworld overnight, preferring death to keeping their cushy jobs at the academy. The subject teachers plead as one: "Please, Founding Master, stop taking away our livelihoods." The whole student body wails: "This is the end of us! You've raised the bar for the graduation exams all by yourself. How are we supposed to graduate? QAQ" Shen Yunchu looks completely baffled. "That's just basic mystic arts." * A mysterious big shot has recently appeared on the black market. The wrinkle-removing, anti-aging talismans and fat-burning, slimming talismans they draw are impossible to get hold of. A wealthy socialite clutches a blank check. "Please, Master, give me another wrinkle-removing talisman." A top-tier star hugs a huge pile of cash. "Master, Master, I only want one anti-aging talisman. Just one!" A top billionaire presents a contract worth tens of billions. "Master, Master, please mass-produce them and let us join in!" Shen Yunchu is incredulous. "They're just little toys I use to pass the time. How are you so easily satisfied?" Everyone: The Master may have a very different understanding of the word "toys" :) Coming at the end of the month: "The Real Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Everyone" Xu Yinyin is transmigrated into a wealthy-family novel as the real heiress who was switched at birth, a cannon-fodder character. In her previous life, she grew jealous of her biological parents' favoritism toward the fake heiress and kept provoking and targeting her. In the end, everyone hated her, and she was thrown out of the wealthy family to wander the streets. Bound to a gossip System, Xu Yinyin decides that life in a wealthy family means never worrying about food or drink. What's the point of fighting over anything? She can just listen to gossip and watch the drama. It couldn't be more delightful. * Her mother says, "I've raised Yaoyao as my own daughter all along. I can't distance myself from her just because you've come back, but I'll do my best to treat you well." Xu Yinyin nods obediently. "All right." Gossip thoughts: "Oh my, this cheap little sister's biological mother is actually your husband's first love. What a melodramatic, ill-fated relationship. But if you look at it another way, you really can raise her as your own." Hearing her daughter's thoughts, her mother goes weak at the knees and sinks to the floor. Xu Yinyin: Huh? Why did she suddenly give me a black card and tell me to spend as much as I want?! Her father says, "Yaoyao has always been kind-hearted and timid. Speak gently to her. Don't scare her." Xu Yinyin nods meekly. "All right." Gossip thoughts: "Your little sister really is timid. She only dares to secretly support her biological mother. In the future, she'll even transfer your assets to her biological father. You're such a sucker, raising someone else's child and supporting someone else's wife. Your sworn enemy wakes up laughing eight hundred times every night!" Hearing those thoughts, her foolish father feels his blood pressure surge and collapses onto the sofa. Xu Yinyin: Eh? Why did he suddenly give me shares in his company and tell me to spend more and stop overthinking?! Grandpa plans to have Xu Yinyin gain experience at the company. Her second aunt, the general manager, says, "You didn't graduate from a prestigious university. If you join the company, it would be more convincing for you to start as a salesperson. Is that all right?" Xu Yinyin smiles and nods. "No problem." Gossip thoughts: "You're afraid I'll get too close to you and accidentally discover that you're having an affair with my uncle-in-law, aren't you? Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're really good at eating the grass right beside your nest." "Oh my, oh my! So my uncle-in-law can't have children! Poor Auntie thought it was her fault, and the guilt made her put up with that scumbag's cheating again and again. He even talked her into adopting his illegitimate child. Is that something a human being would do?! Auntie has every reason to turn evil!" "Huh? Why did Auntie suddenly slap my uncle-in-law across the face and tell him to leave with nothing?!" * Xu Yinyin is hooked on gossip and frequently attends high-society banquets. A month later: The richest man gives her an island. A wealthy socialite gives her several buildings. A domineering CEO begs her to have his child, and nobody can stop him. Xu Yinyin, wearing the Black Man Confused face: What even is this... Theme: Diligence brings wealth; virtue sustains all things.
