After Discovering We Were in a Book, the Whole Family Started Grinding

Ongoing novel: The Metaphysics Master Becomes a Legendary Fortune-Teller on a Workplace Reality Show

--

Song Shi was approached by the Shen family, only to discover that she had transmigrated into a novel as a cannon-fodder character who died suddenly at the very start. Her adoptive parents suffered terribly while trying to avenge her, and eventually not even their bones were left behind.

To turn her tragic fate around, she decided to push herself all over again. For starters, she would get into the Alliance's number-one military academy.

Before entering the exam hall, Song Shi sent a message to her parents, who were away on a business trip: I'm taking the military academy's entrance exam. There's no signal.

Father Song: ?

Mother Song: ?

The two hurriedly got in touch and realized their daughter had started pushing herself. As her parents, they naturally had to push themselves too.

Later...

Song Shi: I'm top of my year now. We're emigrating next month!

Father Song: Actually...

Song Shi: Don't worry about the house.

Father Song: That's not...

Song Shi: And don't worry about work, either.

Father Song opened his mouth to explain, but Mother Song stopped him and said gently, "Actually, your dad recently opened a mecha factory, and I changed jobs a little."

Song Shi: ?

Later still...

Rumor had it that a mysterious big shot had spent tens of millions to favor a well-connected student, making the school incredibly wealthy.

For example:

All the training equipment was upgraded, and every student received a compact holographic training device;

The medical equipment was upgraded, and a top-tier laboratory provided free medical care and regular comprehensive checkups;

The standard mechas awarded as prizes were upgraded to top-of-the-line models made by master craftsmen, custom-built to perfectly bring out each person's abilities.

Song Shi couldn't help marveling at the generous benefits military academy students received. Then, at the graduation ceremony, she saw the mysterious guests invited by the school: her adoptive parents.

Only then did Song Shi understand:

She was pushing herself to make the most of her time,

while her parents were pushing themselves to make the most of their talents.

Ongoing: The Metaphysics Master Becomes a Legendary Fortune-Teller on a Workplace Reality Show

After the death of Gu Xun, the founder of the metaphysical sect, she joined the underworld and worked there for many years. But without lavish offerings, no one could get her to budge, and she couldn't be summoned except in an emergency.

The King of Hell finally had enough. Under the pretext of an investigation, he carefully picked a terrible fate for her and sent her back to the living world:

Poor and unlucky, and hated by the entire internet.

Her only show required her to work hard for a living, too.

Who knew that Gu Xun would set up a fortune-telling stall and say things that stunned everyone?

"You dreamed your great-grandpa was scolding you because he was trying to drive away the female ghost clinging to you. Thank your great-grandpa, and sleep easy."

"There's a woman's corpse hidden in the haunted house. The killer is the real estate agent. I suggest you call the police."

"Your relatives used your family's fate to make money, then gave you a little money as charity. Your whole family has been sold out."

At first, the viewers in the livestream said: Who made up this story? They tell it so well.

Later...

Viewers: Please, we need a sneak peek! Where will Master Gu set up her fortune-telling stall next time?

After the underworld got internet access, even the ghosts became devoted fans of Gu Xun.

The King of Hell had no idea. Busy to the point of confusion, he finally remembered Gu Xun and summoned a little ghost. "Has Gu Xun learned her lesson? Did she say she'll work diligently from now on?"

The little ghost lowered its head and shrank back. "...Your Majesty, Master Gu said the fate you picked for her was excellent!"

King of Hell: ?

The little ghost continued, "Master Gu also said she's coming back soon, so you should prepare a billion or so extra in bonus money."

King of Hell: ???

He opened his social media app, and the top headline was about Gu Xun:

From hated by the whole internet to watched by everyone, why did Gu Xun become a hit after she started lying flat?!

Theme: By encouraging and working hard for one another, we can overcome difficulties together.
