Xue Mantian was born with an unusual gift: she can hear the voices of all things.

She couldn't let such a talent go to waste. With her abacus clicking away, she set up a fortune-telling stall to read people's fortunes around town.

When a young lady asked about her love life, Xue declared that the man was a playboy and snipped their red thread of fate;

when a house collapsed in the suburbs, she solved the case in no time using a wooden plaque from the rubble, rivaling the government investigators...

Xue Mantian's predictions always came true, and she thrived in the capital.

Just as she was feeling her purse and daydreaming about the future, a jinx dropped from the sky and blocked her path to prosperity.

Yu Jiayue, the playboy, the idle young master living off others, looked gloomier than a storm cloud.

The onlookers chuckled. That female diviner was in for it now.
