Ye Xi was a recent graduate of an occult studies college. One day, she transmigrates to another world and becomes a master of divination revered by the people as a living god. But just as Ye Xi, the Imperial Astrologer, is accepting the worship of thousands, she transmigrates right back.
At the time, she was worrying about how to pay her grandmother's medical bills. By a stroke of luck, she gets invited to take part in an occult-themed variety show.
On the show, Ye Xi reads the fortune of a wellness expert from a certain organization.
Ye Xi: "You have a wide social circle and a comfortable life, but your indulgent nature is not a sign of longevity."
Expert: "You're talking nonsense. The authorities have recognized my wellness regimen. I stick to it every day, so living to a hundred should be no problem."
Ye Xi says regretfully, "You're already gravely ill. Hurry up and see a doctor. Make the most of every extra day you can get."
The expert is left in shock and disbelief.
She reads the fortune of a rich second-generation influencer who loves flaunting his wealth online.
Ye Xi: "You came from humble beginnings. Around the age of twenty, you had a chance to gain wealth, but your impulsive nature and lack of composure kept it from lasting. Your fortune is as fleeting as a flower."
Influencer: "You just make stuff up as you go. My family has been in business for three generations. We have countless luxury cars and villas, and my monthly allowance alone is over ten million."
Ye Xi leisurely sips her tea. "The villa isn't yours, the luxury cars aren't yours. The debt is the only thing that belongs to you."
The influencer is horrified.
She reads the fortune of a top-tier star who claims to have been single since birth.
Ye Xi: "You're prone to falling in love and full of energy. Your fate says you'll marry young and have many children."
Top-tier star: "Stop spreading rumors. Everyone online knows I've never dated. Where would I get kids?"
Ye Xi's gaze is firm. "Impossible. You have at least three children already."
The top-tier star's pupils widen in shock.
At first, netizens think Ye Xi is just talking nonsense for attention.
But the very next day, the expert is rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, his life hanging by a thread; the influencer is exposed as a fake rich kid and sued for failing to pay rent on his villa and luxury cars; and the top-tier star is revealed to have been secretly married for years, with all three of his children already past their first birthdays...
Netizens: "...I've never seen so much juicy gossip. Is there more? Sister Xi, give us some more!"
After Ye Xi goes viral for her sharp tongue, she catches the attention of a powerful magnate.
One day, she is invited (forced) to read his face. Looking at his handsome features, so much like a certain tyrant's, Ye Xi stares blankly for a second. (Terrified expression) Run!
The magnate grits his teeth. "Imperial Astrologer, how have you been?"
A female lead who passes herself off as an expert (no), says shocking things (yes)
A male lead who's all smiles (no), the tyrant reincarnated (yes), a business magnate
Theme: Be grounded and keep striving every day.
