I Got Rich as a Part-Time Granny Meng [Metaphysics]

[Blurb]

Fu Xiaoxi had just graduated from college when she was saddled with a huge debt. To pay it off, she had no choice but to take a part-time job.

What she never expected was that her dream job would be working part-time as Meng Po in the underworld. Naturally, the timid Fu Xiaoxi refused, but she'd already signed the contract, so she had to grit her teeth and get on with it.

The orphanage director refused to drink Meng Po's soup because negotiations over the property's demolition hadn't been settled, and she was worried the children would have nowhere to live. Fu Xiaoxi helped her negotiate.

The property developer said, "If you've got what it takes, get her to come talk to me."

Fu Xiaoxi said, "That's not out of the question."

By a twist of fate, people mistook her for a "celestial master" and invited her to perform a spirit-calling ritual. The other "celestial masters" saw how young she was.

The "celestial masters" said, "Young girls these days lie so easily."

Fu Xiaoxi summoned the underworld's Black and White Impermanence. "Time to get to work."

A wandering ghost was lingering in the mortal world. Fu Xiaoxi said, "You reckless ghost! How dare you linger in the mortal realm? Come with me to the underworld at once!"

The ghost said, "You don't even have a soul-catching chain. What kind of underworld official are you pretending to be?"

Fu Xiaoxi held up her Meng Po ladle. "Sorry, but that's exactly what I am. The higher-ups say Meng Po gets a bonus for catching ghosts, too."

Fu Xiaoxi's performance was outstanding. Not only were her commissions in the underworld high enough to make other ghosts green with envy, but she also raked in so many red envelopes in the mortal world that her hands got sore.

With the money from her part-time job, she paid off her debts and became a little rich lady.

Just as Fu Xiaoxi was starting to enjoy her job more and more, Jian Haochen, dubbed the "most handsome chairman" by the media, began asking her out every few days.

Fu Xiaoxi said, "Just tell me what you want. I've got money to make!"

Jian Haochen moved a finger and transferred money to Fu Xiaoxi's account.

Staring at the nine-digit sum that had just appeared in her account, Fu Xiaoxi looked up in a daze. "You didn't give me all this money because you have something dirty in mind, did you?"

Jian Haochen ruffled the top of her head, which only reached his chin. "Would wanting to marry you count?"++

Next book: The Master of Physiognomy Takes the Occult Variety Show by Storm

Ye Xi was a recent graduate of an occult academy. After transmigrating to another world, she became a master of physiognomy revered as a living deity by the common people. But just as Ye Xi, the nation's Imperial Astrologer, was receiving the adoration of the masses, she transmigrated back again.

At the time, she was worrying about how to pay her grandmother's medical bills. Then, through a strange turn of events, she was invited to appear on an occult variety show.

On the show, Ye Xi read the face of a wellness expert from a certain organization.

Ye Xi said, "You have a wide social circle and plenty to eat and wear, but you're undisciplined by nature. You don't have the face of someone destined for a long life."

The wellness expert said, "Nonsense! The official authorities have approved my wellness regimen. I stick to it every day. I could easily live to a hundred."

Ye Xi looked regretful. "You're already gravely ill. Hurry up and see a doctor!"

The wellness expert stared at her in disbelief.

She read the face of a rich second-generation influencer who bragged about his wealth online every day.

Ye Xi said, "You came from humble beginnings. Around the age of twenty, you had a chance to come into money, but your impulsive nature and lack of restraint meant your good fortune didn't last. You were a flash in the pan."

The rich influencer said, "You really just make things up as you go. My family has been in business for three generations. We have countless luxury cars and mansions, and I get tens of millions in pocket money every month."

Ye Xi sipped her tea at an unhurried pace. "The mansion isn't yours. The luxury cars aren't yours. The debts are the only things that belong to you."

The rich influencer turned pale with shock.

She read the face of a top-tier star over thirty who had never been in a relationship.

Ye Xi said, "You're prone to falling in love and full of energy. You have the face of someone who'll marry young and have many children."

The single top-tier star said, "Don't spread rumors. Everyone online knows I've never dated. Where would I get kids?"

Ye Xi's gaze was resolute. "Impossible. You have at least three children right now."

The single star's pupils widened in shock.

At first, netizens thought Ye Xi was just talking nonsense to grab attention.

But the next day, the wellness expert was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment; the rich influencer was sued for failing to pay rent on his mansion and luxury cars; and it came out that the single top-tier star's third child had already celebrated their first birthday...+...

Netizens: "...I've never had this much gossip to feast on. Is there more? Sister Xi, give us some more!"

After Ye Xi became an overnight sensation with her sharp tongue, she caught the attention of a powerful tycoon.

One day, Ye Xi was invited (forced) to read the tycoon's face. When she saw his handsome face, so like that of a tyrant from her past life, she froze for a second. (Horrified expression) Run!

The tycoon gritted his teeth. "Imperial Astrologer, it's been a while."

A female lead who cons people for a living (x), a master of physiognomy who says shocking things (check).

A male lead with a kind expression (x), the reincarnation of a tyrant (check), a powerful tycoon.
