The Whole Internet Begs Me to Stop Telling Fortunes, But I Just Keep Cackling

[Completed. The next book is The Web Novel World Domination Project, Starting in Elementary School] Ji Liujing has been able to see other people's fates ever since she was little. After coming down from the mountain and studying for a few years, her master suggested she return to her wealthy family and inherit their mines. Thinking of her hometown, her foolish parents, her unhinged younger siblings, and the rich folks who shrieked like marmots whenever they saw her... Maybe she really ought to disobey her master's orders! She heard livestreaming was easy, so Ji Liujing immediately decided: She'd livestream fortune-telling! No one across the country would ever forget the day a fortune-telling livestream called "Universe's Super-A Beauty" appeared. The streamer was a stunning beauty with looks to rival a movie star. Her voice was lively and cheerful. "Send one Star-Lit Lantern gift and I'll take a look! Fortune-telling, honest and fair to all!" "Let me take a look at your room. Wow, this is a nice, big haunted house! The corpse of the ghost that's been bothering you is buried right inside this wall!" Viewers: [Thanks for the invite. Is this the twenty-first century?] [I'd sooner believe I'm Qin Shi Huang than believe ghosts exist.] "When will the celebrity you like leave that awful agency? Oh, very soon. She's the young boss's mistress, and now she's crashed his wedding." Viewers: [That's a lawyer's letter waiting to happen.] [Just a passerby here, but isn't this slander by a rival fanbase disgusting?] "Want me to look at your crush's love life? This guy's a catch. He got married last year, and his wife's just become pregnant. He just hasn't planned to tell you." Viewers: [You're lying! Big Brother held my hand yesterday and said he loved me. You can't talk about him like that!] [Streamer, be careful out there.] The whole internet waited to laugh at Ji Liujing. But it wasn't long before... "Help! The cold case really has been solved! The corpse they couldn't find for ten years was hidden in the wall!" "I heard a popular actress and a famous male star got into a fight at a wedding, and the two... wait, no, all three of them ended up in the hospital!" "Sob, not only does he have a wife, he's been married before..." The whole internet fell silent. Ji Liujing's livestream became an overnight sensation, staying on the trending list for three days and nights. Ji Liujing's response: Livestreaming is a piece of cake. Reading Guide: 1. The heroine is sunny, cheerful, warmhearted, and kind. She's a genuinely good person. If she didn't live in a society governed by the rule of law, she'd definitely kill every bad person in the world. 2. There is a male lead. He's the beauty the heroine once rescued like a hero. 3. There are no real-life inspirations for any characters. Any resemblance is purely coincidental, so just have a laugh. 4. The characters' values do not represent the author's values! The comments' behavior does not represent the author's behavior! 5. Updates every night at 9 p.m. Don't miss it! [Coming soon: The Web Novel World Domination Project, Starting in Elementary School. Even after being reborn, she's still going to write! She's working so hard, won't you come take a look?] Tang Zhile, an immensely popular top-tier beauty author, was reborn in 2008, back in third grade. The Olympic spirit swept through every street and alley. Haitang and Aiyaya were packed with smiling faces from an era of economic boom. She slid down the elephant slide and looked up at the blue sky, not yet swallowed by smog. Good news: She wouldn't have to rush through updates in a panic every day! Bad news: The tens of millions of words she'd painstakingly written were all gone! A primary schooler's daily life was so simple: Go to class, take tests, tease classmates, play around. Then get full marks every time and make a whole group of parents furious. Sitting on her bed with a copy of A Shuai in her hands, she glanced at the new computer her family had bought. Even with another chance, she still couldn't resist the urge. "I'll just write it again. What's the big deal?" Lulu Literature City, destined to become the biggest novel website in the future, had only recently launched. Its editors were still privately messaging authors everywhere to offer them contracts. Tang Zhile opened the website of her old publisher, which hadn't changed in twenty years, and felt right at home. She quickly posted an opening: [I ran into my ex-boyfriend at a karaoke bar. He stared at the duckling in my arms with eyes wide with rage...] A reader passing by: That's weird. Let me take another look. Then they couldn't sleep all night. "What happens in the next chapter?!" That night, countless people clicked on this mysterious author's page. From then on, they started waiting for each new chapter with bowls in hand. Tang Zhile stared at private messages from four editors that had arrived at once and pondered which one to favor. That night, the Lulu Literature City forum exploded: The mysterious writer "Fun Seeker" had burst onto the scene, bringing an earth-shattering new force to online literature! Every word she wrote left readers clawing at their hearts, unable to stop reading. Some even tried to hack into her drafts folder to find out what came next. Unfortunately, it was completely empty. "Fun Seeker" kept releasing new series, every one a huge hit. Her fans grew by the millions, and fan art, hand-drawn videos, character voiceovers, and live-action edits swept across the internet! Unfortunately, her update schedule was unpredictable, and her excuses for taking breaks were bizarre: "School field trip today. No update." "My pencil broke, so I'm not in the mood to write." "The Pleasant Goat movie was great. I'll make it happen." Readers pounded their desks in frustration while pouring tears and reward tickets into her account. The publisher's CEO, whose all-nighter had pushed her to the top of the rankings: "At least put some thought into your excuses!" The film company's director, who had been following her updates until dawn: "What a faker! That old fox is definitely preparing something huge!" Then came the book signing, where camera flashes filled the venue. The host bent down and held out a microphone. "Could you share the secret to your writing?" The camera swept past the red scarf around her chest. In the silence, she rose onto her toes and snatched the microphone. "Everyone waiting for updates, get in line!" "I'll post extra chapters when I finish my homework!" [Coming soon: The Republic's First Reporter. Find it on my author page! I've really wanted to write a Republic-era story, so I'm considering making it my next book. Come read the legendary life of a journalist in the Republic of China!] Ying Changzhao transmigrated to the Republic of China and became the heir to a struggling newspaper, with the same name as the original owner. His parents were dead, creditors were blocking the door, and his maternal uncle sneered as he clutched the deed to the property. "This rag has spent three years running matrimonial ads. You'd better shut it down!" Ying Changzhao: Exciting! "I want to be a real journalist." The vow he'd made before slamming the editor-in-chief's door on his way out, before transmigrating, became a thunderclap in this chaotic era. Three days later, the headline of the Haicheng Evening News appeared out of nowhere: "Poisonous Ledgers Found at Haicheng's Most Reputable Pharmacy! The March 18 Cold Case Solved!" The three characters "Ying Changzhao" stood bold in the byline. The ink had barely dried before the newspapers were snapped up. At first, it was just an ordinary little newspaper. Until Ying Changzhao, the only child of its owners, inherited the business. He had a face as beautiful as peach blossoms, enough to steal anyone's breath. A careless smile was always on his lips, and he was recklessly crazy. In the glittering, hedonistic world of the foreign concessions, his camera always turned toward the blood in the gutters. An abandoned infant frozen to death in a slum, a child laborer with severed fingers at the docks, a prostitute coughing blood in the red-light district... "Boss Ying, what are you planning to 'accidentally' photograph this time?" In an alley behind a casino, a military intelligence major pressed his gun against Ying Changzhao's camera. "Last time, you exposed the head of the chamber of commerce for keeping a mistress, and I lost three hundred dollars betting on it." Ying Changzhao grabbed his wristwatch from behind. "This time, want to bet whether I'll make it out of No. 76 Xiafei Road alive?" "Double the stakes. Bet on me." As the night gave way to dawn, he heard the man say, "Ying Changzhao, your idealism will get you killed one day." Ying Changzhao smiled and slipped the photos from his investigation into the other man's holster. "Then do me the favor, Officer Gu. Have this article engraved on my tombstone." This was the most turbulent era, the most terrifying era, and an era full of opportunity. In this age, he began an unprecedented reform that would influence the journalism world for years to come. In the golden age of print media, he wrote the story of his legendary life. An idealistic newspaper magnate, the pursued, x a morally ambiguous warlord, the pursuer. Two alphas who love and fight each other. Theme: The truth is what lies farthest from us.
