After I Was Forced to Raise a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Great Demon

There’s a blurb below for "The Xiangjiang Fortune Teller: Everyone Wants a Reading [1990s]".

*

Jiang He has only one goal in life: survive at any cost!

The great demon who can stir up the tides of all four seas with every breath is the perfect stepping stone for her to target.

She sets a trap and lures the demon in, ostensibly to make a deal. But what she really wants is to borrow his cultivation and live forever! To live a long, long life!

Jiang He keeps the demon by her side, often taking advantage of him before sweetly saying, “Demon Lord, I’m helping you do good deeds! You’re making a huge contribution and building boundless merit.”

Lu Chen gazes at her in silence.

Just a little mortal. No need to take it seriously. A bit of amusement will do.

Cultivation is no easy matter, and the obstacles are many. Jiang He falls into a trap and finds herself in mortal danger, on the verge of dying.

No need to panic. Luckily, she still has her stepping stone.

“Demon Lord~ You have to save me! There are still so many good deeds I haven’t helped you do~”

Lu Chen raises his sleeve and helps her back to life. The demonic power that casually slips through his fingers is enough to pull her from the sea of death.

This mortal really has some nerve, saying something like that!

Forget it. Just a little mortal. No need to take it seriously.

When the “deal is complete,” Jiang He, now skilled in great arts, secretly packs her bags and leaves.

When Lu Chen returns, all he finds is a little note she left behind: “Congratulations, you’ve achieved your goal! No need to thank me too much. The deal is done, so I’m off. Bye!”

The demon, furious enough for veins to stand out on his forehead, crushes the little note to pieces.

So she’s been using me all along.

So there wasn’t even a shred of sincerity in the way she used me.

Clear-headed, independent little ray of sunshine x tsundere who says one thing and does another, loyal like a dog

Thank you for reading. Wishing you all the best.

"The Xiangjiang Fortune Teller: Everyone Wants a Reading [1990s]"

Starts on January 1, 2026. The complete manuscript is in progress.

When Zhuo Zhennan opens his eyes, he finds himself in 1990s Xiangjiang.

The good news: He has a golden finger. He can see an information panel for everyone, showing events from their fate.

The bad news: He’s been caught “making a move on the boss’s wife” by the gang leader. A manhunt has been ordered, and he’s running for his life.

“Boss! It’s a misunderstanding! I saw that the boss’s wife was in danger, so I was only helping her avoid disaster!”

Zhuo Zhennan repeatedly calculates the future, helping the gang leader avoid misfortune and earning his trust. He clears his name of the accusation that he made a move on the boss’s wife, and earns countless people throughout the gang calling him “Brother Zhennan.”

“Chicken, don’t go around fighting. Harmony is precious, or you’ll hurt your luck.”

“Scarface Rong, keep smuggling goods and you’ll end up in prison! You don’t even make much money. You’d be better off selling fish balls.”

Everyone: We’ll do what Brother Zhennan says!

Before long, everyone notices that something about Xiangjiang’s famous gangs seems a little strange.

No one wants to fight anymore. They do business and protect their neighborhoods, and every one of them looks respectable.

“Scarface Rong” even becomes “Fish Ball Rong,” and starts the most popular fish ball shop in Causeway Bay, Rong Kee Fish Balls.

Everyone: Brother Zhennan! You’re the best!

Celebrities and high society queue up to ask the master for a reading.

“Jia Ying, this production will bring you good fortune. You should do it. It could make you a star.”

“Mrs. Chen, your own career will thrive. Relying on yourself is hundreds of times better than relying on a man!”

Not long after, Li Jiaying becomes the youngest Best Actress in history.

A businesswoman rises to prominence, and Chen Linda’s name becomes ten thousand times more renowned than “Mrs. Chen”!
