The 1980s: The Fake Heiress Is a True Half-Immortal

Jiang Yuhan spent twenty years as a librarian in the Mystic Sect, but still couldn't escape her fate of dying young. When she woke up, she had traveled back to 1983 and become a fake heiress whose city-dwelling parents had just sent her back.

The fake heiress was destined for wealth and status, yet an unexpected sign foretold an early death. She would be out of breath after every few steps and cough up blood at the slightest exertion.

Everyone thought she wouldn't live to see twenty and advised Jiang Laoer to stop borrowing money for her treatment.

Only Jiang Yuhan knew that the mix-up at birth was just a pretext for stealing her fate and fortune.

Some sighed. Others watched for the entertainment.

No one expected that Jiang Sanya would not only survive, but become a famous local fortune-teller.

She interpreted dreams, chose auspicious dates, drove out ghosts, drew talismans, told fortunes, read feng shui, and offered beauty treatments. There was nothing Jiang the Mystic couldn't handle, even the question of why no crops grew in the fields after the land was divided among the villagers next door.

Though she became wealthy and famous, she was also a favored guest of powerful officials and business owners in the county seat, with a car always ready to take her wherever she needed to go.

They say that even wealthy and influential people flew in from Hong Kong just to ask for her help.

Everyone who saw Jiang Laoer's family envied them.

Her city-dwelling parents and the real heiress: Weren't we supposed to steal her fate? Why isn't this going the way the master said it would?
