Metaphysics Prodigy Goes Viral on a Mystery Reality Show

Xi Su, a genius of the mystic arts, is reborn as a washed-up celebrity who's hated across the internet. His very first fortune-telling after being reborn lands him in jail.

On a deduction variety show, he calmly takes out his compass. “The killer was born in the Year of the Snake. Three hundred meters south. Scar on the left leg.”

The production crew panics. “What killer? This wasn't part of the show!”

But three days later, the police follow his directions and capture the culprit in a twenty-year-old cold case.

As the whole internet explodes, the tall, long-legged, roguishly handsome and irreverent captain of the criminal investigation team pins him in the interrogation room and smiles. “Fortune-telling to catch the real killer? Who are you trying to fool? Tell me, what's your relationship with the killer?”

Xi Su gazes up at his striking features and raises an eyebrow. “Believe me or not, I can tell your fortune again. I see romance in your stars and your destined match is about to arrive... Captain Jin, you're a lucky man.”
