Fortune-Telling Live: The Whole Internet Is Watching the Drama

*A silly, gossip-filled story, with an innate beloved-by-all, heartthrob aura.

Gu Wenxia was once a top genius of the mystic arts. Now she has transmigrated into a feel-good novel as a disgraced, notorious top-tier star.

She is destined to be utterly ruined on a livestream variety show, banned from the industry, and left with a miserable future.

A disastrous start.

Gu Wenxia remains cool as still water: Once I finish this gig, I'm leaving the entertainment industry. Worst comes to worst, I'll set up a fortune-telling stall under an overpass.

Amid a flood of comments saying "Gu Wenxia, get out of showbiz," Gu Wenxia pulls out a fortune-telling banner and sets up shop on the spot. "Fortune-telling for anyone fate brings my way, two thousand per reading, first come, first served. I also sell protective charms for peace and home security, charms to ward off evil, Pixiu wealth charms, peach-blossom charms, and more. You can't lose, you can't get cheated, so don't miss out as you pass by!"

The viewers: "?"

The highly respected Best Actor steps forward to advise her: "Stop promoting this kind of feudal superstition."

Gu Wenxia looks at him. Huh? Did the Best Actor stay out all night yesterday because he was stealing a dog?

The Best Actor, his fans, and the gossip-loving crowd: "?"

Impossible. Gu Wenxia must be taking revenge and making things up.

The director eyes the dog hairs still clinging to the Best Actor's clothes and falls into deep thought.

Gu Wenxia: Huh? He stole the dog from a girl group's idol? Oh, they were living together, then broke up, and fought over the dog first.

Fans: "? Slander! Impossible!"

The female idol glares at her. "Gu Wenxia, have I ever offended you? Why are you spilling my secrets?"

Gu Wenxia: "?"

I didn't even say anything just now. Could my expression have given it away? Maybe I should try to keep a straighter face?

Soon, everyone realizes Gu Wenxia really does have a knack for this.

The people she says will make it big quickly become huge stars. Those she says are doomed soon fall from grace, even if they were once famous across half the country.

The celebrities flush red, torn between wanting to get gossip from Gu Wenxia and fearing they'll become the next subject of it.

Help! How many people can hear Gu Wenxia's thoughts?!

-

Gu Wenxia only knows that she's bound to a useless System. She has no idea that this useless System has a bug that lets everyone around her hear her thoughts.

And it's not just people within a hundred meters who can hear Gu Wenxia's thoughts. The top one hundred tippers in her livestream can hear them too.

For a while, viewers in Gu Wenxia's livestream go wild fighting for the top spots.

Gu Wenxia cries out in horror: "I was planning to leave the industry after this gig! Don't ruin my life!"

The haters who once shouted for Gu Wenxia to get out of showbiz switch sides one after another: [No way! If Gu Wenxia leaves the industry, where am I supposed to get my gossip?]

[No one is allowed to insult her anymore! I'm on guard duty at Gu Wenxia's fan page, like a loyal puppy!]

[What's her next gig? Sponsors, get moving!]
