I, the Eldest Son of the Kokujō Clan, Am Bound to a Divine Fortune-Telling System

[Ongoing: Transmigrated as the Female Lead of an Angsty Novel, but with a Secret Identity and a Dragon-Aura Hero] Many years later, Yan Sheng, who stood at the pinnacle of the nation, could still remember that scorching summer day, and the dazzling night when he encountered a wondrous opportunity... That day, when he was seven, Yan Sheng watched with his own eyes as Yuan Yi, holding a sword for the first time, effortlessly defeated their swordsmanship teacher. But the jealous, bitter flame had only just begun to kindle when it was snuffed out with a pop that very night. Something even more terrifying and miraculous had happened. An unknown entity forcibly bound itself to him and assigned him a mandatory daily task: tell someone’s fortune and change their fate. Then it fell into a deep sleep. Afterward, he discovered he could see the destinies of other people, or, rather, of all things in the world, held in his palm like threads. From then on, Yan Sheng’s dream changed. He would become the most powerful and impressive charlatan in the world! Yet on the night when the course of his fate was changed, Yan Sheng was filled with trepidation. Thinking of his younger brother, who had seemed like a god that day, he choked back tears and said, “Lord 09, did you choose the wrong person? I’m not an outstanding child. My younger brother... he’s the genius.” The System was unconcerned. “Don’t sell yourself short. You have exceptional talent, unwavering perseverance, and plenty of ambition. You’re exactly the kind of promising Host I’m looking for!” “As for your younger brother... His talent might place him among the best in the world today, but! What’s the difference between a Host with no ambition and a salted fish tied around your waist?!” System 09 fumed. That brat 038 had relied on its Host to leap up several levels in one go, leaving 09 behind. Enraged and resentful, it swore to catch up! So bind a salted-fish Host? Pah, not a chance! “I’m about to enter forced hibernation. I’ll wake up in fifty years to check your progress. If you pass the test, I’ll stay bound to you. Otherwise, I’ll sever the bond.” “And one more thing: if anyone gives my Host a hard time, get revenge immediately! I don’t care if it’s your father!” With that, the System shut down and went to sleep. But Yan Sheng couldn’t sleep at all. His eyes sparkled like little stars. This was the first time anyone had ever recognized him! The happiness and contentment welling up inside made him feel so light he could almost fly. Before he knew it, all the disappointment and bitterness from earlier had vanished like a ball kicked away. Lord 09, I’ll exceed your expectations! Yan Sheng clenched his little fists and silently swore an oath. Screenshot saved on March 29, 2024. Reader’s Guide: 1. The protagonist will get an absurdly powerful golden finger. This is a brainless power fantasy, so proceed with caution if that’s not your thing! 2. Yuan Yi is an extremely, extremely, extremely... extremely devoted older-brother-con, so proceed with caution if that’s not your thing! 3. A minor character named Shi will appear, but has no connection to the Tsugikuni brothers. Proceed with caution if that’s not your thing! 4. The story will cover ending the chaos of the Warring States period and improving people’s livelihoods. My stance is that as long as the original work doesn’t do anything stupid, I support keeping the fictional and real worlds separate! Proceed with caution if that’s not your thing! 5. The characters may be out of character due to my limited writing skills. Proceed with caution if that’s not your thing! 6. Crossover: Inuyasha Upcoming romance novel: My Soul Split After I Transmigrated into a Book If you’re going to transmigrate, then fine. If you’re going to transmigrate into a melodramatic story about a fake heiress and a true heiress that you read before you died... well, fine. I’ve set the bar so low... could you at least let me transmigrate properly?! Do you really have to make things so complicated?! Jiang Fuqing lay curled up in her swaddling, staring dead-eyed at the nanny who carried her away and switched her with another baby girl. All right, all right. So she’d become the true-heiress heroine from a melodramatic novel, a girl who suffered hardship after hardship. Sold into the mountains, Jiang Fuqing opened and closed her eyes, and her perspective abruptly shifted. She had become... a he! “Congratulations, Master! Your young master is perfectly healthy!” “Haha! From now on, your name will be Gu Yuebai. You’re the sole legitimate heir of the Gu family!” One moment she was Jiang Fuqing (female), and the next she was Gu Yuebai (male). So transmigrating into a book had split her soul in two. No, wait. Why did the name Gu Yuebai sound so familiar? Wasn’t that the womanizing male lead of another dragon-aura hero novel?! If she remembered correctly, it was a novel about spiritual qi revival, where the male lead’s career took off and he attracted countless beautiful women... She was utterly bewildered. So... if I’m going to transmigrate, just let me transmigrate properly! Why turn it into such a messy crossover?! Reader’s Guide: 1. The main story is told in third person. 2. Spiritual qi revival should happen in the early or middle part of the novel. 3. This is a melodramatic novel where two people who are adored by everyone fall in love in each other’s eyes, but in reality they’re both the same person. There’s a slightly uncanny touch of self-love, just a little. 4. ...To be decided later. Theme: Learn to love yourself!
