The Real Young Master Plays a Psychic at a North American University

Chen Yanqing had just graduated from college and was getting ready to return home and inherit his uncle's little Taoist temple when he opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into a melodramatic mix-up novel as the cannon-fodder biological son.

The good news: His wealthy biological parents had already taken him back, then spent a fortune sending him to America to further his education and polish his credentials.

The bad news: The education was a sham. His biological parents looked down on his rural background and worried he might steal the fake young master's fiance, so they had deliberately dumped him on the other side of the world to nip trouble in the bud and make it hard for him to cause a scene.

After learning the truth, the original owner had a huge fight with his family and, in a fit of anger, jumped into a lake.

Newly transmigrated Chen Yanqing: It's just a fight with my family, and they've just cut me off. I've got four working limbs. There's no need to jump in a lake and kill myself.

The next second, astronomical medical bills, rent, tuition, and all sorts of other expenses came one after another.

Chen Yanqing: ...

Sorry, I take back what I just said.

To stay alive, penniless Chen Yanqing had no choice but to pick up his old line of work.

He became a fortune-telling charlatan in North America, reading people's fortunes and keeping them safe.

At first, the foreigners said: A mysterious curse on a yellow talisman? That trick won't fool me. It's all fake!

Black Monday, going out on a Monday means terrible luck? I don't believe it!

Later, one person knelt and begged Chen Yanqing to break his curse, while another thanked him for saving her entire family.

More and more people came knocking, asking Chen Yanqing for help.

Chen Yanqing made a fortune telling fortunes as his side gig, while going to school as his main job. Life was carefree and comfortable.

Until one day, he opened the door and found himself face-to-face with a broad, muscular chest.

A handsome, 192-centimeter-tall football quarterback with deep eyes, a blend of violence and beauty, stood at his door and asked him to tell his romantic fortune.

As Chen Yanqing read his fortune, why did the person destined for him look so much like himself?

Wait, I'm straight, okay?!

After more than half a year out of contact, the Shen family finally remembered their son across the ocean. They were about to demand that Chen Yanqing admit he'd been wrong when they opened their phones and discovered he'd already appeared on national television.

Reports about his contributions to the country were everywhere: priceless treasures donated and returned without compensation, the spirits of fallen soldiers brought home after thousands of miles, and more. Every story was more sensational than the last, shaking the whole country.

The son they'd once looked down on had long since risen to a height they could never reach.

To see him, they first had to submit an application. The appointments queue was already booked through next year!

Bonus scene:

One day after the two got together, Chen Yanqing was doing his usual fortune-telling for a client.

As soon as he finished, North appeared in front of him, his deep, beautiful blue eyes gazing imploringly at Chen Yanqing.

"Baby, you haven't paid attention to me for 1,888 minutes and 52 seconds. You talked to him for 46 minutes. During that time, he secretly looked at you 16 times, touched your hand twice, you smiled at him 11 times, and complimented him twice..."

Chen Yanqing rubbed his forehead. He'd only been out for one day. Why make it sound so serious?

And what did he mean by touching his hand twice? They shook hands!

"Get to the point."

"As compensation, come to the estate with me tonight."

The consequence of being softhearted was that after going to the estate, Chen Yanqing didn't get out of bed for three days.
