[Dream of the Red Chamber] My Everyday Life as Miaoyu the Fortune-Teller

Blurb: Qin Huaiyu's grandfather was a half-immortal. When he read her birth chart, he said that at twenty-four, she would face a deadly calamity, but with Ziwei as her ruling star, she could turn danger into good fortune and might yet have a chance at survival. But just after her twenty-fourth birthday, Qin Huaiyu woke up to find that she had become Miaoyu, the aloof and antisocial nun from Dream of the Red Chamber. She was a fan of Dream of the Red Chamber, and had also inherited her grandfather's legacy as a half-immortal. She had hoped to return to her old line of work and play a fortune-teller, changing Lin Daiyu's fate in the process. But she worried she wouldn't measure up to the local witches and Taoist priests, since she didn't know how to command the Five Ghosts to harm people. [Congratulations on binding the Dream of the Red Chamber Cultivation System. The following quests are now available. Complete them to earn points.] [Quest One: Earn Lin Daiyu's favor. Reward for completion: 200 points.] [Quest Two: Earn Jia Baoyu's favor. Reward for completion: 200 points.] [Quest Three: Observe the Soul-Communicating Jade up close. Reward for completion: 200 points.] Qin Huaiyu looked at the cultivation manuals "Aoki Qi-Nurturing Art," "Heavenly Secrets," "Spirit-Communicating Spells," and "Dark Water Technique," along with countless pills, talismans, magical artifacts, and precious natural treasures, and swallowed hard. To complete her quests, Qin Huaiyu began playing the part of a fortune-teller. She cast divinations and found lost objects, read birth charts for marriage compatibility, read faces to predict fortune and misfortune, and set up a fortune-telling stall by the roadside... Gradually, she became a revered master throughout the Jia household and gained a considerable reputation among the people. Her name as a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering and rescued the distressed spread far and wide. Later, Qin Huaiyu made a name for herself in one fell swoop. Before long, rumors spread throughout the capital that she could foresee the future, know fortune and misfortune, bring the dead back to life, restore flesh to bare bones, drive out demons, slay monsters, and do anything at all! For a time, countless noble houses sent invitations begging her to visit: Their sons and nephews had been bewitched by demons, and they wanted her to exorcise them. Their clansmen had suffered one calamity after another, and might have been cursed, so they asked her to drive away evil. A deserted mansion was haunted, with women and babies crying at night, so they asked her to capture the ghosts and protect the residence... The Four Princes, Eight Dukes, and all the noble lords and titled families competed to honor her as their guest. The emperor even built temples for her and personally bestowed on her the title of Immortal of the Jade Void! Then Qin Huaiyu rose all the way to become the Imperial Preceptor, and her influence rewrote the fates of Lin Daiyu and the other women of Dream of the Red Chamber. Reader's Guide: 1. A somewhat slow-paced slice-of-life story with occult arts and a cultivation System. Ghosts, gods, and demons appear from the middle onward. 2. Baoyu and Daiyu do not end up together. Baoyu is not portrayed negatively. 3. I'm terrible at writing blurbs. Please add this to your favorites, qaq.

The King of Hell told him that he had been a good person for ten lifetimes, but unfortunately his life had been short. In his next life, he would make sure Zhao Heng was born into a good family. Then he was born into the ancient world, the son of a high-ranking official. The Zhao family was an old, influential clan with an extensive family tree. His grandfather was the Minister of Revenue and a Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretariat, serving as an advisor to the emperor. His uncles all held important posts around the country, while his father was both the Commissioner of Grain Transport and the Governor of Fengyang, a second-rank local official. As the youngest son, born to his parents late in life, Zhao Heng was showered with affection. If he worked hard in the future and entered government through the imperial examinations, he would have a bright future. If he decided to lie flat, he could use his family's privilege to get a low-ranking sinecure and live a comfortable life. As if worried his life would be short again, the King of Hell had also given him a golden finger: a jade pendant containing the remnant soul of a Medicine Immortal. Zhao Heng happily grew up to the age of six. Then one day, his father came home and said to his mother, "The newly appointed Salt Commissioner Lin Ruhai will soon arrive in Yangzhou. I plan to hold a banquet at home to welcome him..." "Is his wife the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong's Jia family? We were close friends as girls before she married..." The Duke of Rong's Jia family? Lin Ruhai? Zhao Heng, sitting nearby and silently memorizing a medical text, widened his eyes. So he had been born into Dream of the Red Chamber!
