After Joining the Army on an Island, I Was Cherished by a Cold, Tough Soldier

Qi Xu was demonstrating her hypnosis techniques to explain them in detail when she accidentally got electrocuted and died. She opened her eyes and was reborn in the 1980s, in the body of a woman who weighed over 200 pounds and shared her name. The house was falling apart, her grandfather was gravely ill, the family rice jar was almost empty, and her awful relatives had come to fleece them. This start was downright inhumane. How could she just sit around and wait for death? With hypnosis and fortune-telling at her disposal, she could make any demons, ghosts, and awful relatives back off. As if she’d let anyone take advantage of her! Goodness, the handsome man who’d been her “cushion” was quite a looker. There was no reason she couldn’t marry him. If she wanted to leave this godforsaken mountain village, she needed a stepping stone. The island was a pretty good new home. Before she knew it, she’d identified the cause of the madman at the ferry landing’s illness, an affliction he’d suffered from for years, and cured his supposedly incurable disease. Her reputation soared. Islanders from all the surrounding villages begged her to tell their fortunes and read their luck, so she had no choice but to set up a stall and make money. “Wife, can we go home?” The aloof, refined man asked tentatively. Qi Xu put on an innocent face and lazily shook her head. “You? No. You’re not as useful as the money in my hand.” The man scooped her up in his arms. “Don’t worry, wife. Your money is yours, my money is yours, and I’m yours, too.” The unwanted child from the orphanage turned out to be the biological son the island’s tycoon had spent years searching for. “Thank you, Sister Qi, for showing me the way.” The official’s daughter, who had been dogged by bad luck for years, was now radiant. She brought over a precious pearl to thank Qi Xu. “At last, I have good luck. Thank you for your help, Master Qi.” Watching the decimal point in her bank balance keep moving to the right, Qi Xu was more motivated than ever. Then the man came looking for attention again. “Wife, please pay attention to me!”
