Song Nanshi arrived in a cultivation world composed of three novels, where everyone in the sect except her was a protagonist.
The Eldest Senior Brother was a reincarnated protagonist who withdrew from his marriage early on. He possessed a jade pendant and was known in the martial world as Long Aotian. He used a broken sword to build his foundation and killed the boss of the Nascent Soul realm.
The Second Senior Sister was a stand-in who was betrayed in a crematorium. After being reborn, she became enlightened and had both her cold master and her former fiancé lining up at the crematorium.
The Youngest Junior Sister was the female lead of a sweet novel. She raised a demon prince who could transform into a human in her cave. She was regularly pinched at the waist and pressed against the wall affectionately by the jealous prince.
Song Nanshi became the Third Senior Sister, who had the least presence in the sect. Not only did she lack any special plotlines, but she also, having been an atheist in her past life, became a professional fortune-teller in this life, using a turtle shell every day to tell fortunes.
Faced with the fate of being involved in the main storyline as a background character in her daily life, Song Nanshi, who considered herself the only ordinary person in the sect, chose to be indifferent.
Eldest Senior Brother: “Junior Sister, does being born lowly mean I have to accept my fate?”
Song Nanshi took out the turtle shell and comforted, “Senior Brother, your fate is in your hands.”
Eldest Senior Brother: “!”
Second Senior Sister: “Junior Sister, he has done so much for me. Should I forgive him? But I feel unwilling!”
Song Nanshi took out the tarot cards, shook her head after a series of operations, and said, “Delayed affection is inferior to grass.”
Second Senior Sister: “!”
Youngest Junior Sister hesitated, “Third Senior Sister, he said he wants to propose to me, but… he’s a demon, and I’m human.”
Song Nanshi looked up at the gloomy sky, “I have observed the celestial phenomena at night; you two are definitely a match made in heaven!”
Youngest Junior Sister: “!”
Eldest Senior Brother/Second Senior Sister/Youngest Junior Sister: She understands me so well!
In the original work, Song Nanshi, out of jealousy towards her fellow disciples, conspires with the antagonist and is eventually killed.
This time, she encountered a pitiful antagonist who had just been betrayed by his family.
After a moment of silence, Song Nanshi chose to take out her treasure, the turtle shell, and said sincerely, “Brother, do you want a reading? It’s only ten spiritual stones.”
The only reason it doesn't get a full 5-star rating from me is that I reserve such accolades for stories that truly blow me away. Nevertheless, it's an excellent read, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Additionally, the protagonist has a knack for bad luck, but there's a reason behind it. As someone who dares to spy on heaven's secrets as a mortal, she carries one of the so-called "Five Misfortunes and Three Lacks": being widowed, lonely, orphaned, disabled, or lacking wealth. Unfortunately, she falls into the worst category – financial hardship. That's everyone's worst nightmare, huh. But at least she didn't start off with this unfortunate streak.
