Shocking! An innocent civil servant was reborn into the body of a swindler, only to be forced by a man to do this sort of thing…

In the feng shui community it was said that Lin Zhushui was omniscient, but now it seemed his only miscalculation was his marriage to Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu had a warm nature, thin and tender skin, and soft and brittle bones. He never expected what he worried about the most after his rebirth was to not make a certain someone angry.

Zhou Jiayu: Before I was reborn, I always thought that I would be a staunch socialist successor, until I became a swindler and met a fortune-telling big shot.

Lin Zhushui: Are you unhappy being with me?

Zhou Jiayu: I’m happy, I’m so happy I could die, I’d be even happier if Boss could stop thinking about me being on the menu every day.

Lin Zhushui: Not possible.

Zhou Jiayu: …

Feng shui novel, blind feng shui bigshot gong x fake swindler socialist successor shou, super sweet, sweeter than first love.

Pros :

MC and ML relationship progress is nice. MC works hard to make himself better and ML isn't too harsh to MC. ML is kinda a tsun. The relationship after MC and ML turned into a disciple-master is funny.

Cons :

I don't rlly remember tbh. I just enjoy it

Ahhhh this one is totally my cup of tea and if horror novels could deliver the fright and creepiness as well as this one, I would be super satisfied! And I rarely see Blind!MLs and it is really nice to see something which was very well written and translated. The side characters are cute and funny, and the relationship between MC and ML is slow but gradually builds up and is very fluffy. Ji Ba is legit one of favourite birbs cuz just listens to the lil guy! The horror... more>> is portrayed wonderfully and the other characters are also properly fleshed out. And my fav Baldy cuz why not!

As far as I've read, the plot is great and it's a good comedy + slice of life + horror to read. Feng Shui is an ever-growing subject and I love reading about it. <<less

The way the novel ends and all of the missing puzzle pieces fit is amazing. I like how there is an explanation about the MC's rebirth amd how every mini arc is about solving ghost problems.

The feels is really strong.

There are moments filled with comedy, terror, fluff, romance, sadness, and many more. It's surprisingly easy to MTL the novel.

... more>> I really like the ML and the MC. The way their love grew and developed is just..... *gives a warm hug* the other characters are also memorable.

The side couples are ?✨ I also like the white-weasel and little paper man. You'll love them too.

I'm so glad to have read this novel. <<less

This had absolutely shot up the ranks to become one of my favourite novels. The characters are slowly built up and fleshed out, and the world building is as important as the relationships, but isn't delivered in a info dump or anything.

It's funny too, genuinely funny.

I also appreciate the lack of internalised h*mophobia. I hate reading stories where the character spends a bunch of time hating gay people and loathing the concept of them being gay.

In this, the MC knows that he is gay, he's just a shy... more>> man who hasn't made a move on anyone before.

The conflict between him and the ML is about personality, history and power differentials. That's so much more interesting then someone freaking out over liking a boy.

The translation is crisp and smooth, very nice to read. The notes at the end are very informative as well.

Also I really appreciate the translator giving a warning for a joke about skin colour. I have fallen in love with danmei novels but so often there will be ableist slurs or ideas and colourism.

Its thoughtful and caring to let the audience know about potentially hurtful content and as a reader I was very impressed by the translator's integrity <<less

This is my very first review as the novel is really worth reading. Fair mixture of comedy and fluffs on horror genre. Interesting plots and characters. I so wish someone could translate this interesting novel till the end. I have to MTL the rest since I couldn't drop.

Spoiler

Wish I could have more scenes on Xiao Jin and Lin Jue

The story is focusing on the supernatural/ghosts and the romance is slow burn, but omg the story is so funnnn! MC personality is also funny and interesting! I’m sad that there’s only MTL version available after chap40 (difficult to understand for me), but thank god it is soon to be sold and transplanted into my native language!

highly recommended!

I want to say that the horror element in this story is really100x thrilling! I got goosebumps all over reading this!

Regarding the romance, it is slow-burn, but the MC fall in love with ML pretty early in the story. And the ML, he is quite restrained in his action, thus u can't really understand his emotion towards MC at the beginning. But is obvious from his actions that his attention & care towards MC is special.

Last, the translation quality is really superb! Unfortunately there's no progress anymore that I end... more>> up MTL-ing this novel. I still can enjoy the novel, and the horror is still there though it become lesser due to reading from mtl. <<less

Interesting story. A good balance of funny and serious interactions. I like the characters, though maybe too much humor is at Shen Yiqiong's expense. Poor kid. Funny author's notes +1.

Excellent quality translation. Explains relevant terms, retains elements of the chinese language humour; just all-round fantastic.

The novel itself is interesting, and fun. Highly recommended!
