Gu Xicao travels through time, becoming an orphan girl who illegally immigrated to Hong Kong in the 1990s.
At the start, she has no money and is about to be kicked out.
Her only special advantage? A Gossip System!
Gu Xicao: Don't panic. Watch me pull off some slick moves.
Hong Kong in the 1990s was a place of dazzling wealth and economic boom. From street vendors to high-ranking officials and nobles, everyone was superstitious about feng shui and metaphysics.
Gu Xicao bursts onto the scene. She doesn't need to do fortune-telling or read faces. She only needs a name to see through your past, present, and future.
"Mr. Wu, bad news: your wife is in cahoots with your best friend, and they want you dead. Good news: your ex-wife and daughter still care about you."
The big shot in the legal world changes his expression, immediately gets a divorce, and rushes to beg his ex-wife for a reconciliation, even offering hundreds of millions in assets. Everyone in Hong Kong is astonished.
A serial killer strikes repeatedly, terrifying Hong Kong citizens so much that no one dares go out at midnight.
The police headquarters issues a strict order: the real murderer must be caught within three days.
However, Inspector Lam arrests the killer the next morning. Facing reporters, he says, "I caught the killer all thanks to Master Gu's accurate calculations!"
Suddenly, Gu Xicao's reputation soars, and she becomes the top fortune-teller in Hong Kong!
Countless newspaper headlines feature her deeds, and countless wealthy and powerful people just want her phone number!
Gu Xicao: At first, I really just wanted to earn enough for a month's rent.
