The unfavored second young master of the Ke family, Ke Xingzhou, was finally brought back from the countryside—only because the Ke family had found their real second son and planned to kick him out.

When they went to the countryside to pick him up, Ke Xingzhou was wearing a ragged Taoist robe, sunglasses with one missing arm, and was currently calculating how many kittens the neighbor’s orange tabby would give birth to—for 5 yuan—by pinching his fingers.

When he heard why the Ke family came, he slapped his thigh: “You finally realized you picked up the wrong kid!”

With how talented and brilliant he was, how could he possibly be the child of that dumb couple in the Ke family?

Ke couple: ?

Ke Xingzhou was a Taoist master.

He had long known he wasn’t the real young master, so he moved out early and returned to the countryside. There, he lived a carefree life charming cats and dogs, catching ghosts, and telling fortunes.

Until the real young master was found, and he was dragged onto a talent reality show as the “lazy, dumb foil” meant to make the real one look better by comparison.

Ke Xingzhou looked disgusted.

His adoptive parents: “Five million. From now on, we’ll have nothing more to do with each other—life, death, or sickness.”

Ke Xingzhou instantly stood up: “Which way to the studio?”

Ke Xingzhou brought his fortune-telling treasures to the show, planning to laze around until the end.

But as soon as filming began, he saw a group of jinxed people with black clouds hanging over their heads walking in.

Ke Xingzhou set up a stall on the spot: “Fortune telling? Groups of three, one gets a free reading.”

At first, viewers said: “Superstition! Report him!”

But later… people started to notice: Wait… it actually works??

After the livestream, Ke Xingzhou went viral.

The once-hated “controversial celeb” got a full reputation makeover:

The scandal-ridden rising star: “Thank you, Master Ke, for clearing my name!”

The newly crowned Film Emperor: “Master Ke saved my life!”

The washed-up director with a hit comeback: “I owe everything to Mr. Ke!”

Soon, bigshots from all walks of life swarmed the little talent show just to get a reading from Ke Xingzhou.

The most jaw-dropping moment?

The rumored heir of a top wealthy family, Nie Chen, showed up on camera— cornered Ke Xingzhou against a wall and begged for a love reading.

Ke Xingzhou, counting money, didn’t even look up: “Who are you? Don’t know you. No reading.”

Nie Chen’s eyes darkened.

He pulled out a bouquet made of 999 real estate title deeds: “Tell me—when will my ex finally take me back?”

Ke Xingzhou’s eyes sparkled: “Now. Immediately!”
