[Time-Travel Rebirth] "A Simple Divination, Admitting Guilt and Submitting to Justice [1990s Hong Kong]" by Nian Nai Pao "Complete"

Book Synopsis:

Chu Yuening is the top Master of the Profound Sect, who accidentally finds herself transmigrated to 1990s Hong Kong. Faced with the threat of eviction for failing to pay rent and the responsibility of her young sister, she has only ten dollars to her name.

Surveying the wreckage of a dessert stall, she promptly borrows a cardboard from the neighboring vendor and writes two bold words on it to hang beside.

Fortune-Telling, Feng Shui.

"Madam, your husband is registered at the Peninsula Hotel with three ladies."

Thirty minutes later, a naked man at the Peninsula Hotel was indeed slashed by an attractive woman with a knife.

"Sweet Cone Wei, let me give you a piece of advice: refrain from buying the Six-Ring Lottery today; otherwise, financial ruin is certain to follow."

Three hours later, Ice Cream Wu sat weeping at the entrance of a tea restaurant, penniless.

"Ah? You, a fugitive, dare to seek fortune-telling? You were behind the tragic massacre of the Shi family thirty years ago, weren't you?"

In just an hour, he cracked a thirty-year-old cold case that had long plagued the Kowloon Police Station.

From then on, the small dessert stall saw a never-ending queue, instantly becoming a sensation across Hong Kong overnight.

- A corporate manager took his own life with seven coffin nails piercing his head, bleeding profusely in a gruesome scene. The truth turned out to be a plot to kill his wife for insurance fraud.

- A young man aged overnight like a centenarian before suddenly dying. It was discovered that he had borrowed someone else's life force to alter his fortunes.

Faced with these bizarre cases, the detectives of the Serious Crime Unit were overwhelmed. Eventually, they noticed a strange pattern: all the mysterious suicides seemed to be linked to a particular dessert stall.

Eventually, Chu Yuening was specially recruited to join the Serious Crime Unit as a fortune teller. Undeterred by danger, a journalist camped outside the mansion of the renowned business tycoon, microphone in hand, waiting for a chance to speak with him.

The door opened.

The man stood almost six feet and three inches tall, his muscular build clad in casual attire. His eyes held a faint, aloof gaze, exuding an air of untouchable nobility.

Startled, the journalist took a moment before rushing forward to ask, "Sergeant Zhou Shaizhan, it's been reported that the Serious Crime Unit has enlisted the help of Feng Shui Master Chu to solve cases. As someone known for your impartiality and referred to as the 'Yama of Law Enforcement,' what is your perspective on the police station resorting to superstition?"

Before the man could respond, Chu Yuening's voice rang out from behind.

"Detective Zhou, thank you for the clothing."

The journalist's eyes widened in astonishment.

A hint of warmth flickered in the man's cold gaze, and his deep voice held a magnetic quality.

"I apologize, but you've disturbed my pursuit of my future wife."

Chapter 1

"Sugar Water Girl, wake up."

"Oh dear, how pitiful. These hooligans don't know how to hold back."

"Beating someone up and running away, they'll be struck by lightning."

In Kowloon's Temple Street, bustling with traffic and lined with signboards, a music store played Beyond's "Glory Days." The background melody echoed through this vibrant street of Hong Kong, where stalls selling sundries and snacks stretched endlessly.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, nearing the end of the workday for Hong Kong citizens – the prime time for business. However, several stall owners neglected their customers, gathered around the unconscious girl at the dessert stall, worried.

"Wake up, wake up!" cried the owner of Zhang's Tea House.

Chu Yuening slowly opened her eyes, surrounded by a cacophony of noise. She looked up at the faces leaning over her, her mind momentarily blank.

Where was she?

She distinctly remembered suppressing ghostly energy for the country, preventing the resurgence of ghosts. To fully seal off the ghostly aura, she and her fellow disciples from the Profound Sect had sacrificed themselves for the greater good.

Could it be that she hadn't died?

Before Chu Yuening could ponder too much, she promptly received a chunk of memories.

It turned out that this was a romance novel set in Hong Kong, titled "Hong Kong Tycoon's Sweet Favorite." The original host was not an important character; she didn't even qualify as a background extra. At this very moment, her role had just faded out.

The original host was from Xiangcheng. After her mother passed away, she and her sister sought refuge with their father who had started a business in Hong Kong, only to discover that he already had another family there behind their mother's back.

Refusing to acknowledge her father, the original host took her sister and left but ended up staying in Hong Kong due to various reasons. To support her sister, she began working at a restaurant and saved for months. Upon hearing that street vending could be lucrative, she used the dessert-making skills she learned from the restaurant to start a stall.

Just as she had paid her sister's tuition fees not long ago, the landlord came knocking for rent again. If they couldn't pay tonight, the two of them would be evicted and left homeless.

The original host hoped that the money earned from selling desserts tonight would cover half the rent. However, she never expected to encounter a gang demanding protection fees. During the scuffle, she was pushed down, hitting her head and ultimately losing her life.

Seeing Chu Yuening remain silent for a while, the boss of Zhang Ji Restaurant grew worried. "Did you hurt yourself? Should we send you to the hospital?"

The man spoke Cantonese.

Despite the haziness, Chu Yuening managed to comprehend his words. Feeling the last ten dollars in her pocket, she jumped in fright when she heard about going to the hospital. Without thinking, she blurted out instinctively.

"I'm not going, I'm fine."

Afraid of being taken to the hospital and incurring medical expenses.

She didn't dare to lie down either, using both her hands and feet to stand up. She flashed a smile at the surrounding stall owners, "See for yourselves, I'm really fine."

After Chu Yuening finished speaking, she jumped around on the spot a couple of times.

"Thankfully, you're alright." The owner of Zhang's Restaurant confirmed that Chu Yuening was unhurt before waving everyone off.
