The True Heiress from the Countryside Is a Hidden Mystic Boss

Gu Yunxi was a cultivator who transmigrated into the body of a girl after a failed tribulation. She found herself in the setting of a novel she had previously read, where the original host, the biological daughter of the wealthy Gu family, was wrongly swapped at birth and raised in poverty. Upon her return to the Gu family, she faced hostility from the fake heiress, Gu Yan, and neglect from her brothers and father, who doted on Gu Yan. The original story ended in tragedy for the Gu family, but Gu Yunxi, possessing her cultivation abilities and inner thoughts that only her family could hear, intended to change her fate while accumulating merit and wealth through livestreaming fortune-telling.

As the biological daughter, Gu Yunxi returned to the Gu family mansion, where her third brother, Gu Yunlang, and mother, Liu Zheng, were the first to discover they could hear her inner monologue. This revelation shifted their perception of her, as her thoughts revealed Gu Yan’s manipulative schemes and her father’s infidelity. Unlike the original plot where the family remained blind to Gu Yan’s true nature, the Gu family members who could hear Yunxi’s thoughts began to see through her fake persona. Gu Yunxi, indifferent to their affection but appreciative of the financial support, focused on her new life, utilizing modern technology like smartphones and Alipay to conduct her metaphysical practices.

The core conflict intensified as Gu Yan, threatened by Yunxi’s presence, attempted to sabotage her reputation and drive her away. Gu Yan orchestrated a kidnapping scheme targeting the fifth brother, Gu Xingbai, a rising celebrity, by introducing him to a fraudulent friend. Yunxi, aware of the trap through her cultivation senses and inner thoughts, intervened alongside her brothers. She drank the drugged wine meant for Xingbai and exposed the conspirators, leading to their arrest. This incident solidified the brothers' trust in Yunxi and deepened their bond with her, while also attracting the attention of He Sihan, a powerful and sickly businessman who could also hear her thoughts and saw her as a potential savior.

Yunxi expanded her activities beyond the family, starting a livestream where she offered fortune-telling services. Her unique abilities drew a large audience, including Liu Ying, a member of the prominent Liu family. Liu Ying’s grandfather was suffering from a mysterious illness that defied medical explanation, caused by a feng shui curse planted by a corrupt doctor and a feng shui master. Yunxi traveled to the Liu residence, identified the curse, and revealed the doctor’s scheme to drain the old man’s lifespan. She successfully broke the feng shui formation and provided a talisman to stabilize his health, earning significant payment and establishing her reputation as a master of metaphysics.

Throughout these events, Gu Yunxi maintained a pragmatic approach, viewing her actions as opportunities to earn money and accumulate merit. She used her knowledge to protect her brothers from future dangers, such as warning the eldest brother about Gu Yan’s influence and helping the second brother’s business interests. Meanwhile, Gu Yan’s plots continued to fail, as her attempts to steal Yunxi’s luck were thwarted by Yunxi’s superior cultivation skills. The narrative follows Yunxi’s integration into the wealthy family, her confrontation with the fake heiress, and her growing influence in the supernatural and business worlds, all while the family dynamics shift in her favor due to their ability to hear her true thoughts.
