I, the number one master of metaphysics, have achieved legendary status in the entertainment industr

The sky was just beginning to lighten when we arrived at the hotel.

"Sister Qin! I'm sorry! Yesterday..."

Looking at the naked, beautiful woman on the large bed, Lu Fan felt as if the sky had fallen.

Lu Fan is a singer-dancer who debuted two years ago. Because of his popularity, his manager got him a role in a movie, playing the second male lead.

Yesterday was the opening ceremony for this drama. In the evening, everyone had dinner together. As a newcomer, Lu Fan naturally toasted more people and unknowingly drank a bit too much.

As for Su Qin, I heard she's the biggest investor behind this film. And Lu Fan, yesterday, somehow ended up in a hotel bed with this big boss without any explanation!

Su Qin slowly stood up, revealing an intellectual and gentle smile: "What's there to be nervous about? Are you afraid I'll eat you up, or afraid I'll make you take responsibility?"

She licked her lips, recalling their passionate encounter the night before, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"Lu Fan, right? Would you consider being my male lead in your next project?"

Lu Fan was taken aback, but immediately realized what he meant and bowed deeply without hesitation: "Thank you, Sister Qin!"

As he left the hotel, Lu Fan felt a pang of guilt thinking of his girlfriend Avril, who was still waiting for him in her apartment.

He and Avril were both orphans and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Lu Fan went abroad to study for a few years, and after returning, he devoted himself to his career, so the two rarely saw each other.

Lu Fan is working so hard now not only to change his own fate, but also to give Avril a better life.

Carrying Avril's favorite durian, Lu Fan opened the door to the room. But he heard an unusual, suppressed rustling sound.

The scene before him left him stunned.

On the sofa, a man and a woman were rolling around together. The man on top had his back to him, while the woman lying below, with a flushed face and dazed eyes, was Avril.

"Avril, what the hell are you doing?!" Lu Fan roared, hurling the durian in his hand at the man and woman on the sofa, and then rushed over.

The man and woman on the sofa separated in alarm. The man turned around, and Lu Fan recognized him: Wang Huajian, a second-generation star who wielded immense power in the entertainment industry thanks to his actor father and wealthy mother.

Lu Fan rushed towards the man and landed a hard punch on his face.

"Damn it! Lu Fan, you dare to hit me!" the man roared, covering his face.

"Brother Jian!" Avril exclaimed, hurriedly pulling her clothes to cover her body and rushing over to check Wang Huajian's face. The heartache and tension in her eyes ignited Lu Fan's anger.

"I'm going to hit you!" Lu Fan turned to Avril and shouted angrily, "Avril! Your tuition and living expenses for college were saved up penny by penny by me while I washed dishes and worked as a backup dancer in a foreign country! You've been complaining about finding a job since you graduated, and I've been supporting you! Is this how you treat me?!"

Upon seeing the bruises on the man's face, Avril turned and glared angrily at Lu Fan: "Do you think you're so great? Can you even afford to buy me a decent bag? Do you know how much that watch Young Master Wang gave me last month cost? How long will it take you to earn enough to buy me one!"

"Lu Fan, it's not easy for someone to cross social classes. In this industry, is hard work enough? You have no background, no connections, and even if you get lucky and become famous, you could fall at any time! What Young Master Wang can give me is a sense of security and social standing that you can never provide!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, Lu Fan suddenly felt utterly absurd.

Lu Fan gave a sarcastic smile: "How come I never realized you were such a shameless gold digger all these years! Avril, since you've chosen this path, I won't stop you. But remember, everyone has their own destiny, wealth and honor are determined by fate. Some people may seem glamorous, but in reality, they are blessed with little fortune and suffer many misfortunes."

Avril was speechless for a moment, clearly aware of how disgraceful this was.

Wang Huajian pulled her behind him, glaring at Lu Fan with a sinister look: "Stop cursing people here! Lu Fan, I'm giving you a chance now. Kneel down in front of me, kowtow and admit your mistake. For Wei'er's sake, I'll spare you this time, otherwise..."

Just then, Lu Fan suddenly realized that he could see Wang Huajian's fortune through his facial features.

Wang Huajian has a narrow forehead, prominent brow bones, and a high nose bridge but a thin, pointed tip—typical features of a mean-spirited, ungrateful, and ambitious but incompetent person. Furthermore, dark energy is swirling around his Illness Palace.

"My mystical arts have been restored? The seal my master placed on me has been lifted?" Lu Fan was overjoyed.

When he went abroad, his master sealed his mystical arts, saying that they would be released when the time was right.

Now, the time has come, just as Master said.

Lu Fan looked calmly at Wang Huajian, then suddenly smiled slightly: "Wang Huajian, your arrogance won't last long, including the movie star and wealthy mother behind you. Your family's days are numbered."

Wang Huajian's expression changed, and he roared, "You're talking nonsense! How dare you curse my family! You just wait!"

"Wait a minute, I'll pack my things," Avril said excitedly.

"What are you cleaning up!" Wang Huajian said impatiently. "It's all junk, I'll buy you new ones!"

Wang Huajian pulled Avril along and left Lu Fan's small apartment.

Lu Fan walked to the window, watching the flashy sports car roar away downstairs, and sighed softly, "Master is right, some fates cannot be forced. The marriage is doomed, it's better to end it sooner rather than later."

Then, Lu Fan manually cleared out Avril's belongings.

Not long after, Lu Fan's phone rang. When he answered it, he saw that it was his agent calling.

"Hello, Sister Qian!" Lu Fan answered the phone.

"Lu Fan," Feng Qianqian's voice was cold and hard, "your role in that film has been recast, you don't need to go."

Lu Fan was startled, then asked with some understanding, "Wasn't the contract signed? Wasn't the director very satisfied with me during the audition?"

Now Lu Fan realized that he was being targeted!

"The contract includes a clause stating that 'if an artist's personal image is severely damaged, Party A has the right to unilaterally terminate the cooperation.'" Feng Qianqian's voice was devoid of emotion. "Considering how long I've mentored you, I'll tell you. Wang Shao's side... is moving very quickly. The company's senior management just finished a meeting and decided to suspend all your activities, including that EP that's in preparation. You should... take a break for a while."

"A break?" Lu Fan smiled wryly. "It's more like being sidelined, Sister Qian."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Feng Qianqian's voice lowered, carrying a complex emotion: "Lu Fan, don't blame me. I was just following orders. In this industry... sometimes you have to accept your fate. Just bear with it, maybe things will calm down after a while..."

"Thank you for letting me know, Sister Qian." Lu Fan interrupted her and hung up the phone.

Lu Fan sneered.

Wang Huajian, a second-generation star and a second-generation rich kid, not only stole someone else's girlfriend but also tried to ruin their livelihood!

He walked to the computer and opened the social media platform.

He tidied the house in just over an hour.

In a short period of time, the hashtags #LuFanActsHighAndHigh# and #LuFanHarassesFemaleActressInThe SameGroup# are rapidly climbing the trending topics list.

Clicking through reveals several blurry behind-the-scenes photos. His cold expression is interpreted as "giving the cold shoulder," and moments of normal interaction with actresses are cropped into "touching each other."

Some girls also released so-called chat screenshots, claiming that Lu Fan had an inappropriate relationship with them, describing it in vivid detail.

Even more ruthless, the account of Xingyue Company, which he signed with, forwarded a post with the caption: "We are deeply saddened by this. The company has launched an internal investigation and is determined to safeguard the integrity of the industry."

These seemingly fair words actually confirm those accusations.

The comment section and private messages were instantly flooded with vicious curses and insults.

In an instant, Lu Fan became a pariah, hated by everyone.

Lu Fan knew what those people were thinking. Not to mention that he had only been in the industry for a year and was only somewhat famous.

Even second- or third-tier celebrities without a strong background can be blacklisted by their companies and never be able to make a comeback.

Lu Fan flipped through the false accusations, his eyes growing cold. "Turning black into white, spreading rumors and creating trouble—aren't these people afraid of karmic retribution?"

Lu Fan opened the drawer and took out an old wooden box containing three polished Qianlong Tongbao coins. His master had left them for him to use in a critical moment.

He held the copper coins in his palm, calmed his mind, silently pondered the matter, and then threw the coins onto the table.

Lu Fan looked at the hexagram and murmured, "Kan represents water, Dui represents marsh, and water and marsh are in harmony. There are many difficulties, but there is restraint. The turning point is in 'Dui,' which represents a young girl, words, and joy."

The key to solving this problem lies surprisingly in "women" and "words."

Lu Fan shook his head, feeling that fate was truly a strange thing: "It really is true that women can make or break a person. This time, it depends on how one 'pleases' and 'speaks' about it."

Just as he put away the copper coins, his phone rang again, and the name "Su Qin" appeared on the screen.

Lu Fan looked at the name, then at the divination result, his eyes flickering slightly.
