{ COMPLETED } It's free so please add it to your collection ❤ Xu Gui's biggest regret in this life was that she was too lazy to retract into her turtle shell during her tribulation. When she opened her eyes again, she had gone from a turtle to a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry, facing a death sentence on the reality show "360 Trades"—the show lasted for one month, and the invited celebrities needed to find work and work hard to earn money. After one month, the person who earned the most money would be the final winner. And in front of Xu Gui, a mountain of dirty dishes was soaking in dish soap foam, grinning at her. Xu Gui pulled out a fortune-telling banner she had hastily made overnight, the large, bold characters in ink flowing like dragons and phoenixes— "Fortune-telling!" Under the overpass, three fortune-telling stall owners sneered at the young woman: "Are celebrity hype stories this outrageous these days?" * Faced with three bald, middle-aged men with grown sons, she asked about her children. "Your destiny palace indicates no children, and the Red Phoenix Star above your head carries a green light..." the young woman subtly advised, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" That very night, news of a group chairman's marital breakdown went viral. Facing a young woman who ostensibly told fortunes but secretly boasted about her husband's generosity, Xu Gui tentatively asked, "...Is it possible that this bankbook you have is fake?" The entire internet watched, and the bankbook was indeed handwritten; the dowry of three million was actually only three hundred. At first, netizens scoffed at Xu Gui's money-making live streams. But later... netizens exclaimed: "It's so good!" The live stream chat went from "Get out of the entertainment industry, you charlatan!" to "Master, can you tell if I'm some rich kid who's fallen into poverty?" Xu Gui's live stream went from being ignored to becoming the most popular. Gradually, countless people started offering money to have Xu Gui tell their fortunes. Xu Gui slumped in his wicker chair, swinging his legs: "Three fortunes for today are done. Please come back tomorrow." The production team lamented: "The other guests are all serving food and handing out flyers, how could you..." The camera panned across the top of the donation leaderboard, and the production team fell silent.

It follows Joseph, a gifted and spiritually sensitive young man favored by his father Jacob, whose prophetic dreams reveal a destiny far greater than he can understand.

Yet through unwavering faith, integrity, and spiritual discipline, he rises from a household servant to a trusted figure in Potiphar’s estate. Even as temptation and trials threaten to derail him, Joseph remains committed to his moral convictions and belief in God’s plan.
