Chapter 38: Reincarnation is a Technical Affair

To speak of reincarnation, it's truly an art form; landing a good reincarnation spot relies on one's fate. Among the second generation of the Song Family brothers, none reincarnated better than Fourth Master Song Zhiyu.

Unlike his elder brothers Song Zhiyuan and Song Zhicheng, who experienced hardship growing up, starting from humble beginnings—or even the third son, who was born when the Song Family was just beginning to prosper—Song Zhiyu was born during the peak of the family's glory, truly born with a silver spoon in his mouth as the youngest in the family. His cherished status was evident.

Song Zhiyu's fate was foretold by a high monk at birth; he was destined for wealth and good fortune, the kind where a flower pot would fall from above but be blown off course by the wind, missing him entirely.

However, he lacked the fate for officialdom, so as of now, Song Zhiyu is merely a Tongsheng after passing the child exam twice unsuccessfully, still studying in the Qingyang Academy.
