"Extra, extra, the first beauty of Imperial University has been rejected by Tang Sen!" The gossiping women of Imperial University spread this news throughout the entire campus in an instant.
"This is the 147th girl Tang Sen has rejected. Oh my God! What kind of woman does he like?"
"I heard from the girls who were rejected that he only likes otaku girls. Any girl who isn't an otaku has no chance with him."
"Really? Why? He is so handsome, excellent in both character and studies, excels in sports, can cook, and is full of positive energy. Why does he have to like gloomy otaku girls?"
Such discussions spread throughout the campus, causing a huge stir. It wasn't until the afternoon that a male classmate of Tang Sen revealed a major scoop: "Do you know why Tang Sen likes otaku girls? Hahaha! Because he was raised by an otaku woman!"
"What? What's the story? Tell us more!"
"Tang Sen's mother was only 14 when she and his father had a forbidden relationship and got pregnant with him... His father turned out to be a irresponsible bastard who ran away as soon as he heard about the pregnancy. His mother, despite being disowned by her parents and facing society's scorn, managed to give birth to him and raise him with great hardship... So, even though Tang Sen is 20, his mother is only 34 this year, very young and beautiful... She was once looked down upon by everyone around her, so she stopped going out and gradually became a super otaku, staying at home all day and earning money by running an online store to support his education. It was really tough for her..."
"I see, a single-parent family. No wonder he is so good at housework and cooking. His mother is truly great."
"Indeed, she is great. Because he was raised by such a great otaku mother, he grew up believing that otaku girls are the best women in the world, no exceptions! This strong belief is unshakable."
Such stories about Tang Sen continued to spread throughout Imperial University... Many girls who secretly admired him were heartbroken... No one expected that the most famous and handsome campus heartthrob, the all-around excellent Tang Sen, would only be interested in otaku girls. How could the girls bear it?
Tang Sen didn't care about what others said about him. He attended classes, took notes, and studied hard as usual, not wasting time on gossip. He aimed to graduate with the best grades, find the best job, earn a lot of money, and let his mother live a happy and joyful life, making up for the hardships she endured raising him for 20 years...

In the year 2015 of the Fengma Calendar, in the Western Ox-Heaven Continent, on Spirit Mountain, in the Great Thunderclap Temple.
"I finally found him, I really found him!" Manjushri Bodhisattva stumbled into the grand hall filled with deities: "The man Rulaifang requested is handsome, charming, filial, good at housework, an excellent cook, and loves otaku girls... I finally found a man who meets all the conditions!"
"Really? You actually found such a man?" All the deities were stunned, their mouths wide open, large enough to fit a walnut, even a watermelon.
"From the Eastern Victory Continent, the Tang Dynasty, a second-year student at Imperial University, Tang Sen!" Manjushri Bodhisattva drew a line in the air, and a mirror appeared, showing Tang Sen's handsome face.
"Times have changed. If you want to show us his appearance, just take a digital photo. Why use such outdated magic?" The deities harshly criticized Manjushri Bodhisattva, adding, "Rural bumpkin!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva had to shrink back...
The deities stared at Tang Sen in the mirror for a while and sighed together: "So handsome, it's hard to look at... Will such a handsome man really come to marry Rulaifang? It seems quite difficult."
"Indeed, it's hard to see how Rulaifang matches him."
"It seems that convincing this man to travel thousands of miles to the West to seek Buddha and propose will be quite challenging..."
"True, why would he come?"
"In this situation, we can only rely on Guanyin! With her super cunning, she can definitely trick this man into coming to the West to seek the scriptures..."
"Agreed, quickly invite the Southern Sea Guanyin..."

Lunch break time arrived, and students began to flood into the cafeteria. Tang Sen picked up his Lock&Lock lunch box and followed the crowd towards the cafeteria... As he walked, he felt someone brush against his arm. It was a girl from the neighboring class, who seemed to have fallen accidentally. Tang Sen knew very well that this was another girl trying to take advantage of the situation.
In places like buses, busy city centers, and cafeteria lines, girls would always find excuses to brush against him. Tang Sen was already numb to such crazy women. Fine, since you pretend to fall accidentally, I'll pretend not to notice.
Tang Sen extended his hand and politely supported the girl, smiling, "Be careful, don't fall."
The girl's face turned pink, and she retreated contentedly, whispering to her friend, "I succeeded, I brushed against the handsome Tang Sen."
"Keep it up, next time not only brush against him, but hug him too," her friend suggested.
"Unfortunately, I'm not an otaku, so I can only get close to him this way..." The girl's tone was very gloomy.
"You should say, 'Unfortunately, I'm not a spider demon, otherwise I would have taken him back to my cave and made him my husband,' hehe," her friend teased.
Tang Sen couldn't help but laugh bitterly inside. Hey, your voices are too loud, I can hear everything.
Following the crowd to the cafeteria entrance, a large group of students gathered under a tree on the left side, making a lot of noise, as if there was a discount sale going on. Tang Sen became interested. He loved discount sales because his family's financial situation wasn't great, and to save money for his mother and reduce her burden, he usually bought discounted items. He squeezed through the crowd without thinking.
Unfortunately, there was no discount sale. There was only a table with a jade bottle and a willow branch on it, and behind the table sat a woman in ancient attire, wearing a white dress and a white veil, about 22 years old, with a holy and dignified appearance, like a celestial being descended to earth, captivating everyone's attention.
No wonder so many students gathered here, they were all watching the ancient beauty!
The ancient beauty's eyes swept over Tang Sen, a flash of light in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she looked away.
She smiled and solemnly addressed the male students gathered around her, "Hello, everyone. I am the Great Compassionate and Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, but my name is too long, so you can call me Guanyin Sister. Today, I have descended to the mortal world to set up a fortune-telling stall, offering free fortune-telling to predict your good and bad luck. Is anyone interested in trying?"
The crowd, including Tang Sen, broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, such a beautiful woman, but she's crazy. What a pity!
Although they had determined she was crazy, beauty is still beauty, and there were always men who would try to help. A male student pushed through the crowd to the fortune-telling table and smiled, "Guanyin Sister, can you tell my fortune? I want to know my luck for tomorrow... I'm here to support you, can you give me your QQ number after the reading?"
The woman in ancient attire, calling herself Guanyin Sister, calculated with her fingers and then said seriously, "Student, at 12:08:32 PM tomorrow, you will buy a lunch box in the cafeteria. One minute and thirty seconds later, the lunch box will fall to the ground. Two seconds later, you will accidentally step on the fried eggplant that fell out. One second later, you will fall face-first and lose consciousness. Fourteen minutes and fifty-three seconds later, you will be taken to the hospital..."
Guanyin Sister added, "If you want to avoid this misfortune, buy a pair of red candles and a bundle of incense, and go to the nearest Guanyin Temple to pray to me. Your wish will be recorded in today's wish list, and when I process the list, I can help you avoid this disaster."
The male student: "..."
The onlookers: "..."
Hey, what's this nonsense? Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Tang Sen thought to himself: This is a strange woman, I must not get involved with her. I need to leave quickly.
Actually, he wasn't the only one thinking this. All the students had the same thought and scattered with a loud shout, leaving Guanyin Sister alone at the fortune-telling table.
Guanyin Sister didn't get angry. She smiled and murmured, "The net has been cast, now I just need to wait for the harvest tomorrow..."
