Lin Xiaoman is a delivery rider who braves wind and rain every day, racing through streets and alleys to deliver every order on time and earn the meager income he needs to get by. One night, as torrential rain pours down, the gears of fate begin to turn. He receives a peculiar order. When he follows the address to a remote old alley, the customer offers him not payment for the meal, but a warm little copper ingot.
Who could have guessed that this tiny copper ingot would be like a key, opening the door to a wondrous connection between Lin Xiaoman and the God of Wealth’s Bureau? That night, the ingot glows, revealing the phantom image of a low-ranking clerk from the bureau. The clerk tells Lin Xiaoman that he has been chosen as an “Acting God of Wealth,” tasked with quietly bringing good fortune to those destined to receive it as he goes about his daily delivery work. Completely unprepared, Lin Xiaoman embarks on a one-of-a-kind part-time job, delivering both food and fortune.
Along the way, he encounters all kinds of people and situations. He brings opportunities to a young person who has been driven to despair by a failed startup, rekindling their hope. He helps an elderly couple who have run a quiet street stall for years attract a crowd of customers, until a long line forms in front of their stand. He helps an overworked programmer on the verge of a breakdown earn recognition and secure investment for a project. But the path to bringing fortune is not always smooth. Sometimes he messes up, such as accidentally delivering academic luck to an office worker and triggering a string of mishaps. He also has to contend with “Misfortune Ghosts,” who disrupt his work and cancel out the good fortune he delivers.
As the God of Wealth’s Bureau’s tests and the secrets of the Celestial Court gradually come to light, Lin Xiaoman faces trial after trial and grows along the way, until he finally makes his own choice. His story continues to unfold amid the bustle and warmth of everyday life...
