The Comedian's Unlucky Days, but Good Luck Is Never Far Away

At 23, Lin Xiaochai is a funny young woman who turns her streak of bad luck into a comedy routine. She gets up early and her phone smacks her in the face, the chain on her shared bike snaps and sends her tumbling into a flower bed, her computer crashes at midnight and wipes out her work proposal, and she even smashes a display rack at a milk tea shop, cutting her finger. But somehow, good luck always follows the bad: the day a bird poops on her, she finds tickets to her idol's concert on the roadside; after losing her proposal, she wins over headquarters with an improvised, hilarious user skit and gets an unexpected opportunity; and when she breaks the display rack, Gu Yu, the kind milk tea shop employee, waives the damages and hands her grape tea with milk foam and a bandage. A junior operations specialist at an internet company, she gradually turns her life around with her optimism, laughing even after she falls, and her kindness, always ready to lend a hand when someone needs help. She helps a lost elderly man find his way home, only to discover he is a retired director at a partner company. She helps a delivery rider who's running late finish a drop-off, and he becomes an amateur blogger whose event goes viral. Even Manager Zhang, her department head, admires her knack for turning disasters into creative ideas and puts her in charge of a citywide youth stress-relief festival. By her side are Lily, her sharp-tongued but warm-hearted best friend who always backs up her files, and Gu Yu, who remembers she likes extra pearls and full sweetness. They help her weather the ups and downs at work. No one knows there's no such thing as being born lucky. She just gets back up when she falls, helps people without expecting anything in return, and treats every mishap as a joke life has handed her. Like a cup of extra-sweet milk tea, this story is full of small victories at work, the warmth of friendship, and a little romance. It's impossible to read without smiling. It turns out people who love to laugh really can turn bad days into a life full of surprises.
