After Lin Xiaoman, a 35-year-old office drone, works herself to death, she transmigrates into a historical romance novel as a cannon-fodder supporting character who doesn’t survive past chapter three. Her family framed the original owner and abandoned her in a mass grave to die, but she unexpectedly binds herself to the Reverse Prophecy System. Saying “It’s a bad day to go out” means she’s sure to find treasure. Complaining “This place has terrible feng shui” leads straight to the discovery of a thousand-year-old jade pendant. Even grumbling “The Crown Prince won’t survive the night” produces an accurate prophecy about a royal secret.
To save her life, she performs a ritual to bless the mass grave, stepping over skulls as she recites the Great Compassion Mantra, unaware that the real Crown Prince, Zhao Heng, is standing behind her in disguise. When the “jinx” meets the “walking lucky charm,” every complaint she makes becomes an accurate prophecy, and he escapes danger time and again thanks to her.
