All his life, Lin Youcai has had a name that means “wealth,” but it seems the God of Wealth has blacklisted him. He gets cheated when looking for work, crashes his bike delivering food, rents a leaky apartment, and even the roadside lottery manages to give him an upgraded “Better Luck Next Time.”
Then one day, the Heavenly Court's finance department System crashes. When the gods investigate, they discover that every absurd financial-luck bug in the human world points to the same unlucky man: Lin Youcai.
So the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, is forced to descend to the mortal realm under the alias Zhao Ming and personally fix this “abnormally broke” glitch in the human world.
But he soon discovers that Lin Youcai isn't lacking in luck with money. He's been pinned down by an invisible fate. And behind this financial chaos lies a murky scheme spanning both the mortal realm and the Heavenly Court.
One is so poor he's questioning his whole life; the other is so distinguished he doesn't know how to scan a QR code. One wants to live with dignity; the other wants to patch a flaw in the heavenly order.
Starting with mutual dislike, the two work together to overcome obstacles, turn the tables, and change their fates. Along the way, they come to understand that:
Financial luck is never a gift that falls from the sky. It's momentum built up through every choice people make to refuse to surrender to fate.
Very well written
