For twenty-four years, Lin Mo has never had a break from bad luck.
He chokes on water, gets conned every time he looks for a job, and every stock he buys hits its daily limit down. He is, without a doubt, the unluckiest person on the entire internet.
With nowhere left to turn, he unexpectedly unlocks the ultimate rule of his bad-luck constitution: anything I believe is good is guaranteed to go wrong, while anything I’m certain is bad is guaranteed to come true in reverse!
From then on, the stock market gains a legendary inverse stock god. When he says a stock is sure to rise, retail investors short it overnight; when he says a project is bound to fail, the boss will sell everything he owns to get in on it.
National treasures are unearthed beneath unfinished buildings, culprits are identified at cold-case crime scenes, and disasters are forecast with pinpoint accuracy. Once dismissed by everyone as a bringer of bad luck, he is now the nation’s beloved lucky charm, chased by the entire internet.
When reporters interview him after he becomes the richest man in the country, Lin Mo looks helpless: Don’t ask. The answer is that it’s all thanks to my reverse good-luck charm. I really don’t want to win without lifting a finger!
