Jiang Wan is cursed to be a solitary star, bringing bad luck to everyone who comes near her. To stay alive, she hides in a corner of the night market and runs a little stall that no one ever visits.
On the night the seventh time loop resets, a man in a suit stumbles beneath her awning. He has been struck by a deadly aura that has seeped into his bones, and he’ll be dead within three minutes.
Jiang Wan casually hands him a bowl of egg fried rice. “Want some? It’s free.”
After he finishes eating, the deadly aura dissipates from his body, and a wisp of golden fortune rises above his head. A book titled The Spiritual Food Cookbook appears out of nowhere in Jiang Wan’s storage space.
As it turns out, her curse works both ways: making others unlucky builds up her misfortune points, while helping people avert disaster lets her trade those points for a food-related golden finger.
The next day, the man becomes Lin Yuan City’s richest tycoon and names her as the personal chef he wants to hire. One big shot after another hears the news and comes to line up for her “blessed meals.”
But as Jiang Wan eyes the price column on the menu, she smiles.
“Want to eat my food? Sign a contract first: you get unlucky, I’m happy.”
