Maybe she hadn’t prayed hard enough in her previous life, because misfortune seemed to cling to her in this one. Bei Xinchen was unlucky to the extreme.
First, on their second anniversary, her scumbag boyfriend cheated on her and humiliated her in the worst way. Then a man who appeared like a god came to her rescue, even though not long before, he had ruined one of her new dresses.
Later, the father who had kicked her out of the house went bankrupt without warning, leaving her saddled with a mountain of debt.
And later still, on the well-meaning advice of a clingy nuisance, she boarded a pirate ship from which there was no return.
Scene One:
Some guy: “Bei Xinchen, when you see that scumbag doing better than you, do you want him to die before you do?”
Bei Xinchen: “What’s the plan?”
Some guy: “Marry me. Then you’ll be his aunt by marriage.”
That’s right: life is precious, but being his aunt is even better!
Letting that scumbag live happier than her? Not a chance! If she couldn’t be his lover, she’d become his elder and make sure he was miserable.
