Strange things happen from the moment A Li is born: when she smiles, sweet rain falls from the sky; when someone bullies her, they lose money that very day.
After confirming that she is a “national fortune koi,” Ying Zheng wants to bring her into the imperial family and keep her all to himself.
Word gets out, and the chancellor, the great general, and the imperial clan all vie to curry favor with her. They shower her with treasures while secretly resorting to every kind of scheme, each hoping she will “look their way a little more.”
A Li is sharp as a tack. She can tell sincerity from pretense at a glance, and she refuses to play the saint and share the benefits equally. She only steers fortune toward those who genuinely serve the nation and its people. A treacherous chancellor pretends to befriend her, but really wants to manipulate her fortune and throw the court into chaos. She sets a trap, leaving him plagued by bad luck and humiliated in public. As she grows up, nobles from the former Six Kingdoms and Daoist masters set their sights on her fortune, hoping to “seize it and bring down Qin.” A Li joins forces with those who protect her and turns the tables on them time and again.
At the climax, the Daoist masters unleash an evil fortune-stealing formation. A Li uses righteous fortune to overcome its corruption, pushing the fortune of Great Qin to its zenith.
