The whole city is waiting for Su Jinyao to end up an old maid.
After all, she's widely known to have a disastrous fate: a broken palm line, ill luck for her family and husband. When the Lu family broke off their engagement, half the capital showed up to laugh at her.
But they don't know...
When she fell into a lake, a piece of wood floated over and saved her.
When her home caught fire, she happened to be out and escaped disaster.
A spooked horse charged at her, then stopped just three inches away.
A flower she planted on a whim bloomed into a twin lotus, a once-in-a-century sight.
Her stepfather was promoted three ranks, her grandfather made money every day, and an old matriarch who was on her deathbed lived another ten years after Su Jinyao helped her up.
That's a disastrous fate? She's Heaven's own darling!
When Prince Jing arrived with a bridal procession stretching ten miles to ask for her hand, the whole city went wild.
Su Jinyao: "My lord, you're fated to be alone. Aren't you afraid I'll bring you bad luck?"
Xiao Jue removed his mask. "You're the very jinx I've been waiting for."
