    Reader note

    My darlings, this book perfectly matches the title. The male and female leads are cousins, and the Empress Dowager is the female lead's aunt. Once, the aunt took the female lead to a blessing ceremony, where an old monk said the female lead could bring good fortune to her. The female lead's previous marriages had already fallen through three times, and she was said to be a jinx to her husbands, but because she comes from a prominent family, no one spread such rumors. The male lead is naturally weak, which the story says is because his destiny is too noble for his body to handle. There's also a scene where the two of them team up to fight a time-traveling woman. Ahem, any more spoilers! A few things to avoid: ① Childbirth ② Female dominance (not 4i)
