Xue Tang debuted as a rookie actor, and his debut role was the peak of his career. Since then, he's been stuck with either terrible dramas or terrible roles. He's been firmly branded as a spoiled rich kid, a rude star with a stinking attitude, extravagant, difficult to communicate with, cold and mean, disrespectful to women, and more. He's even been given the insulting nickname "useless traffic star." He's a top-tier star hated by the entire internet, with nothing going for him but his face.
Xue Miao, a former office worker who'd had enough of the grind and gone freelance, takes a side job one day: playing Xue Tang's older sister and appearing with him on a slow-paced farming variety show.
Xue Miao: ...With this many debuffs stacked on us, are we really not a pair of evil supporting characters meant to make each other look bad?
Sure enough, as soon as the show is announced, Xue Miao discovers that the black-fan filter on them seems to have been set in stone. No matter what they do, people criticize them. The live trending topics are full of question marks and jokes, all dripping with malice.
[Xue Tang has a sister? What kind of brother and sister are these? Neither of them is any good, I'll bet...]
[Seriously, doesn't the production team vet its cast? How can they let any old ugly loser get involved with a national slow-paced variety show???]
[Everyone else reposted the announcement to promote it. Why didn't those two?]
[Why would those two nobodies repost it? Are they trying to ride on their seniors' popularity?]
Filming begins, and after taking one blow after another, Xue Miao finally can't take it anymore. She powers through a whole stack of debuffs, and things take a complete turn. She and her little brother become famous for farming on a slow-paced variety show!
Xue Miao: I knew people couldn't really be this unlucky.

On the first day of the show, the livestream is full of people waiting for a spectacle. Every other comment is an insult. But the moment the siblings appear
[Holy crap, what kind of genes do they have? They're so gorgeous, one handsome and one beautiful. How could people call them ugly?]
As the episodes gradually air, everyone is left speechless.
When doing farm work, everyone else drags their feet, but the two of them are the most efficient.
When playing games, everyone else struggles miserably, but the two of them are fiercely competitive.
When learning traditional crafts, everyone else is on the beginner's tutorial, but the two of them rocket ahead!
[Wait, isn't their family rich? Nobody told me Xue Tang could dig, catch fish, ride horses, climb mountains, and farm! He can play the qin too?!]
[His sister is incredible. How can she be so beautiful and know how to do everything!!!]
The audience's black-fan filter shatters, and before they know it, the two of them are famous all over the internet.
Xue Tang: My sister was right. People can't really be this unlucky.

Later, public opinion turns around, but among the many compliments about the show, some comments about their strange luck start to appear.
[They're terrifyingly capable, but the Xue siblings really are so unlucky...]
[Now that you mention it, they could've done even better, but all kinds of inexplicable things keep slowing them down.]
[Including, but not limited to: the bucket falling into the well when they draw water, tools breaking as soon as they use them, and tripping on flat ground more times than everyone else put together?]
[Aw, how tragic! But I noticed that every time Xue Miao gets close to Shen Yebai, she becomes less unlucky!]
[Yep! That's why I ship "Miao Ye"!]
[Wait, but why is Xue Tang going to Mr. Shen to borrow his luck too?]
[Come on, he's her brother-in-law. What's wrong with borrowing a little luck from him?]
Shen Yebai: Miao Miao is right. I'm really lucky. I never have bad luck.
Premise: Sincerity is the ultimate weapon
