Qi Xiaoyi knew from the day she was born that she was different.
Because there was a System in her head.
The System said its job was to help its Host maintain a balance of good fortune and misfortune.
If something bad happened today, something good would happen tomorrow.
If something good happened today, something bad would happen tomorrow.
So whenever Qi Xiaoyi tripped, walked into a lamppost, or got caught in the middle of a fight through no fault of her own, her grin nearly stretched up to the sky.
"Hello, is this Ms. Qi? This is the Song Group. Congratulations! You won second prize in the raffle we held last week: a luxury trip for two to Europe..."
"Uh... are you sure you've got the right person? I didn't enter any raffle."
"But... we have your information on file..."
[Congratulations, Host. You have borrowed 100 good-fortune points. Current total: 250.]
Qi Xiaoyi: "System, are you fucking with me?!"
Blunt version of the blurb:
Ever since Qi Xiaoyi met Song Xi, she felt like she'd had the worst luck of her life.
But the System insisted she was having the best luck of her life.
[Congratulations, Host. You have borrowed 800 good-fortune points. Current total: negative and incalculable.]
Qi Xiaoyi: "..." Fuck my life.
