A poor student who has had terrible luck his whole life grits his teeth and spends a whopping 10 yuan on a fortune reading.
The master tells him his life will be full of hardships, with obstacles at every turn, and that the only solution is:
"Become a civil servant?"
The hapless little student, who can't do anything right, follows the master's advice and studies diligently for three years. Every time, he misses the mark by 0.1 points.
The little student: "... That fortune-teller lied to me!"
At last, the little student is picked up by a supernatural affairs department, the Three Realms Joint Affairs Office. Apparently, the director personally named him for a special hire.
And so begins his muddleheaded career of winning without lifting a finger:
At the market, the vegetable seller insists on giving him half a chicken for free.
"??? Don't you usually give me rotten scallions?"
After an exam, he suddenly receives a doctoral admission letter.
"??? Has my unparalleled genius finally been discovered?"
He buys a lottery ticket and somehow wins a villa.
The little student: "Ahhhhh! That master really was telling the truth! I have to prepare a generous gift and thank him properly."
The director approaches with an expressionless face, pats the little student's shoulder, and says meaningfully:
"Thank me instead. As for your thank-you gift... how about you give yourself to me?"
The little student: "Is this what they mean by 'better to marry well than to be lucky'?"

The department head says coldly, "Come here. Let me kiss you."
The poor student shrinks his neck. "...We're from different worlds, human and ghost."
The department head raises an eyebrow. "Looks like we'll have to follow the proper procedure for civil service recruitment from now on."
The poor student lifts the hem of his shirt. "Don't! Come on, Lord Ghost King, what position do you like?"
[Mini-scene 2]
The poor student puts his hands on his hips. "Just tell me, was that fortune-telling Taoist sent by you or not?"
The department head answers evasively, "I'm a government official. I don't deal in feudal superstition."
