If Qin Yannian had never appeared, Cheng Yanluo would have followed the usual path: become a university lecturer, marry her childhood friend, have one or two children, and live out a quiet, contented life. But later, she became Mrs. Qin, the lucky woman online who had married into a wealthy family.
When Qin Yannian was a child, a fortune-teller told him his life would go smoothly, except that he would suffer heartbreak. At the time, he hadn't taken it seriously.
