#Story Blurb#

Bad-luck constitution + jinx buff = God of Misfortune

Trips on flat ground while walking, finds bugs in his food;

It always rains when he goes out, but clears up when he opens an umbrella;

Works as a waiter, gets three shops shut down;

The owner tearfully begs him, please don't come back!

Shen Chen says, “How about I just stay home and never go out?”

The next day, he went out to buy instant noodles to fill his stomach.

At a convenience store, Shen Chen was about to open a packet of instant noodles at the counter.

The clerk said, “Hello, we don't offer noodle-cooking services here.”

Shen Chen smiled politely. “I don't need you to cook them. I just want to ask, if there's no seasoning packet, can I exchange them?”

The clerk was silent for two seconds. “If you open them here, you can exchange them...”

And so, three packets in a row had no seasoning packets.

Shen Chen smiled. “Could I exchange this one too, please?”

The clerk: ...

Just then, Hao Yun came in to buy something. Unable to watch any longer, he casually took a packet of noodles from the shelf and handed it over. “Try this one?”

Shen Chen smiled as he took it. “Sure!”

A little red card lay quietly beside the seasoning packet.

“Congratulations! You won a prize!”

Shen Chen: Walk straight down the road with your head lowered. With bad luck, you'll hit a utility pole. With good luck... you'll hit his arms!

Hao Yun: I don't know why, but I keep seeing someone walk into a utility pole.

2. Mutual feelings, one-on-one romance.

3. A genuinely unlucky, goofy, smiley pursuer x a seemingly lucky, aloof, reserved pursued.

4. They spoil each other. The pursuer is mischievous, and the pursued is wonderful. Hao Yun means good luck.

5. Rule number one for avoiding bad luck: hold hands first, then share a kiss.

#Serious Contemporary Danmei Coming Soon: My Patient Refuses to Behave Again#

The ward caught fire, so the two of them ran away.

Gu Yan was a twenty-one-year-old college graduate, fresh out for job interviews, and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy his bright future.

Then his so-called family sent him to an asylum.

While escaping, he also took a patient with him.

In this place, you can't trust anyone's words, not even your own!

See? I lied to you in my very next sentence.

[Bonus Scene]

Shen Qing: I dreamed about you last night.

Gu Yan: ??

Shen Qing: I dreamed I stole your instant noodle seasoning packet, and you kept cursing while you cooked the noodles.

Gu Yan: Are you fucking crazy?

Shen Qing: Yes, that's exactly what you said!
