You're So Mean, You Brooding Man

Gu Xi remembered that her aunt had once told her fortune: she shouldn't date before turning twenty-seven, because every relationship would come to nothing. Her destined one would fall from the sky when she was twenty-seven. At first, Gu Xi didn't believe it. At twenty-two, she dated a man. Three months later, they broke up, and he got back together with his childhood sweetheart. At twenty-three, she dated someone else. Two months later, they broke up, and she found out she'd been the other woman. Yes, her boyfriend and the other woman were deeply in love, and she had innocently been made the other woman. At twenty-four, refusing to believe in bad luck, she tried dating again. Just before graduation, her boyfriend confessed in spectacular fashion that he was getting engaged to his professor's daughter so he could study abroad. Auntie, could your big mouth be any more accurate? After graduation, Gu Xi didn't dare go near another man. Handsome men were just eye candy to her, and objects of desire she wouldn't dare hope to have. But when the final day of her twenty-seventh year arrived, she was still alone. Just as Gu Xi was about to roar at her aunt that even a fortune-teller with a divine tongue could be wrong sometimes, She met someone just hours before turning twenty-eight: a certain creature with a belly full of wicked schemes. She began to fall apart! Theme:
