Also known as The Days a Jinx Spent atoning in the Mortal World
(Jinx x God of Good Fortune)
Cheng Yi had spent a thousand years as a jinx in the underworld. Every day, she sent bad luck to the little ghosts who had done wrong in their previous lives, so they would get what was coming to them in their next ones.
On her thousandth birthday, Cheng Yi took a nap. When she woke up, she had become Cheng Yi, an unlucky actress in the mortal world.
Everyone knew Cheng Yi was the entertainment industry's bug. Any show she appeared in was sure to flop, any brand she endorsed would go bankrupt, and the equipment would always break down during her performances...
As time went by, the industry's bigwigs started avoiding her, and her career opportunities gradually dried up. When her contract with her company expired, she was facing the end of her career.
On the last variety show her company booked for her, everyone in the livestream chat was betting on what kind of disaster would end Cheng Yi's career.
Cheng Yi: Perfect. Making other people unlucky is what I'm best at.
Cheng Yi became the luckiest person on the show.

But Cheng Yi's unlucky nature was still there.
Cheng Yi: It's so hard to be unlucky in your human world.
As she drowned her sorrows in alcohol, a blue-haired man at the bar told her that if she wanted to stop being unlucky, she had to atone for her sins.
It turned out the original Cheng Yi had become unlucky because, before reincarnating, she'd received Cheng Yi's bad luck in the underworld!
Cheng Yi: Why should I atone for the sins she committed in her past life!?
Still, she'd have to work hard to atone.
After that, people noticed that the actress Cheng Yi had changed.
Fighting off criminals, saving people with quick wits, founding an anti-cyberbullying association, taking down pirated websites... One after another, these things that had once seemed completely unlike Cheng Yi became trending topics alongside her.
Cheng Yi became famous.
Meanwhile, the people who had once mocked, bullied, or framed her began running into trouble one after another.
Netizens: Could Cheng Yi be transferring her bad luck to other people!?
Later, a blue-haired man named Yun Zhijun appeared by Cheng Yi's side.
As soon as Yun Zhijun showed up, major talent agencies scrambled to sign him, but he chose Cheng Yi's studio.
No one but Cheng Yi knew that Yun Zhijun was a god.
"There's a saying in the human world: humans and ghosts belong to different worlds. And you're a god, no less."
"Gods and ghosts can work in mysterious ways, and ghosts and gods can do wondrous things. Good thing I'm a god. I can be a carefree god and ghost with you." That was what Yun Zhijun said.
