*I haven't stockpiled as many chapters as I hoped QAQ. The start date is yet to be decided, sometime in 2026.
Jiang Shangxue, the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yu dynasty, is struck by divine lightning sent down by the Heavenly Dao while subduing a thousand-year-old drought demon. She dies on the spot... only to wake up in the body of a dead, universally hated starlet.
As soon as she opens her eyes, several blood-red words appear before her: LIFE COUNTDOWN: 7 DAYS.
Jiang Shangxue: ?
Later, she discovers that telling someone's fortune earns her an extra day of life.
So Jiang Shangxue, whose life has been trampled underfoot, is forced to set up a fortune-telling stall.
Until she meets the famous Best Actress Yu Wuyou, whose natural good fortune brings her luck, and whose close touch can even extend Jiang Shangxue's life.

At a variety show, a female cast member suddenly becomes possessed, and nobody dares approach her. Jiang Shangxue casually sticks a talisman on her, and she comes to her senses at once.
Her teammates: ? Was that staged?
In behind-the-scenes footage from a film set, a famous anti-fan causes a scene in the comments, accusing Jiang Shangxue of promoting feudal superstition. Within a day, the anti-fan earns the title "Born with the World's Worst Luck."
Netizens: ? She might actually be the real deal!
To stay alive, Jiang Shangxue tells fortunes while constantly arranging to bump into the Best Actress. Her fans berate her as an irrelevant nobody shamelessly clinging to a star's coattails. That night, the Best Actress makes a surprise appearance on a livestream to show her wholehearted support.
Fans: ? Is this for real?
**
More and more people come around, but Jiang Shangxue only devotes herself to protecting one person.
And while protecting her... she ends up luring her into bed too.
"Miss Yu, I see that the Three Flowers gather at your crown and lucky stars shine upon you. There's just one thing missing from your fate."
The other woman's ears turn red. "What's missing this time?"
Jiang Shangxue gives a low laugh and kisses her. "Me."
