A Boiling Cauldron of Oil

[A young metaphysical prodigy who becomes rich X A romantic playboy whose luck runs out before he can even start having fun] Lin Tiantian's master tells her she'll suffer a romantic calamity at the age of nineteen. Lin Tiantian draws in a sharp breath and asks, "Do I have to be the one who gets hurt? Could the other person be the one to suffer instead?" Her master looks at her for a long while. "I've never heard of that happening before. Maybe... you could try?" So when the notorious playboy from her high school class fails to recognize her outside her university and tries to pick her up, Lin Tiantian smiles at him. In short, she has no reason to feel guilty. Reader's Guide: 1. Short story. Happy ending from the heroine's perspective, bad ending from the hero's. The male lead is a virgin. 2. Open ending. It's unclear whether the leads end up together. You could say the hero has unrequited feelings. As for the heroine, let's just say she loved him once. 3. A lighthearted, angst-free short story, probably not very logical. Premise: Love your work
