Jincheng was a koi who had just taken human form. Now that she was human, she had no idea where to go. She only remembered that someone had saved her, and she had to repay the debt of gratitude. She couldn't leave a karmic debt unpaid. Jincheng figured repaying the favor would be easy for a koi. Surely she wouldn't end up in a miserable state like the fox and snake spirits in the legends, all because she tried to repay a debt.
Her benefactor, Li Ziyou, was a poor college student in debt because of his father's gambling.
Jincheng thought this would be a piece of cake. Li Ziyou was poor, so she'd just make him rich.
She dragged Li Ziyou to buy a lottery ticket. All they needed was one ticket, and they could get rich overnight. But Li Ziyou wouldn't even spend two yuan. So she was forced to learn a little probability theory.
Her next plan was to get rich by picking up money, but that was shut down too. Even a coin found on the road had to be handed over to the police. So she was forced to take a lesson in civic morality.
Getting rich through a prize draw was shut down too, and she was forced to download an anti-fraud app.
Getting rich by saving someone was shut down too, and she was forced to learn all sorts of proper escape techniques.
Getting rich by investing in stocks was shut down too, and she was forced to read a pile of reports about people whose families had been destroyed by stock trading.
Getting rich by inheriting an estate was shut down. This stubborn fool only knew that you shouldn't accept anything you hadn't earned.
Getting rich through a redevelopment payout was shut down too. The house wasn't his, so he wouldn't take a windfall.
Getting rich by gambling on jade was shut down too. Jincheng looked at the piece of jade in her hand and thought she might never finish repaying this debt.
Making two million a day as a celebrity was shut down too. The stubborn fool thought he didn't deserve it.
Starting a business, becoming a tycoon, and reaching the peak of life was shut down too. The stubborn fool was a pessimist, thinking about bankruptcy before even opening a company.
The plan to marry a rich heiress and save himself twenty years of hard work was shut down too. Instead, she was pushed into the bathtub and kissed until she could hardly breathe, then made to answer Li Ziyou's question again and again: "Who are you going to marry?"
Jincheng looked at her scales, which were as patchy as a bald man's head, and suddenly felt a wave of sorrow. Maybe, just maybe, repaying him by giving herself to him would be easier.
A stubborn fool? A cute little koi
