Meng Zhizhi became famous as the gaming streamer "I'm a Beauty" for three reasons: she's beautiful, sings sweetly, and has terrible luck.
Half the people in her livestream come to admire her looks, while the other half come to find comfort in her misfortune.
After all, her gacha pulls always hit the hard pity and give her a standard character instead. In horror games, she's always the first to get jumpscared by a monster. She can even get stuck on a level in a match-three game for 365 days, even when it's not supposed to be the hardest one.
Whoever entered her livestream had to post one thing: "Poor thing."

Ying Huai, lead artist at a famous game studio, was known as the ultimate carry. He could do a single pull for someone and get the rare character, or speedrun a horror game solo to unlock every achievement. He could even win every match-three game for 365 days straight.
He had plenty of admirers. Half were impressed by his artistic skill, while the other half wanted to borrow his incredible luck.
Sadly, as the one true god everyone at the office clamored for, his only daily pleasures were closing his office door, slacking off, and drawing anime girls.
"Waifus are the best!" Ying Huai declared.

When Meng Zhizhi played an online game in college, she took on a disciple who was unbelievably awful.
Every day, the moment he logged on, he would say, "Morning, my unlucky master!"
When Ying Huai played an online game in college, he took on a master who was the worst of the worst.
Every day, the moment he logged on, she would reply, "Your waifu has an official love interest!"
Then one day, their blind date turned into a face-to-face meeting between master and disciple.
"What the heck! Weren't you supposed to be a 192-centimeter, six-pack stud?"
"I'm dizzy! Weren't you supposed to be a 170-centimeter, long-legged beauty?"
So, this is the story of how my childhood friend, whom I hadn't seen in years, became my master/disciple.
Theme: When fate comes calling, there's no escaping it.
