The God of Good Fortune, Yi Ning'an, woke up to find himself with nothing at all, completely broke.
The treasure-filled grotto realm was gone, the War God who had shared life and death with him had run off, and the ferocious beast guarding the place had starved until it was as skinny as a kitten.
Looking at the hungry little beast curled in his arms, whimpering, Yi Ning'an had no choice but to leave the mountain and enter the mortal world, setting out to earn money, feed his beast, and find himself a husband.
He heard that livestreaming could make good money, so Yi Ning'an started a fortune-drawing livestream.
A new livestream channel called "Good Luck Is Here" appeared on Panda Live. The streamer was a cat with horns, and every day it drew only three fortune slips.
Netizens were drawn to the horned cat and tuned in. Within a couple of days of following it, the comments were in an uproar:
Netizen "I Want a Partner" said, "I don't know what to make of this. I said I wanted a kind and considerate partner, and the next day a gorgeous girl with a sweet voice confessed to me. But I'm a woman too."
"Get Rich by 300,000" said, "Well, I wished to get rich by 300,000, and the next day I got hit by a car and broke a leg. I had to lie at home for half a year, but I did get 300,000 in compensation. The streamer really is accurate."
"Working at a Funeral Home" said, "Thanks for asking. The streamer is the real deal. I just changed jobs and my salary really did go up tenfold, though the side effect is pretty bad. Ghosts keep coming to chat with me..."
After one thoroughly satisfying round of wish fulfillment with a twist, Good Luck Is Here went viral. Even the fortune-telling masters from the Supernatural Association came to wish for good luck.
Unfortunately, good luck came at a price. Even the masters had to accept whatever fate dealt them.
But there was one exception. Li Shuo, the association's coldest and most ruthless team leader, stopped Yi Ning'an, the association's mascot, and asked in an icy voice, "Why don't my wishes come true, and why am I getting bad luck?"
Holding the little beast, Yi Ning'an gave a sneer, cool and haughty. "A man who abandons his husband and child doesn't deserve good luck. Go have a rotten time, you scumbag!"
Later, the members of the Supernatural Association watched their team leader trailing behind Yi Ning'an, looking aggrieved, helpless, and like a total pushover. Their jaws hit the floor, and they rushed to spam likes on Good Luck Is Here: "The cold-faced, domineering team leader who treats his subordinates like dirt is getting chewed out by his wife again today. This little mouse is so happy!"
The protagonist is the God of Good Fortune, with his good-luck buff stacked to the max. The love interest had a reason for abandoning his husband and child; he's not really a scumbag.
