Yu Nan has a strange ability.
Whether he wants to or not, as soon as he feels even the slightest flutter of affection for someone, that person will fall hopelessly in love with him within three days.
But the effect of this ability also lasts only three days.
Because of this power, Yu Nan has been single his whole life and has never dared to date anyone in real life.
Luckily, Yu Nan is also a hardcore anime fan.
What’s not to love about anime? Every character is handsome, knows just what to say, and is safely separated from him by the fourth wall, so his ability can’t affect them.
Yu Nan never holds back his affection for them.
Until one day, he transmigrated to the continent of Teyvat in a dream.
Yu Nan: ...
To keep his ability from triggering whenever he saw a handsome face, Yu Nan chose to cover his eyes. Then, in his dream, he dusted off his long-neglected tarot cards to earn some money.
That was when Yu Nan discovered that he had more than one strange ability.
After an accident caused his blindfold to fall off and his power to activate, he turned his client, a certain prison administrator from Fontaine, into a card and brought him into the real world.
After that, Yu Nan realized that the blindfolded anti-handsome-face sealing technique was gradually becoming useless.
He hadn’t even seen his clients’ faces, yet one after another they came knocking on his door, declaring that they had fallen in love with him and demanding that he take responsibility.
Sometimes, Yu Nan couldn’t help wondering: had his ability really activated?
A certain Ling, who wishes to remain anonymous: It has.
A certain Zhong, who wishes to remain anonymous: Hmm...
A certain Hai, who wishes to remain anonymous: What do you think?
After using an ever-growing collection of cards x ex-boyfriends √ to punch stalkers, blind-date prospects, and his unscrupulous gambling-addict dad, and getting promoted to become a nocturnal urban hero, Yu Nan finally understood.
So he was a Kuroliod who made a card every time he dated, and grew stronger the more he dated.

Many years later, after graduating from university and accumulating five years of grassroots work experience, Yu Nan had collected a complete set of ex-boyfriend cards. He still thought back to the night someone whispered those devilish words to him.
Wriothesley: “Actually, I first learned about you four years ago from that popular novel in Teyvat. A few of my rivals, oh, in your words, maybe they’re my ‘fellow fans’, read it too. So I think your ability can work even through a screen.”
“In Teyvat, you’re the hot character everyone’s obsessed with ; )”
Yu Nan: ...?!
Even my fave wants me? For real?!

1. A fluffy, mindless comedy with some face-slapping. This is a self-indulgent story, so there will definitely be some out-of-character moments.
2. I’m a total beginner when it comes to tarot. The cards associated with each character may change along with the plot, and definitely won’t be entirely accurate.
3. Couple: Wriothesley. Yu Nan is extremely popular throughout the story.
