Yun Ying has always been great at stacking up good fortune.
She buys lucky charm spray by the case, treats numbers containing an 8 as the bare minimum, and always gets a front-row spot when praying to the gods and honoring her ancestors.
After becoming roommates with Lin Wangqi, she thinks the man is useless apart from being handsome: arrogant and aloof. Later, she discovers he's actually gentle and considerate.
Most importantly, in an AI fortune-telling mini-program developed by a friend, her and Lin Wangqi's compatibility by birth date is a whopping 99.999%.
The verdict reads: "This man brings prosperity to his wife. Marry him and you'll get rich."
Yun Ying refuses to believe it. She buys a stack of scratch cards and asks him to scratch them. She wins 5,000 yuan!
The restaurant-bar is on the verge of closing, but he sings a song and brings it back to life!
What are you waiting for? Go for it! Chase him! Get him!
Yun Ying is bound to win!
Wangqi is bound to bring his wife good fortune!

Lin Wangqi suspects Yun Ying has taken the wrong medicine. Lately, she's been unusually friendly and enthusiastic toward him.
She even props her chin on her hand and asks, "What do you think of me?"
He pauses, then presses two fingers to her forehead. "Not much."
After a series of run-ins, the man proves to be cold and heartless.
Yun Ying can't keep chasing him. With their lease about to expire, she speaks frankly with Lin Wangqi, telling him she's leaving and won't pursue him anymore.
The next day, she accidentally barges into his bathroom.
Steam swirls around eight-pack abs, a tantalizing sight, and something enormous...
Yun Ying's face burns and her heart races. Her nose is practically bleeding, but he stays remarkably calm and wraps a towel around himself.
"So, how are you going to take responsibility?"
"..."
Later.
Yun Ying pokes her tomato-red face out from under the covers and grits her teeth. "Didn't you say I wasn't much?"
Lin Wangqi is tying a knot. He looks back at her, his gaze falling on the several overlapping love bites. "Your stamina isn't much."

P.S. The novel does not endorse superstition. The heroine's superstitious behavior has a reason behind it.
