The Charming Wife and the Bone-Reading Diviner

Nine out of ten fortune-tellers are disabled, and Ye Lu is the last one in the group. She isn’t disabled. But to make a living, she has to pretend she is, posing as a blind woman who reads fortunes by feeling people’s bones.

*

She had felt the bones of all sorts of people: high-ranking officials, the wealthy, and folks from every walk of life. Then one day, she came across a man who was a jinx incarnate.

*

A jinx incarnate: someone who brings misfortune to his father, mother, wife, children, relatives, neighbors, and even every flower and tree he encounters. Anyone who gets near him is doomed.

*

But this jinx was no ordinary one. He had incredible luck with money. You could drop him on a deserted island and he’d dig up a gold mine.

*

Ever since Ye Lu got mixed up with him, misfortune had dogged her. She choked on water, got food stuck in her throat, dislocated her arm just by raising it, and tripped for no reason while walking. Even when she blinked, a few eyelashes would end up in her eyes.

*

This jinx was cold-blooded, sharp-tongued, and crafty. He said:

“If you’re starving, go die somewhere else. If you die at my feet, you’ll stain my shoes.”

“If you take off all your clothes, and I look at you, then I’m a pervert.”

“Touch even a single coin of my money, and you’re asking to die.”

Yet this same jinx also said:

“Even if I can’t get close to you, I’ll keep you under watch and know what you’re doing every moment. I’d be happy just listening in.”

“There’s nothing in this world I can’t buy, except a life. If I could spend everything I own to share a lifetime with you, no matter how wretched, I would.”

“My money, my city, I’d hand it all over to her. I only want her to be safe and sound.”

"Excerpt"

Jealousy flared. He seized her and kissed her.

“Mmm... uh, uh...” Before Ye Lu could even savor the kiss, her mouth wouldn’t close.

“Dislocated jaw.” His voice was calm. He was already used to this kind of accident.

Ye Lu wanted to cry. She knew it would happen. He was a jinx incarnate, and she was always the one who suffered. Even her jaw dislocated during a kiss. Could she get any unluckier?
