Nine out of ten fortune-tellers are disabled. Ye Lu was the last one in the group, and she wasn't disabled. But to earn enough to eat, she had to pretend to be, making a living as a "blind" bone-reading fortune-teller.
*
She had read the bones of all sorts of people: officials and nobles, and folks from every walk of life. Then one day, she read the bones of a man with a deadly fate.
*
A man with a deadly fate brings ruin to his father and mother, his wife and children, and even his relatives, punk neighbors, flowers, and trees. Anything that comes into contact with him is cursed with bad luck.
*
But this man was no ordinary jinx. His fortune was so good that you could drop him on a deserted island and he'd still dig up a gold mine.
*
Ever since Ye Lu got mixed up with him, her luck had turned rotten. She choked on water, got food stuck in her throat, dislocated her shoulder just by raising her hand, and tripped for no reason while walking. She could even get a few eyelashes in her eye just by blinking.
*
This man with a deadly fate was cold-blooded, sharp-tongued, and crafty. He said:
"If you're starving, go somewhere else. If you die at my feet, you'll dirty my soles.
If you take off all your clothes and I so much as look at you, then I'm a pervert.
Touch even a single coin of mine, and you're asking to die."
Then this same man with a deadly fate said:
"Even if I can't be by your side, I'll keep you confined and know what you're doing every moment. Even if I have to listen in, I'll be happy.
There's nothing in this world I can't buy, except a life. If I could trade everything I have for one more miserable lifetime by your side, I'd gladly do it.
My money and my city, I can hand them all over to you. All I want is for her to be safe and sound."
"Excerpt"
Overcome with jealousy, he grabbed her and kissed her.
"Mmm... ngh..." Before Ye Lu could even savor the kiss, she couldn't close her mouth.
"It's dislocated." His voice was calm. He was already used to accidents like this.
Ye Lu wanted to cry. She knew it would go like this. He was a man with a deadly fate, and she was always the one who suffered the bad luck. Even her jaw dislocated when they kissed. Could she possibly get any unluckier?
