Boss Fu, your wife has gone to set up a fortune-telling stall again… again… and again.

Lin Xi is a Taoist disciple with a Pure Yin constitution, born in a year, month, day, and hour all dominated by Yin energy. This rare and dangerous birth chart grants her natural Yin-Yang eyes, allowing her to see spirits, but it also condemns her to a short life. Her master, Daoist Master Xuan Kong, predicted she would not survive past the age of twenty. With only one day remaining before her twentieth birthday, Lin Xi is starving, exhausted, and on the verge of death. Her luck is so abysmal that ordinary objects seem to conspire against her; electronics explode, and natural disasters strike without warning. Before his death, her unreliable master arranged a marriage for her with a man of noble fate, claiming he is her only chance for survival. He instructed her to travel to Di Jing to find him immediately.

Lin Xi begins her journey from her mountain temple, but her misfortunes are relentless. A landslide blocks her path, lightning destroys her phone, and she loses all her money at the train station. After accidentally falling asleep, she wakes up in Qingshan City, where she is too weak to continue on foot. Desperate for food, she attempts to trade a protective talisman for steamed buns from a street vendor, Li Daniu. When Li refuses, Lin Xi insists she keep the talisman, warning of an impending bloody disaster. Lin Xi then proceeds to a crossroads with dense Yin energy to summon a ghost vehicle. She encounters a ghost driver named Zhao Long, who recently died in a bridge collapse. Despite his terrifying appearance, Lin Xi remains unfazed and forces him to drive her to Di Jing. In return for the ride, she helps Zhao Long send a message to his grieving family through a dream before sending his soul to the underworld.

Upon arriving in Di Jing, Lin Xi’s condition deteriorates rapidly. She has only minutes left to live when she senses a powerful aura of imperial purple qi. She identifies Fu Jingyao, a wealthy and influential man, as the person her master arranged for her to marry. His noble destiny is the only thing capable of suppressing her extreme Yin constitution and saving her life. In a moment of desperation, Lin Xi bites Fu Jingyao’s neck to absorb his energy. The act works; her life force stabilizes, and she escapes before he can react. Fu Jingyao, confused and angry, collapses from the strange energy exchange and is hospitalized. He suffers from recurring dreams of a mysterious woman in white, which are linked to the encounter.

While recovering, Lin Xi uses her metaphysical skills to locate a wealthy client, Ji Heng, whose soul has been trapped outside his body for three days. She captures a mischievous earth spirit named Xiao Tu during the process and brings Ji Heng’s soul back to his body. In gratitude, Ji Heng’s family pays Lin Xi fifty thousand yuan in cash. This windfall allows her to rent an apartment, buy a phone, and establish a fortune-telling stall on Antique Street. Her predictions prove accurate, drawing large crowds and establishing her reputation. However, her purple qi begins to fade, threatening her survival again. Meanwhile, Fu Jingyao learns from his grandfather that his marriage to Lin Xi was arranged fifteen years ago as payment for saving his grandmother. Fu Jianhua reveals that the old Taoist orchestrated the deal, binding Fu Jingyao to Lin Xi. Fu Jingyao agrees to find her, unaware that she is the woman who bit him. The story concludes with Lin Xi facing the return of her fatal condition as her luck dwindles, while Fu Jingyao begins his search for his mysterious fiancée in Di Jing.
