Yang Yang had once said excitedly in their dormitory room, “Zhu Tingting is so interesting. Other guests in the variety show play games until they collapse. She uses the electric fan, eats fried chicken, and is willing to be the last one.

Other actors work so hard to look sexy on the red carpet. Do you know what she did? She went up wearing a T-shirt and shorts with a sleepy face.

The reporter asked her why she was dressed like this. Her eyes widened, and she said that she got up late and didn’t want to be late, so she had to dress like this.

While others were acting in workplace dramas, she was acting in comedy dramas.

Why is she so confused and yet so cute?”

Under normal circumstances, a salted fish character was actually quite unpleasant.

For example, slacking off on variety shows could easily be perceived by viewers as lacking in team spirit and professionalism. Fans of other celebrities also sniped at Zhu Tingting, thinking that she deliberately acted this way in order to stand out. Other celebrities in the industry also believed that Zhu Tingting was a white lotus.

But for some reason, her behavior made people unable to hate her, and instead they only found her cute and sincere.

Fans of Zhu Tingting jokingly called her ‘Little Piggy’. Why? 

‘Because Little Piggy is even more lazy than a salted fish. It only knows how to eat.’

‘Fake, obviously the Little Piggy can not only eat, but also sleep!“

Zhu Tingting became popular because of her unique style in variety shows, and then she was spotted by a big director. Although her acting skills were not very good—she got the role. Great directors would take time to train and teach actors. Zhu Tingting’s acting skills looked passable through the camera, and she became an instant hit.

Later, she took on many hit dramas, and now she was a hot star in the entertainment industry and would soon be promoted to the top-level.

Her fate was so good, she must have been a good person in her previous life and had accumulated a lot of virtues.

An Rugu looked at the photo, frowning slightly, pinching her fingers and using Qi Observation Technique.

Immediately afterwards, a complex look flashed across her eyes. This person was clearly not a blessed person, and she has not done many good deeds nor accumulated much virtue, and yet she climbed onto the unmatched Heavenly Temple…

Strange, really strange!

An Rugu was thinking about the theft of Liang Jing’s luck, and it’s very likely that it had something to do with this Zhu Tingting.

Liang Jing saw that after she took out the photo, the master’s expression grew very complicated. She felt her heart pound and said worriedly, “…I have a very close relationship with her. She also introduced me to opportunities, but none of the directors liked me. It shouldn’t be her who is causing trouble, right?”

She didn’t want to think in this direction, but except for Zhu Tingting, there was no one around her with such weird luck.

She also felt that Zhu Tingting was so popular for no reason.

Under Liang Jing’s surprised gaze, An Rugu nodded. “I don’t rule out this possibility. How was her luck in the past?”

Liang Jing was stunned for a moment and then answered truthfully, “She’s lazy, has poor academic performance, and has bad luck. Once we went out, and we both participated in a lottery at the mall. I won the third prize, but she didn’t win anything.

“Sometimes her alarm clock would fail and she would be late for class, her car broke down and she was late for an audition… Even drinking cold water clogged her teeth¹.”

After listening to her words, An Rugu made a guess in her heart and seemed to realize something, “Have you ever made a promise about luck?”

Liang Jing was full of wit, “Does it count if it was said as a joke?”

“When it comes to metaphysics, even a promise to a ghost in a dream is considered a promise, let alone a joke. What did you tell her?”

Liang Jing bit her lip, feeling a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and stammered, “She was so unlucky, and I felt sorry for her. After the idol drama was released, the gap between me and her suddenly widened. I was worried that she would feel unbalanced because of this, so I often asked her out to play, saying that I would introduce her to people and in the future she would also become popular.

“But she was always unhappy. One day she said to me as a joke, ‘You are so lucky while I am so miserable. If I were as lucky as you, at least I could make some money to buy a bag. Are you willing to share your luck with me?’

“Of course, luck cannot be shared—but I had hoped she could feel better, so I said I was willing.

“She was very surprised and asked me, if it was true? Am I really willing to share my luck with her?

“I said with a smile, ‘Can’t I tell the truth? I’m definitely willing to share it with you’.

“She asked me a few more times, and I nodded again and again. She was finally happy, and then she gave me a safety talisman, saying that she had specially asked for it from the temple.”

The more Liang Jing thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was shaking all over. “Is it because of this promise that she was able to take away my luck? Is this why I’m so unlucky now?”

An Rugu sighed softly, “That’s right.”

Liang Jing felt grief-stricken, and she was enveloped in deep regret.

She was really willing to share some luck with her friend so that she could have a better life. But she fell directly to the bottom without any chance to stand out. And her friend rose to the top in a single step. This price was too heavy to pay!

At least give her some way to survive.
