The manager had a very close relationship with Liang Jing—as close as sisters. Even though Liang Jing was struggling now, she never had the idea of ​​giving up on her.

She gritted her teeth and slammed a hand on the steering wheel. She was extremely angry. “I only felt that Zhu Tingting was too popular. She is average-looking and so ridiculously lazy. In so many years I’ve been in this industry, she’s the only one I’ve seen become so popular this way. Some people try to imitate her. But when they slack off in a variety show, they end up getting scolded for it.”

It’s no wonder that Liang Jing looked a lot better than Zhu Tingting, and her acting skills were several levels higher than Zhu Tingting’s, but she kept running into obstacles. The reason for her setbacks was just as inexplicable as Zhu Tingting’s popularity.

It turned out that Liang Jing’s luck had been stolen.

Liang Jing sighed deeply and comforted her agent, “It’s okay. The master said she could help me remove this sinister spell.”

“That’s good.” The manager seemed to have taken reassurance from her words and was grateful to An Rugu. “Then I’ll leave it to you, master.”

An Rugu hummed. “I will try my best.”

The agent drove An Rugu and Liang Jing to the Sihuan Community.

As soon as Liang Jing returned home, she rummaged through her cabinets and found a box. She took out something wrapped in red paper and handed it to An Rugu.

An Rugu opened the red paper to reveal the talisman inside. Strange symbols were written densely packed on the red paper, and it was impossible to discern what they were.

After the agent learned that this was the source of the stolen luck, she exclaimed in surprise, “How could you accept such a weird thing? Will a safety talisman be wrapped in red paper?”

Liang Jing was about to burst into tears, “How could I know these details?”

An Rugu calculated their eight characters, moving with her hands, and she suddenly had a flash of realization. “Stealing Luck is something that goes against the will of heaven. The right time, place, and people are indispensable. You and this person share the same month, the same day, and the same hour of birth. The four pillars and eight characters are the exactly the same—no wonder she could steal your luck.”

Liang Jing was shocked. “Yes, she and I share the same birthday. After we found out about this, we felt that we were destined to be friends with each other, and then we gradually became more familiar with each other…”

An Rugu started to make paper figures in front of Liang Jing in preparation for the next ceremony.

At this time, Liang Jing’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhu Tingting calling.

She felt a little panicked and couldn’t help but glance at her agent. The agent angrily said to her, “Hurry and pick it up. If you don’t pick it up, I’ll pick it up for you. And I’m going to scold her to death!”

Liang Jing had no choice but to answer the call, and Zhu Tingting’s smiling voice came from the phone: “Jingjing, you told me last time that you were going to buy a good luck talisman over the weekend. Were you able to buy it?”

Liang Jing: “!!!”

She almost forgot that she told Zhu Tingting that her plan for this weekend was to go to Cloud Rise Temple to visit An Rugu and buy a good luck talisman.

At that time, Zhu Tingting offered to introduce her to an audition and told her not to go so far away. Liang Jing didn’t want to miss the opportunity, but she also didn’t want to stand An Rugu up, so she went anyway.

Zhu Tingting was now so anxious that she even called to ask…

Did she know that she had been found out?

Liang Jing’s heart trembled, and she felt that it was not a good thing for Zhu Tingting to know that she already knew. After all, currently, the spell has not been broken yet.

She showed off her best acting skills and pitched her voice as if she was complaining, “When I got there, the master wasn’t there, and I was really bored waiting, so I came back.”

“Oh, then… ah, no, I mean, you are so miserable, let’s go out for dinner later. Last time, I said I would introduce you to an audition. In fact, I know a director and he is very interested in you. “

“Who?”

“Wang Shuo, Director Wang.”

When the agent heard her words, her face immediately darkened.

Liang Jing gritted her teeth and said, “Wang Shuo… I heard that his private life is very messy. I don’t want to go. Aren’t you harming me by doing this?”

Zhu Tingting sighed, and a subtle sense of superiority creeped into her tone, “I can’t help it, right now your reputation is too low, and others will only look down on you. Don’t worry, Wang Shuo will never dare to do anything to you. There won’t be any problems if the three of us eat together.”

She actually didn’t want to push her onto Wang Shuo’s bed, which would also bring a bad reputation to herself. She just wanted Liang Jing to experience the feeling of Director Wang Shuo favoring her—ZhuhTingting, but Liang Jing had to show favor to the director.

This feeling of old classmates meeting up while their fortunes have switched… it was so refreshing! Only by doing so, can the nightmares caused by being suffocated by Liang Jing when they were in college disappear.

What’s more, her use of the borrowing-luck spell caused her and Liang Jing to be incompatible. If she wanted to become more popular, she needed to draw more luck to herself and make Liang Jing’s fate even worse.

It would be a good idea to make Liang Jing gradually disillusioned with the entertainment industry.

If it were before, Liang Jing might have considered it, but now she didn’t want to go at all and refused bluntly, “I want to sleep at home today. I really don’t want to go. You can go by yourself.”

However, Zhu Tingting had already gotten out of the car and had been walking with a smile on her face to where Liang Jing lived. She said at the door, “Jingjing, don’t say ‘no’. I’m at your door. The driver is downstairs. Let’s go.”

Liang Jing: “???”

Agent: “???”

Liang Jing turned around and saw An Rugu was still sitting on the sofa, quietly making paper figurines.

She was extremely panicked. The spell of borrowing-luck had not been broken yet. Zhu Tingting had so many tricks. What if she harmed the master?

No, we must find a way to hold Zhu Tingting back.

Liang Jing then pretended to be irritated, “I really don’t want to go. You can go back. Can you consider my feelings?”

Zhu Tingting had rarely seen Liang Jing so angry and found it a bit strange. But she still wanted to ask Liang Jing out. “No, no, no, come with me. If you can get this role, you will definitely become famous. Then we sisters will walk on the red carpet together. That would be really cool.”

“I’m not going!”

T/N: We’ve been talking and talking about the ‘eight characters’ and I never showed you guys what it was. The eight characters or bazi would be attributes that correspond to a person’s birth year, month, day, and hour. An Rugu can ‘read’ a person’s eight characters just by looking at their faces—but she’s special that way. The more normal way is to have it written down and interpret the attributes as it relates to something—career, love, health etc.
