Fortune 022: Ghost Marriage 2
"Pair of twos!" "Double twos!" "Pass!" With cards in hand, Nan Shi glanced at Qing Ying to his left, then at the red-robed bride to his right, feeling a bit bewildered. How had things ended up like this? The ghost bride—Bride Number Two—scraped her crimson nails along her card, leaving a puncture in the paper. With those long nails, she was clearly ill-suited for playing cards, and she knew it all too well. She asked, "Mr. Nan, do you happen to have a nail clipper?" "I do." Nan Shi…-

Fortune 021: Ghost Marriage
While Guo Xingxian went to pack his things, Nan Shi took the chance to laze in the sun on the second-floor balcony. He toyed with the copper coins and asked, “Qing Ying, do you have any other tasks?” Qing Ying curtsied and replied, “Master has ordered that your humble servant remain at your side.” “Tch.” Nan Shi grunted absently, pulling out the blank sheet of paper he’d received. “What's my senior brother trying to tell me?” “I do not know. The master said, ‘Young master…-

"Xian'er, is that you? No need to be polite—here, take a couple more buns! We made extra today, don't be shy with Auntie!" The woman, about forty, pressed a steaming tray of fresh buns toward Guo Xingxian. She caught sight of Nan Shi beside him. "And this must be your friend! Such a handsome young man!" Nan Shi gave a shy smile. "Hello, Auntie." As they chatted, even Guo Xingxian's brow took on a faint shadow of black qi. Nan Shi's heart pounded—could it be this aura of impending doom was…

Fortune 019: Signs of Death
As a gay man, Nan Shi was feeling quite hopeless—especially when Guo Xingxian insisted on taking a shower. “I’m gay, you know! Can’t you be a little more careful?” Nan Shi couldn’t stand it any longer, holding the showerhead as he spoke. “Aren’t you worried about your own behind?” Guo Xingxian sank into the hot water, wishing he could submerge his head entirely. “So does that mean I look like a world-class beauty to you? Does watching me bathe make you hard as steel?” He…-

Fortune 018: Beaten
Superstition—this was something Nan Shi was all too familiar with. With Guo Xingxian around, this trip to purchase goods was even quicker than Nan Shi had anticipated. The boss, Mr. Zhang, spent an hour chatting about family matters with Guo Xingxian, then, with a grand wave of his hand, sold Nan Shi twenty pieces of assorted jadeite jewelry at wholesale price—filling up the remaining half of Nan Shi’s suitcase to the brim. “Boss Zhang’s ancestral name is the same as yours. Why is that?…-

Fortune 017: The Journey
Daddy Heavenly Way showed he understood, and, recalling the old adage ‘spare the rod, spoil the child,’ decided to give Nan Shi a knock on the head to help him remember his lesson! Nan Shi’s throat was hoarse, with a hint of tonsillitis—every time he tried to speak, the pain lanced through his throat like a razor. Guo Xingxian, watching him, suggested, “Let’s hit the hospital as soon as we get off the train. See what’s wrong; who knew choking on cola could cause this much…-

Fortune 016: The Outing
After a full night’s work, the entire house was finally wired for the internet. Honestly, Nan Shi had previously thought Steward Zhou was being overly serious—did they really need to hire someone just to set up the network cables? How hard could it be? But as it turned out, it was far more complicated. The thickness and brand of the cables, how to set up WiFi across such a large estate, and installing extra outlets for charging devices—Zhang He simply drafted a comprehensive list and even…-

Fortune 015: The Array Master
The incense in the burner slowly burned itself out. Nan Shi took a long, deep breath, then gently pushed the censer forward. On the wooden table, the incense burner made a faint scraping sound. "Professor Zhou, please." They had just spent some time chatting and exchanging names. This Mr. Zhou carried a natural air of credibility when he spoke. Nan Shi asked a few questions and soon learned that he was, in fact, a university professor. A few more questions revealed the kicker: he was from Nan Shi's…-

Fortune 014: Daily Life
Fine, snow-white sandalwood powder was pressed into a miniature, jade-like mountain in the ancient bronze censer; small pieces of agarwood were ground until fine, then poured with a careful shake into the incense mold, creating an elegant, evocative cloud atop that snowy mountain. As the incense smoke curled upward, a tranquil, subtly sweet fragrance spread throughout the room, prompting Chi You to emit a satisfied sigh from deep in his throat. “Qing He, your craft is improving.” Qing He…-

The house was silent. The smile on Nan Shi’s lips was about to slip away. The ghost bride was so tense she seemed ready to vanish, convinced that the slow downturn of the expert’s mouth was a countdown to the end of her ghostly existence. Qing Lan entered with the tea, setting delicate porcelain cups before both of them—thin as paper and filled halfway with vibrant green tea, their subtle aroma hinted at hidden depths from the faint haze on the cup’s edge. Nan Shi picked up his cup,…
