Because she would never be picked as the bride anyway. Officer Tai Liwu's bad luck was not just broken heels, exploding cars or birds pooping on her head.

Pretty soon, he is more interested in kissing her than fearing her bad luck and suspicious intentions. And Liwu, her "bad luck" takes a twist when on her wedding night, she awakens a bad luck system, throwing their lives into chaos.

Sun Jun’s life was marked by hardship from the very beginning. Orphaned at the tender age of ten, he wandered through the world burdened by loneliness and endless struggles. Years of perseverance eventually granted him a modest victory: a small house of his own, a quiet space where he could finally breathe and find solace. Yet fate was cruel—his life ended abruptly, leaving behind only the silence of his solitude. But death was not the end. Sun Jun awakened in a world consumed by chaos: an apocalyptic wasteland crawling with zombies and monstrous abominations. Humanity teetered on the brink of extinction, survival a desperate gamble. In this nightmare, Sun Jun discovered a miraculous gift—a system that granted him unlimited supplies, infinite storage space, and a devastating thunder ability. Armed with lightning that could tear through hordes of the undead, and resources that ensured he would never starve or lack shelter, Sun Jun was no longer the helpless boy who once struggled to survive. Instead, he became a force of nature, carving his path through the apocalypse. His journey was no longer about enduring hardship—it was about conquering a broken world, reshaping destiny, and proving that even an orphan abandoned by fate could rise as a legend.
