Last month, a self-proclaimed guru told her the year was cursed and she'd have to shell out ¥8,888 for a luck-changing talisman. Isabella Carter listened, then decisively chose to stay cursed.

Bestselling web-novelist Isabella Carter was hit with plagiarism accusations, her private life labeled a mess, and paparazzi photos of her drunk night-out with a "little wolf pup" went viral. Overnight, the darling of online fiction became the rat everyone wanted to stone.
Isabella Carter lay with her head on someone's thigh, scrolling through the gossip.
"Attorney Adams, they're calling you the little wolf pup?"
"Mm. The cease-and-desist is already in the mail."
She figured you don't need ¥8,888 to change your luck—just a bottle of Erguotou and a big wolf you can drag home.
