Background: The bumpy road of love

In the winter of 2024, 29-year-old Xiaomei sat by a window, watching the falling snowflakes. Clutching a crumpled movie ticket stub—from the movie she’d seen with her blind date the previous week, it served as the “proof” of the relationship’s end. After the movie, he sent her a message: “Sorry, I don’t think we’re compatible. I hope you find someone better.”

This was Xiaomei’s seventh failed blind date. Since she turned 25, introduced by family and friends, she has met a number of men: a civil servant with a stable job. After three months together, he said, “You’re too independent. I want someone more gentle.” A humorous designer suddenly lost contact after five dates, only to learn from friends that he’d reunited with his ex. And a corporate executive with comparable qualifications, with whom she’d struck up a good conversation, broke up before discussing marriage, citing “family objections to long-distance living.”

Not only blind dates, but also Xiaomei’s own encounters with men failed to make it to the end. Xiaomei’s first love in college ended due to graduation and separation. She met her crush after work, but after six months together, she discovered he was already married. Repeated disappointments gradually made Xiaomei lose faith in love. She often looked in the mirror and wondered, “I’m not ugly, my job is stable, and my personality isn’t bad. Why can’t I find the right person?”

Xiaomei works as a product manager at an internet company. She’s highly capable and well-respected by her boss. Her colleagues envy her “smooth career,” but no one knows how deeply she longs for a stable relationship. Every weekend, while watching her friends go on dates and travel in pairs, she’s left alone at home, either working overtime or curled up on the sofa watching romantic movies and secretly weeping.

Every time her mother called, she’d urge her, “Xiaomei, you’re almost 30. Stop focusing on work and find someone and get married quickly. Otherwise, it’ll be harder to get married as you get older.” Every time she heard these words, Xiaomei felt aggrieved and anxious. She wanted someone she could rely on, but fate simply wasn’t on her side. While shopping with her best friend Lily, Xiaomei couldn’t help but confide her troubles. Lily listened, then pulled her aside and said, “My cousin was just like you. She went on over a dozen blind dates but none of them worked out. Then she asked Feng Shui Master MoneyGaga of LAOTLON to adjust her bedroom layout and put in a crystal ball. Within six months, she met her current brother-in-law and is almost married! Why don’t you give it a try?”

Xiaomei was stunned. She had always thought Feng Shui was “something for the elderly” and had nothing to do with her. But seeing her best friend’s serious expression and thinking about her own rocky relationship journey, she hesitated. “Does it really work? Is this just a coincidence?” Lily replied, “Whether it’s a coincidence or not, it’s always a good idea to give it a try. What if I actually meet the right person?”

Encouraged by Lily, Xiaomei booked a home visit with Feng Shui Master MoneyGaga through LAOTLON’s official WeChat account. Customer service responded quickly and arranged a visit in three days. On-site Inspection: Money Gaga’s Detailed Interpretation

On the day of the inspection, Xiaomei left work early and thoroughly cleaned her house. At 3:00 PM, Money Gaga arrived promptly. She wore a light pink sweater and beige wide-leg pants, looking both gentle and professional. Upon entering, she didn’t rush to see the bedroom. Instead, she took a tour of the living room before asking, “Xiaomei, can you show me your bedroom? Your love life is most strongly influenced by the feng shui of your bedroom.”

Xiaomei nodded and led Money Gaga into the bedroom. The bedroom was small, furnished with a 6-foot-tall bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. Several landscape paintings hung on the walls, creating a simple and fresh ambiance. Money Gaga took out a compass and carefully measured the room, occasionally bending down to check the bed’s orientation or opening the wardrobe door to inspect the furnishings. About ten minutes later, Money Gaga stopped and said to Xiaomei, “Xiaomei, there are two key issues with your bedroom layout that can affect your relationship luck.”

Pointing to the position of the bed, she said, “Look, your bed faces the bathroom door. The bathroom is the place with the heaviest ‘dirty energy’ in the house. This foul energy drifts into the bedroom through the cracks in the door, affecting your aura and, in turn, your relationship luck. Furthermore, one side of the bed is next to the window, making it susceptible to outside drafts while you sleep. This not only affects your sleep quality but also destabilizes your ‘relationship energy,’ making it difficult to find love.”

Money Gaga then walked over to the desk. “Your desk is cluttered with work documents and a computer; it doesn’t create a romantic atmosphere at all. Furthermore, the desk is in the northwest corner of the bedroom. According to your birth date and bedroom orientation, your peach blossom position should be in the southeast. But the wardrobe is blocking this peach blossom energy, preventing it from entering. Naturally, it’s difficult to meet the right person.”

Xiaomei suddenly realized— She’d long felt a little uncomfortable with her bed facing the bathroom door, but she hadn’t thought much of it. Her desk was piled high with work papers because she often worked overtime at home. The term “peach blossom position” was completely new to her. She had never before associated these details with “love.”
“So how should I adjust?” Xiaomei asked eagerly, her eyes brimming with anticipation. MoneyGaga pondered for a moment and offered specific advice: “First, reposition your bed, away from the bathroom door, with the headboard against a solid wall. This will block out bad energy and stabilize your aura. Second, place a pink crystal ball about 12 cm in diameter in the southeast corner of your bedroom, next to the closet. Pink crystal is a ‘love stone,’ which can enhance your personal charm and attractiveness, helping you attract true love. Also, organize the work papers on your desk and put them in a drawer. Place a pot of daisies on your desk to add a touch of romance.”

She added: “Choose a natural pink crystal ball, not an artificial one. Natural crystals have stronger energy. Place the crystal ball on a white tray with a few small pebbles to enhance its energy. You can visit a LAOTLON store; the staff will help you choose a high-quality crystal ball and teach you how to purify and maintain it.”

Xiaomei carefully wrote down the details in her notebook, noting even the details like “white tray” and “pebbles,” and her anxiety eased considerably.
Ornaments Landed: Fate Arrived Quietly

That evening, Xiaomei began adjusting her bedroom layout. She enlisted the help of two friends and moved the bed from its original location to a spot near the closet, ensuring the headboard was against a solid wall and away from the bathroom door. She then sorted the work papers on her desk and put them in drawers. She also went to the flower shop and bought a pot of daisies, which she placed in a corner of her desk.

The next morning, Xiaomei took a special leave of absence and visited the LAOTLON store. The store was overflowing with crystal ornaments. Upon hearing that she had been recommended by MoneyGaga, the salesperson immediately recommended several natural pink crystal balls. Xiaomei chose a 12-centimeter-diameter ball. It was crystal clear, free of impurities, and had a soft, even pink color, which looked particularly beautiful. The clerk matched her with a white ceramic tray and a few light gray pebbles. She told her, “Xiaomei, rinse this crystal ball with clean water once a week and place it in the sun for half an hour. This will purify the crystal’s energy and maintain its appeal.”

After returning home, Xiaomei followed MoneyGaga’s advice, placing the pink crystal ball on the white tray, surrounding it with pebbles, and then placing the tray in the southeast corner of her bedroom. After arranging it, she sat on the edge of her bed and gazed at it again and again. She felt strangely reassured.

For the first week after the adjustment, Xiaomei didn’t notice any noticeable changes. She felt a little disappointed, thinking she might have been overthinking it. But in the second week, things started to change. On Friday night, her best friend Lily invited her to a birthday party, saying, “There are a few friends of your age, and it’s nice to get to know each other.” Xiaomei initially didn’t want to go, but Lily’s insistence convinced her to agree.

At the party, Xiaomei met a man named Chen Yang, a designer at an architectural design institute. He had a gentle personality and a good sense of humor. The two chatted about their favorite movies and travels, discovering they had many common topics. After the party, Chen Yang asked for Xiaomei’s WeChat account, saying, “We can go to the movies together sometime.”

Xiaomei was a little nervous, not holding out too much hope. But to her surprise, the next morning, Chen Yang messaged her, sharing a favorite song. Over the next few days, he chatted with Xiaomei daily, sharing interesting work stories and occasionally inviting her out for coffee or bookshops.

As they spent time together, Xiaomei discovered that Chen Yang was not only gentle and considerate, but also deeply understanding. Knowing she liked spicy food, he’d choose a Sichuan restaurant; knowing she was afraid of the dark, he’d wait until she was in the hallway before dropping her off at night; and knowing she was stressed at work, he’d recommend relaxing music for her. Xiaomei gradually let down her guard and began to enjoy their time together. Follow-up Feedback: The Sweetness of Love Continues

Three months later, Chen Yang confessed his love to Xiaomei during a date: “Xiaomei, these three months with you have been the happiest of my lives. I love your independence, kindness, and earnestness, and I want to be with you forever. Will you be my girlfriend?” Xiaomei nodded vigorously, her eyes red.

After confirming their relationship, their relationship grew increasingly stable. Chen Yang would accompany Xiaomei during overtime hours and help her organize work documents. Xiaomei would make lunch boxes for Chen Yang to take to the office. On weekends, they would go hiking, watch movies, and visit the market together, living a simple yet sweet life.

One time, Chen Yang visited Xiaomei’s house and saw the pink crystal ball in the bedroom. Curiously, he asked, “That crystal ball is so beautiful! Is it for decoration?” Xiaomei smiled and told him the story of LAOTLON and MoneyGaga. Chen Yang exclaimed in amazement, “I didn’t expect such a connection! It seems this crystal ball is truly our matchmaker.”

Now, Xiaomei no longer had to envy others’ love, because she had finally met the right person. Every weekend, she would follow the store clerk’s advice, clean and sunbathe the pink crystal ball. Every time she saw it glowing softly pink in the sunlight, she would remember MoneyGaga’s help and feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
She also recommended LAOTLON and MoneyGaga to a single colleague at work, who adjusted her bedroom layout according to the advice, adding the pink crystal ball. Two months later, she met the right person.
Xiaomei often said, “I didn’t believe in feng shui before, but now I know that good feng shui can create a better environment for finding love. Of course, the crystal ball is just a ‘helper,’ but true fate requires courage and self-realization. Without the help of LAOTLON and MoneyGaga, I might still be lost and miss out on my own happiness.”
Today, the pink crystal ball in the bedroom still sits quietly in the southeast corner, like a gentle guardian, witnessing the sweet love between Xiaomei and Chen Yang and protecting Xiaomei’s bright hopes for the future.
