"Having Peng San Gongzi is a great fortune for lottery players. Peng San Gongzi writes concisely and vividly, yet with a touch of humor, comparable to Jia Zhanggu's works in 'Fayu City.' His future achievements will surely surpass those of others. To be able to read his works now is truly a blessing!"

"Peng San Gongzi: My admiration for you is as endless as the flowing waters of a river. I hope you will create even more wonderful works. Can you write a little faster? I’m now addicted—without your works every day at midnight, I can’t function!"

"Peng San Gongzi writes brilliantly! Some parts are funnier than the crosstalk during China’s Spring Festival Gala. I suggest turning it into a TV series—it will be a hit! This novel, based on Chinese lottery betting, is filled with Chinese humor and unique phenomena of the lottery. It tells the spicy journey of the protagonist, a lottery prediction expert, in a satirical yet lighthearted style. The language is playful and humorous, offering both laughter and wisdom. This book can be classified as the first humorous lottery betting novel in China.
The novel follows the emerging phenomenon of lottery betting in China over the past two years, focusing on the lives of lottery prediction experts like Huang Donglin, Liu Yuanhong, and Tang Xuebo in Beifeng City. It humorously yet sharply depicts the realities of officialdom and daily life, making readers laugh out loud while also gaining insights. The book highlights the idea that in lottery betting, "wrong can lead to right," which is also a pattern in life, full of dialectical wisdom: what was once seen as a mistake may later be right, while what seems right now might be wrong in the future. Right and wrong intertwine, and one should embrace a tolerant attitude toward life.
In this era, it’s better to be criticized than forgotten. This phrase suits Huang Donglin, a lottery prediction expert, perfectly. Due to poor prediction results, he faced relentless criticism and mockery from lottery players, even being jokingly called "China’s Pele." However, fortune favors the brave—Huang Donglin soon struck it rich, thanks to his wife, and was honored with the title "China’s Top Predictor!"
Yet, good fortune doesn’t last. His subsequent predictions, no matter how hard he tried, didn’t improve. Luck and misfortune orbited him like satellites, leading to countless unforgettable jokes with other lottery experts, which only earned more ridicule and abuse from players. Faced with thousands of hateful comments online, Huang Donglin suddenly had an idea—and did something unexpected that even readers couldn’t have imagined."
