Actually, this kind of feeling is quite understandable, just like a person feeling pretty good about wearing plain clothes and having simple meals three times a day, when seeing a group of beggars in rags and starving.
However, it suddenly turns out one day that everyone around has become rich, extravagantly rich, dressed in finery and eating delicacies, making one feel ridiculously miserable.
This is the principle of 'comparison kills', and in his past life, Li Yao had experienced it countless times.
Proving over and over that one has extremely bad luck is indeed a very painful thing, and it was only after many years that Li Yao got used to the huge gap between expectation and reality.
This life, while his luck is still not great, it's at least not as unlucky as the last one; he's basically on a level of normal luck.
