Default Re: Good Pretender for T\'ien C\'hi?

Preventing bad events is good for Fortune, OR Misfortune, or Turmoil - in particular, while taking Fortune makes substantially more of your events good, you also get more bad events just because you get more bad events total.

In the case of T'ien Ch'i, this is completely overbalanced by the nation-specific events which, as far as I can tell, require Fortune and possibly Order as well to get - but a systematic study of events would help a lot.
