Lady of fortune (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

luck

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fortune' is the definition.
(I know that fortune can be written as luck)

'lady' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'lady' could be 'lu' and 'lu' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for luck that I've seen before include "Good or bad fortune" , "See 1" , "'Fortune, fate (4)'" , "''The devil''s children has the devil's ....'" , "Chance, fate, fortune" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
