Explanation

The correct idiom is 'Fate smiles on those who untiringly grapple with stark realities of life.' The preposition 'on' conveys that fate favors or looks kindly upon these people. 'With' suggests accompaniment rather than favor, while 'over' and 'round' don't fit this standard expression.
