Feng Xing, a phoenix deity, adores little ones. But phoenix chicks are rare, and when the Heavenly Emperor happens to establish a nursery for young children, she decides to join as a teacher.
Life gets lively from then on!
But young ones approaching adulthood must enter small worlds to temper themselves. Watching the children in the nursery dwindle, Feng Xing gets bored and takes a look in the Reincarnation Mirror. She discovers that the children who went down to the mortal realm to train are all suffering horribly, one worse off than the next!
What can she do? They’re her kids, after all!
The doomed exile child becomes emperor!
Two-year-old: “I’m going to be emperor!”
Feng Xing gazes at him fondly. “You will! If my kid doesn’t become emperor, who will?”
Marquis Anping disappears before a battle, leading to devastating losses for the Great Li. His entire family is exiled to Yongzhou. Two-year-old Ning is frail and often ill, and dies of heatstroke less than half a month into the journey.
Feng Xing descends from the heavens, shining like a savior!
The comparison-group child becomes a sensation!

Swept along toward ruin, he nevertheless sinks into it with his eyes wide open.
The moment Feng Xing meets him, she hugs him. “Kiddo, I’m here to take you home!”
The five-element spiritual roots kid becomes the greatest cultivator under heaven!
Nine-year-old, rolling around on the ground: “I want candied hawthorn!”
Feng Xing clenches her fist. “Don’t think you’re still three years old!”
