Before he was reborn, Lin Yan was the feared “Master Yan” of the underworld, until he was ambushed at the docks and drowned in the river. After being reborn, he became Lu Niannian, the three-year-old darling of Lu Zhenting, a crime boss who doted on his daughter and held her in the palm of his hand.
All the ruthlessness and cunning of his previous life were hidden inside this exquisitely pretty little body. In a crime family ruled by guns and strict codes, Lu Niannian played the part of an innocent, sweet little princess while quietly making plans with the experience of her former life. She could sense danger from her crib, use childish words to alert Lu Zhenting to threats around him, and, when her father was ambushed and went missing, steady everyone and devise a plan against their enemies, all at just three years old.
Lu Zhenting was both fond of and puzzled by his precocious daughter, never suspecting the old soul inside her tiny body. When Zhao Tianxiong, a powerful figure from a neighboring province, coveted their territory and Lu Zhenting was in danger, Lu Niannian was no longer merely a little princess to be protected. She used her childlike appearance as cover and drew on the strength of her father’s old associates to navigate the crisis. Even her everyday life at kindergarten and elementary school concealed quiet calculations.
This is the story of a powerful underworld figure who grows step by step within a crime family in the body of a small child, protected by her loved ones while quietly protecting her family and their territory in turn. Amid warmth and bloody conflict, Lu Niannian gradually steps out from behind the scenes and becomes the Lu family’s true “little princess,” someone able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her father and protect their world.
