I Picked Up a Lucky Six-Year-Old, and We Ate Our Fill During the Famine

In the 1960s, famine ravages the land. Modern-day girl Fu Tingting accidentally touches her ancestral jade pendant and transmigrates into the body of a six-year-old orphan, bringing along a spiritual spring space. She wakes up trapped in a ruined temple, with human traffickers cursing nearby that "little girls aren't worth much." On the brink of death, she activates her space. The spring water instantly eases her hunger, and she gains beginner supplies like vacuum-packed rice, giving her a slender chance to survive.

After kindhearted Auntie Wang takes her in, Tingting assumes the name "Niannian." She uses the space's spiritual spring to heal Auntie Wang's comatose young grandson and save Auntie Wang, who is coughing up blood. Meanwhile, she secretly improves the family's circumstances by using the space's marketplace to exchange for seeds, ration coupons, and tools. She grows wild vegetables to relieve the whole village's hunger, then cultivates high-yield sweet potatoes and golden rice, astonishing the county and countryside. She even joins forces with another transmigrator, Fu An'an, and her "Candy Space." Together, they go from solving food shortages to founding a sugar refinery and a cannery, and even help take the "Seed Bank" nationwide and across Africa.

From an abandoned baby in a ruined temple to the "Savior of the Famine" who leads her neighbors out of poverty, from a village test plot to the international agricultural stage, Niannian relies on her space's golden finger and her own ingenuity. In an era of scarce food and clothing, she not only makes sure she and the Wang family have enough to eat and wear, but also plants hope for a brighter future in barren soil with seeds and sweetness. She becomes the most dazzling "Lucky Child" of the famine years.
