In Wuyou Village, a peaceful place in the Kingdom of Nanyue, lives a little girl of just three named Xu Zhen, whose nickname is Youyou.
She is a scholar's daughter, but fate has dealt her a difficult hand. Her mother died when she was three months old, and the family fell into decline, leaving her to depend on her weather-beaten father, Xu Yousheng. Sheltered by the villagers' kindness and raised amid her father's clear, resonant lessons, Youyou grows up as resilient as a field weed.
Gifted beyond her years, she learns to read and write and masters arithmetic at just three, becoming the whole village's trusted “little bookkeeper.” Her innocent words of comfort are a ray of light in her father's gloomy life, earning her the nickname “Little Lucky Charm” from him. Her clever help is like a spring rain, warming the entire village, whose people regard her as their “Little Star of Good Fortune.”

When hardship strikes again, how will this child, raised on love, use her natural wisdom and kind heart to brighten life for herself and her father, and even lead all of Wuyou Village down an unprecedented road to prosperity?
