Abandoned in the Snow, She’s Spoiled Rotten by a Rugged Soldier King

In the snowy 1990s, sweet little Ya was tossed into Wild Dog Ridge by her cruel grandmother for being a “useless girl.” But by sheer chance, she awakened the fortune of a lucky koi and won the protection of all beasts!

She thought she was doomed, but the wild dogs sheltered her from the wind, and a spirit goat arrived in the middle of the night to feed her milk. Even luckier, she was taken in by Yang Deshui, a poor, lame old bachelor from the village. The villagers laughed that a cripple couldn’t raise a baby girl, but who could have guessed the old farmer was an ace scout who’d retired after being wounded? With her soldier-king dad fiercely protecting her, sweet little Ya was set on a path to success.

“That girl’s a jinx. Anyone who gets near her has bad luck!” When her awful relatives came to steal their supplies, the big yellow dog bit right through someone’s pants, and their own piglet fell into the latrine. Meanwhile, poor bachelor Yang Deshui casually dug up a silver dollar from a corner of the wall, then made connections with the richest man in town on a trip to the city.

As sweet little Ya became the most treasured lucky charm in the whole village, her awful relatives were so overcome with regret they begged to be acknowledged as family. Her soldier-king dad sneered and drew his knife. “Once she was abandoned, she became mine. Anyone who lays a hand on her will have their legs broken!”
