Great Tang: I Picked Up a Baby, and the Whole Court Wants to Be His Dad

[Tang Dynasty + everyone's darling + adorable child + national fortune + historical strategy + satisfying revenge + no saintly heroine]

When modern military strategist Jiang Niannian opened her eyes, she had been reborn as a three-and-a-half-year-old orphan in the early years of the Zhenguan era.

From the start, she collapsed from hunger in a desolate forest on a hunting ground and nearly became a wolf's dinner.

While other children cried for their mothers, she calmly studied the terrain and searched for water. While they were afraid of the dark and bugs, she made traps with her bare hands and caught rabbits.

The delicious smell of a roast rabbit drew in Li Shimin, who was hunting incognito.

From then on, this tiny, baby-voiced girl became the apple of the entire Tang court's eye.

The Turks invade? Niannian sketches the enemy's route in the sand with a twig, leaving Li Jing speechless.

A locust plague is coming? Niannian says in her sweet little voice, “Chickies and duckies eat the bugs,” saving the people of three prefectures.

An epidemic is spreading? Niannian counts on her little fingers and recites a prescription, leaving the entire Imperial Medical Bureau on their knees.

Every day, Li Shimin carries the little girl into court. “My esteemed ministers, Niannian said something extraordinary again today.”

Cheng Yaojin slaps his thigh. “Your Majesty! This girl should take me as her godfather!”

Yuchi Gong scowls. “Get lost! She should take me!”

Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all leap to their feet.

The entire court nearly comes to blows over one little girl.

Meanwhile, the old Director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau watches the star beside the Purple Forbidden Enclosure growing ever brighter, his hands trembling.

“Your Majesty... With this girl, the Tang dynasty's fortune will flourish for three hundred years!”
