The Duke’s Mansion Is Hated by Everyone, but a Cute Mystic Kid Saves the Day

At three and a half, she was plagued by bad luck and hated by everyone, even dogs. This was the new setup for Huo Xingmian, a mystical arts master whom the Heavenly Dao had kicked into ancient times. It came with one ironclad rule: save her blood relatives, or be struck by lightning. She stamped her feet and cursed, “You lousy Heavenly Dao! Whoever wants to go can go!” The next second, the Heavenly Dao struck her with a purple bolt of lightning to teach her a lesson. Huo Xingmian changed her tune in an instant. “I’ll go!” Good heavens! With great effort, she rolled her way into the Duke’s estate to claim her family. But the Duke’s estate was infamous as a house of misfortune. Even stray dogs went out of their way to avoid its gates. Her biological father, Huo Beichen, was arrogant and useless, and he actually refused to acknowledge her! What an unfilial father, defying all order! She gave him a glimpse of an impending disaster, and he fell to his knees on the spot! But then she discovered the truth. Her grandfather was possessed and had gone mad. Her grandmother had been falsely accused of murder while running her shop. Her uncle had been injured and left paralyzed, and his wife and children had abandoned him. Her father had no ambition and was useless at everything. Her younger uncle was born short-lived and wouldn’t survive past twenty. Her aunt was in the prime of her youth, yet had been jilted three times... Was this cursed Duke’s estate ever going to catch a break? Why was it so unlucky? No matter, she had strength and tricks to spare! Gradually, her grandfather reclaimed his place as a God of War: Whoever invaded the Central Plains, no matter how far away, would be killed. Her grandmother became the richest merchant in the land, with wealth pouring in. Her uncle became the Grand Secretary, second only to The Outcast. Her father passed the military imperial examination, leaving everyone stunned. Her younger uncle went from a short-lived wretch to a peerless immortal, and the talismans he drew became worth a fortune. A foreign emperor sought her aunt’s hand in marriage and wanted her to become empress. She went from being jilted to running away from marriage. All right, Huo Xingmian has a few words to say. Every difficulty is just a paper tiger! Um, Heavenly Dao, can you send me back to the modern world now?
