Qingchao Bay has a terrifying legend: anyone swept into the Black Reef's undercurrents vanishes without a trace.
When eight-year-old Yun Tuan was kicked in by a creditor, she not only came back safe and sound, but also brought back a giant crab to pay off the debt!
From that day on, the Yun family's life took a strange turn.
Orcas spat gold coins in front of their house.
Giant sea turtles hauled spices to their door: mermaid-tear crystal salt that made food ten times more flavorful, sweet-and-tart glacier lemon fruits bursting with juice, blue-blood vine pepper that left your mouth tingling, and dream-inducing lemon verbena... They brought it all!
The men and women of Qingchao Village doted on her like the apple of their eye. After all, Tuan Bao was the village's treasure and their path to prosperity!
She led the whole village in setting up a seafood stall, then launched Qingchao Seafood Street!
Night-glow spiny lobsters tossed with lemon-fruit vinegar were icy and refreshing, all the way to the top of your head.
The sizzling, oily grilled giant squid tentacles were springy and bursting with juice.
Black-gold abalone baked with vine pepper was so spicy, fresh, and fragrant, it set off fireworks in your mouth!
The moment these heavenly dishes appeared, half the Great Sheng Dynasty was left drooling!
The emperor, traveling incognito, was so tempted he couldn't move, while the young prince nearly came to blows with the grand secretary's grandson over a bowl of lemon-verbena seafood Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
The whole village grew rich, with gold ingots piled higher than the boats!
Once she'd earned enough, Yun Tuan waved her little hand. "Bro, build a big ship! Let's head to the deep sea!"
Outsiders thought Tuan Bao had gotten carried away, daring to challenge the mists of the open sea with a fleet.
But when an ironclad giant tore through the storm and reached the legendary man-eating deserted island, everyone watched in horror as the deep-sea overlords lined up obediently, carefully attending to a handsome man with amnesia.
The man stared at Yun Tuan as she jumped off the ship, then blinked. "Daughter?"
Yun Tuan: Dad, I've brought my invincible fleet to take you home so we can suffer together!
