Seven Zeroes: The Adorable Kid Goes Tidal Foraging to Support the Family, Finding a Night Pearl from the Start

Three-and-a-half-year-old Lin Xiaotang opens her eyes to find herself a pitiful, skin-and-bones child in a fishing village in the 1970s. Her mother has run off, her father has gone missing at sea, her grandmother is bedridden, and the whole family is just waiting to starve to death.

Everyone in the village says the Lin family is finished. But the next day, little Xiaotang goes barefoot to forage along the shore and pulls a fist-sized luminous pearl from a crack in the rocks! Word gets out, and officials from the commune rush over that very night, handing over a fortune of five hundred yuan on the spot.

Little Xiaotang giggles as she strokes the pearl. Only she knows that the "ocean fortune" awakened after she was reborn is at work. While other people find seashells, she finds pearls, sea cucumbers, and wild large yellow croakers. Wherever the tide recedes, good fortune follows.

Three months later, the Lin family goes from the poorest in the village to its first household with ten thousand yuan. Half a year later, little Xiaotang leads the whole village in setting up a seafood processing plant, selling products in the provincial capital. A year later, her missing father suddenly returns, followed by a young master from a military compound who says he wants to marry her as his child bride.

Little Xiaotang plants her hands on her hips. "I haven't even claimed this stretch of sea yet. Nobody's taking me away!"
