When she wakes up, Hai Xiaoman has become a little girl in a fishing village during the Dayong Dynasty, with no one to love her.

Her father disappeared at sea, her mother is so sick she can't get out of bed, and her grandmother calls her a useless money sink every day. All the family has left is a broken thatched hut with a leaky roof.

While other children are still crying, Hai Xiaoman has already rolled up her trousers, grabbed a little wooden bucket, and headed out to forage along the shore.

She gathers conches at low tide, catches crabs among the rocks, digs for clams on the beach, and feels for sea cucumbers in the shallows.

All the rotten fish and shrimp that others turn their noses up at become delicious dishes in her hands.

“This is kelp. We can sell it!”

“This is seaweed. We can dry it and trade it for grain!”

“There’s a pearl inside this big shell. We can trade it for silver!”

With her own two little hands, Hai Xiaoman takes her frail mother and two older brothers from a poor family that can barely eat to becoming the richest household in the village.

But why does the poor little boy she brought home look more and more like that cold-faced prince from the city as he grows up?

One day, the man climbs ashore and sweeps her into his arms.

“Manman, come back to the capital with me.”

Hai Xiaoman hugs her little wooden bucket tight. “No! There’s no sea in the capital, and no big crabs either!”

Later, enemy forces invade, the people run short of food, and the entire court is at a loss.

Hai Xiaoman steps forward, patting her little chest.

“Don't be afraid. We live by the sea, so we can eat from the sea. First, we'll dry seafood into provisions, then we'll build salt fields!”

She only wanted to live quietly as a little coastal-foraging millionaire. She never expected that, without even meaning to, she would save the prince, make the fishing village rich, and be named Princess Fuhai by the emperor.
