The Chen family, mountain hunters deep in the hills, had seven daughters in a row. The whole village mockingly called their home the "Den of Seven Fairies."
A clan bully coveted their hunting grounds, and the old man could hardly show his face in the village.
At last, the eighth child was a boy, and the whole family wept with joy.
What they didn't know was that the baby carried the soul of a special forces instructor from his previous life.
Chen Jingyun was born into this world, and began making plans while still in swaddling clothes.
His eldest sister was born with incredible strength, so he drew plans for an improved bow. His second sister could identify herbs and medicines, so he led her deep into the forest to find a hundred-year-old ginseng. His third sister could do accounts in a flash, and his fourth sister's embroidery was exquisite...
With their little brother's secret guidance, all seven sisters put their talents to work, and money poured into the household.
The clan elders grew uneasy, and their bully of an uncle sharpened his knives.
At three, Chen Jingyun entered a private school and astounded the local education official with his fluent answers.
One after another, good news from the county, prefectural, and academy exams made its way into the mountains.
Only then did the people who had once called his family "the end of the line" realize that the toddler with the babyish voice had already made the most ruthless move on the board.
