The Max-Level Boss Becomes the Group Favorite in a Period Novel

Ning Bao was the greatest Daoist of her time. She accumulated five lifetimes’ worth of merit, dying in each one to save the world. Only after her fifth life ended did she think she might finally have earned complete merit. But when she opened her eyes again, she had wound up in the body of a little girl in the 1970s, and someone had taken her home. Looking at the bare walls, her lame father, and her blind mother, she reached for the space that had accompanied her through five lives. Well, this wasn’t such a big deal. * One day, a foolish little girl arrived in Happiness Village. The villagers felt sorry for her, but none of them wanted to raise her. In the end, the lame old Ning family took her in. Old Ning’s family also had a blind daughter-in-law and a little girl only two years older than the new arrival. Old Ning was the only one supporting the whole family. They named the little girl Ning Bao and held her close, calling her Bao Bao every day and doting on her endlessly. Everyone in and around the village laughed at the Ning family for raising someone else’s child as their own. They were fools, all right. But no one expected the foolish little girl to suddenly stop being foolish one day. After Ning Bao regained her wits, good fortune began to find the old Ning family. First, Old Ning’s leg suddenly healed, and his wife regained her sight. Then money came pouring in, and the Ning family became the richest in Happiness Village. When Ning Bao’s biological parents, who had thought she was stupid and abandoned her, heard what had happened, they couldn’t sit still. They rushed to Happiness Village to take her back, making a scene and fighting to snatch the child. In the chaos, one of them twisted a leg, and all their crops died in the fields. Everyone said it was Heaven’s punishment for abandoning a lucky child. The heroine is a laid-back sort, blessed with boundless merit.
