A modern-day gluttonous little Taotie unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of an abandoned human toddler during a famine in another world.
Just as she is about to freeze to death, the Shen family's sons find her and take her home. Her five older brothers absolutely spoil her.
But her father, a rough-and-ready hunter, is full of worry. His youngest daughter eats far too much, and he fears he won't be able to feed her.
The villagers all think Second Brother Shen has gone crazy. He already has a sickly wife and five boys, and now he's taken in another burden to raise?!
Little Niannian kicks her chubby legs: Don't worry, don't worry! This divine beast is determined to become a lucky beast. My space comes with a huge farm that can feed the whole family.
And so, the old Shen family's well starts overflowing with endless plump fish; a hen falls from the sky and lays eggs all over their courtyard; and after one trip outside, a nanny goat follows Old Shen home, refusing to be shaken off...
After Little Niannian arrives, timely snow falls upon the drought-stricken land, and the following year brings a bumper harvest.
The villagers of Taoli Village slap their thighs. The Shen family didn't just pick up a greedy little girl. They brought home a little blessing star!
I'm learning from this master; the writing is excellent, the plot is incredibly gripping. I've already added this book to my collection; feel free to add it to yours as well.
