The Five-Year-Old Opens Her Mouth, and Criminals Beg Her for Protection

[Period setting + adored by all + adorable child + power of words + satisfying read]

Five-year-old Xibao has a magically empowered mouth: whoever she curses is sure to suffer misfortune.

An old hag who insults her breaks her teeth on the spot, while the butcher who bullies her mother is struck by lightning.

The whole village calls her a bringer of bad luck, but her mother, who has transmigrated into this world, spoils her rotten. "That's clearly the power to make your words come true!"

After dealing with their awful relatives, mother and daughter head straight for the border to find Xibao's father, a regiment commander who's been deceived by a scheming woman.

The schemer pulls one dirty trick after another. Xibao plants her hands on her hips and snorts, "Mom, let's get a different dad!"

Lu Lin panics on the spot and launches into a campaign to win back his wife and dote on his daughter. From then on, everyone in the regiment knows that the little darling of Commander Lu's family is not to be messed with!

A prisoner refuses to talk, but one sentence from Xibao makes him crack.

Her father's comrades eagerly try to win her favor. "Commander Lu, can Xibao tell me whether my mission will go smoothly?"

Lu Lin gives them a cold look as he shields his little girl. "Didn't you all call her a bringer of bad luck before?"

They grin sheepishly. "We were blind! Xibao is clearly our regiment's lucky star!"
