Ning Bao, the foremost figure in Taoism, accumulated five lifetimes' worth of merit. In each lifetime, she died saving the world. Only after her fifth life ended did she think she had finally completed her good karma. But when she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the body of a little girl in the 1970s, and someone had taken her home.
Looking at the house with nothing in it, her lame-legged father, and her blind mother, she reached into the pocket dimension that had been with her for five lifetimes.
Well, it's not a big deal.
*
One day, a foolish little girl arrived in Happiness Village. The villagers felt sorry for her, but no one wanted to take her in. In the end, Old Ning, a lame-legged man, brought her home.
Old Ning's family also included his blind wife and a little girl just two years older than the foolish child. Old Ning was the only one supporting the whole family.
The family named the foolish child Ning Bao. Every day, they cuddled her and called her A-Bao, doting on her like crazy. Everyone in and around the village laughed at the Ning family for raising someone else's child as their own. They really were fools.
But no one expected that one day the foolish girl would suddenly stop being foolish.
After Ning Bao became clever, good fortune began to come to the Old Ning family. First Old Ning's leg suddenly healed, then his wife's eyesight returned. Money poured in, and the Old Ning family became the richest in Happiness Village.
When Ning Bao's biological parents, the neighbors who had thought her foolish and abandoned her, heard about this, they couldn't sit still. They rushed to Happiness Village to take her back, throwing tantrums and grabbing for the child. In the scuffle, one of them accidentally broke a leg, and all the crops in their fields died. Everyone said they had brought heavenly retribution upon themselves by abandoning a little girl who brought good fortune.
The heroine is a laid-back slacker, full of merit.
