Everyone in the village said Ling Bao'er was a jinx and a menace. Because of an egg, her adoptive mother beat her to death. The kindhearted villager Zhang Tiezhu bought Ling Bao'er and raised her as his own daughter. Everyone laughed at him for being foolish and said misfortune would befall the Zhang family.
Who would have thought that ten years later, not only had misfortune failed to befall the Zhang family, but they had instead become the wealthiest household in the entire county?
They went into business, opened a restaurant, opened a cloth shop, and lived increasingly prosperous lives.
Their eldest daughter became the finest embroiderer in Jiangnan, and her embroidery even caught the royal family's attention.
Their second son joined the army by chance and ultimately became a great general.
Their third son sat the imperial examinations and ranked first every year, becoming the newly crowned top scholar!
As for their adopted daughter Ling Bao'er, she became famous far and wide, unrivaled throughout Shengjing, and the object of desire for the sons of countless capital aristocratic families...
Everyone regretted it deeply: What jinx? What disaster star? Ling Bao'er was clearly a little bringer of good fortune!
