It tells the story of 1982, when Niannian, a three-and-a-half-year-old orphan regarded by villagers as a "little disaster star," was adopted by Chunyan, a poor fisherwoman. Little did they know, she could understand the voice of the sea, not only leading her mother to catch nets full of fresh fish and harvest pearls, but also bringing a continuous stream of good luck to her family. The once unwanted little pitiful girl was transformed into the family's darling, leading the whole family to live a prosperous and vibrant life!
