Return to the Noble Family, Eight Brothers Exclusively Dote On Me

Xiao Xi is a six-year-old girl abandoned at birth in Shencheng. She was found by a childless couple but abandoned again when they had their own child. She survives by collecting bottles and cardboard, living in a shack at the North City Garbage Dump. She wears a jade thumb ring engraved with "Xi", the only link to her family. One year ago, an elderly scrap collector felt a connection and took her as his apprentice. He taught her calligraphy, painting, musical instruments, chess, and medical skills in a small courtyard with a Spirit Gathering Array. Under the influence of spiritual energy, she mastered these skills in less than a year. He then taught her cultivation, and she reached the Early Stage of Qi Refining. Last night, her master said he must leave, as he did not belong here. He tapped her forehead, leaving a sealed gift that she can receive when she finds her family and her cultivation improves. He told her that the jade ring would lead her to her family and instructed her to show it to anyone who asked. He closed the courtyard gate and disappeared. Xiao Xi was devastated. She found a small hamster that often watched her and named it Xiao Dou.

The next evening, Xiao Xi encountered a flooded road under a bridge. She warned an electric bike rider, but he ignored her and got stuck. Then a Maserati approached. Xiao Xi rushed into the road to stop it. The driver, Old Zhao, braked, annoyed. The passenger, Ye Yichen, CEO of Ye's Group and seventh young master of the Ye family, one of Shencheng's four great families, told him to see what she wanted. Xiao Xi warned them of the flood. Ye Yichen looked at the girl and felt inexplicable familiarity and closeness. Believing her, he had Old Zhao give her a thousand yuan. Xiao Xi refused but then accepted, needing money for winter. When she tucked the bills into her clothes, the jade ring fell out. Ye Yichen was shocked. He pushed the door open and knelt, asking to see the ring. Xiao Xi let him inspect it but then ran off, afraid he wanted to buy it. Ye Yichen could not learn her address. He sent a message to his brothers that his sister was found and ordered a thorough search for a girl with a jade ring in Chengbei by noon.

The next morning, his men located her at the garbage dump. Xiao Xi thought they were from an orphanage and ran. They chased, assuring they only wanted to see the ring. She stopped and showed it. Chen Dafu, an old servant who served Ye Yichen's grandfather, examined it with a magnifying glass. He saw the character "Xi" and wept, recognizing it as the Ye family's ancestral jade thumb ring, which the old master said would only be passed to a granddaughter. He fainted from shock. Soon, Ye Yichen arrived. He knelt before Xiao Xi and called her his younger sister. He told her her real name is Ye Xiaoxi and that she was stolen from a hospital in the south six years ago. The ring was left to her by their grandfather. Xiao Xi saw love in his eyes and believed him, calling him brother.

Ye Yichen cleared out her shack, taking her junk and her hamster, loading them into his Maserati with the trunk tied. On the way, Xiao Xi placed newspapers on the seat to avoid dirtying the car. She asked for fried chicken. Ye Yichen took her to a shop and ordered a full table. Xiao Xi ate ravenously, sharing fries with Xiao Dou. Bystanders watched the handsome man dote on the dirty girl. Then they drove to his estate, a beautiful manor halfway up a mountain. Servants lined up to welcome the young miss. Xiao Xi bathed for over two hours, washing away the impurities expelled during cultivation progress. She emerged with fair skin and bright eyes, transformed into a lovely fairy. Ye Yichen had arranged new clothes and a room. Xiao Xi felt her master's prophecy had come true. She now has a brother who gives her a home and love. She continues her cultivation, knowing that when her power increases, she can receive the gift sealed in her mind by her master. She is no longer alone.
