Synopsis: Cunning Acquisition and Forcible Seizure, Parental Love Story, Romance in Their 30s
Main Story Completed
Dai Li never imagined that a routine school day would take the life of her only son, her sole companion in this world. After settling all affairs, she came to the riverside where the school bus had met with disaster and threw herself into the waters, hoping to reunite with her little one in the after life.
What she thought was the end turned out to be a new beginning. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Surrounded by antique furnishings, the air thick with the scent of rouge and powder, and the soft murmurs of women, she seemed to be in a backyard reserved for entertaining guests. Everything felt as hazy as a dream.
Following her instincts, Dai Li tried to escape. Along the way, she encountered an overbearing man who appeared to be a guest at the estate. She managed to outwit him and slip away, never expecting that he would directly demand her from the master of the house.
It was only later that Dai Li learned the man she had stumbled upon was the uncrowned king of the northern regions—the only military general in the court who had risen to the rank of Lord purely through his battlefield achievements.
The world had descended into chaos, with warlords rising on all fronts. She had arrived in an era of turmoil.
Nine years old marked the first major turning point in Zhou Zhou’s life.
Before the age of nine, he was his mother’s sweet darling, a candy bean nestled in a jar of honey, a successor under the red banner. After nine, he became a weed that anyone could trample on the roadside, a lowly wretch who had to fight vicious dogs for scraps to survive, and a blood-stained blade in someone else’s hands, directed to strike wherever commanded.
Alone and adrift in the world, he had countless times reminisced about his mother’s smiling face and warmth, but he never imagined that one day he would be reunited with her!
Only…
As he looked at the man with his arm wrapped around his mother’s waist, he fell into silence.
Things seemed to have become rather complicated.
