[Mutual devotion + feel-good revenge + putting scoundrels in their place + father-and-son regrets + native heroine vs. transmigrator rival]
After six years of marriage, Lu Shiqian came home less and less often. Whenever he did, he always brought Wen Mo, the only female official in the court.
When Wen Mo repeatedly provoked Xie Qingwu, Lu Shiqian told her not to make wild assumptions or insult an official of the court.
The son she had nearly died giving birth to called her ugly and a burden, and insisted on taking Wen Mo as his mother.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, Xie Qingwu decided she wanted nothing more to do with either of them!
Six years later, Xie Qingwu returned to the capital with her adopted son. She had become a celebrated female general, a first-rank official.
Meanwhile, the female official who called herself the “transmigrator” and claimed to be the protagonist was running out of ideas and struggling to get by at court.
When Xie Qingwu went to war for her country, the father and son who had abandoned her came running to her, bringing precious medicinal herbs and protective talismans.
Desperate for her forgiveness, they did one more outrageous thing after another!
Lu Shiqian pleaded, his voice trembling. “Qingwu, come home with me. I was wrong.”
