Ye Yifeng of the Yunxi Kingdom had just won a hard-fought battle against the Lingyu Kingdom.
His personal guard, Yan Suyi, felt unwell after the battle. When the army doctor took her pulse, his eyes widened. It was hard to imagine that a martial artist, and a highly skilled one at that, could have such a delicate, feminine pulse.
Taking her pulse again, he discovered she was two months pregnant.
Ye Yifeng noticed the doctor’s expression, and his heart sank as he feared the worst.
“How is he?”
His guard was a woman disguised as a man, and also the woman he loved. No one in the army knew.
Thinking of how the two of them were together day and night, the doctor was no longer quite so shocked.
He gave a quiet cough, hoping this wouldn’t get him killed.
“She’s pregnant.”
Ye Yifeng settled Yan Suyi somewhere safe, hoping the war would end soon.
Then he could stay by her side and protect her.
But an accident caused Ye Yifeng to lose all news of Yan Suyi.
