Is This Ancient Times? Let Her Roam the Battlefield to Carry on Her Brother's Family Line

(Both leads are career-focused. Because of her upbringing, the female lead has difficulty with emotions. The male lead later devotes himself to both his career and romance. They never marry, but later carry on an adulterous relationship, with the shameless male lead clinging to her.)

As soon as Huo Sangsang transmigrated, she ran into a disastrous family. Her older brother had lost his “younger brother,” and her parents insisted that, since she was unmarried, she should find some random man and have a child for her brother. After all, she and her brother were related by blood, so this wouldn't count as leaving the family line without an heir.

Huo Sangsang really didn't know whether to call them open-minded or old-fashioned. It was a truly disastrous start, and of course she had no intention of doing anything so stupid.

Sure enough, the ancients were hopelessly old-fashioned. She was about to abandon her loyal companions and run away, so how could they still be willing to throw their lives away for an impostor?

So annoying!

Fed up and unable to make a clean getaway, Huo Sangsang thought: Have a kid, then. Who's afraid of whom?

Have the baby and ditch the father, run away while pregnant: she knew all about those tropes. Had they forgotten how much melodramatic romance she'd read online among the stars?

Still, she had standards, so she wasn't going to shortchange herself. She might as well find the child some good genes, too.

Hey, you, the envoy. You look good and you're pretty tall. How about donating some sperm? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!

The drugged man clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the woman approaching him.

He was going to kill her!

Later, after she had risen to the top with her child, the man she'd drugged came looking for her.

Huo Sangsang: Kneel and call me Your Majesty!
