The 1980s: I Bring My Child to the Capital, and the Soldier Begs Me Not to Divorce Him

Song Xia died. At least, that’s what the death certificate stamped with a red seal said.

Her “husband,” Sima Ming, the youngest powerful military officer in the capital, stood at her grave for three years. Three years later, he was forced to go on a matchmaking date and marry again.

But right there at the matchmaking banquet...

A woman in a worn cotton-padded jacket, leading a pair of twins, blocked the entrance to the military compound.

“Sign the divorce papers.”

When she slapped the documents down on the table, everyone was stunned. The teacup in the man’s hand shattered on the floor, because the two children looked exactly like him.

Everyone thought she was a country woman trying to marry up.

No one knew she had an ancient medical space where her acupuncture needles could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones. No one knew she was the true daughter of the capital’s most powerful family, lost many years ago. And no one knew that the “death certificate” had been forged by the person closest to her.

She had planned to sign the papers and leave, but the man cornered her against the red walls, his eyes bloodshot.

“You can have the divorce. Give me back my life.”
