[Cute kids in an ancient setting + confiscation and exile + cutting off family ties and punishing scoundrels + general father + beloved army mascot + satisfying patriotic tale]
When military doctor Jiang Suisui opened her eyes, she had become a three-and-a-half-year-old girl on the verge of freezing to death on the road to exile in the Great Qin dynasty.
Her own grandmother stripped off her padded coat, her cousin snatched her rations, and her uncle kicked her. In the end, they even sold her to deserters for half a sack of millet.
Everyone thought that if a penniless little girl with no father or mother died in the snow, no one would care.
But Jiang Suisui neither cried nor fussed. She chewed through her bonds, knocked out the deserters, and, clutching half a tiger tally and a map of the northern defenses, crawled back to the exile camp.
Her relatives called her a demon, and her grandmother said she was a bad omen.
Clutching half a piece of dried ration left by her mother, Jiang Suisui said in her childish voice, “I want to cut ties with this family.”
The next moment, the escort officer's expression changed.
“This concerns military defenses. Send her to the North Slope Camp and put her in General Jiang Chen's care.”
The entire Jiang family dropped to their knees in terror.
Only then did they learn that the three-and-a-half-year-old girl they had sold was the only daughter of the great general guarding the northern frontier.
