Period: The Sickly Beauty Elopes with a Baby and Marries a Rugged Army Officer

[Adorable child + searching for his father + strong female lead + period setting + fantasy]

On a bitterly cold day, the stone-faced General He Zhengrong shivered on the training grounds. He never imagined that a frail wife and a four-year-old biological son would suddenly appear out of thin air!

Yu Shu, a Ninefold Xuan Snake, is gravely ill because the spiritual energy of the Age of Declining Magic has run dry.

To stay alive, the genius little darling Yu Xiaoman kicks off her “fake an accident and find Dad” plan, binding her frail, beautiful Xuan Snake mother to He Zhengrong, the toughest soldier around.

“Commander He, lend me some of your yang energy. You won’t regret it.” Yu Shu drapes herself against him, all softness and grace, and the defenses of the hard-bitten soldier who has held firm for twenty-eight years instantly crumble.

Everyone in the military district is saying that the fearsome Commander He has not only fallen head over heels for his sickly beauty, but even carries her foot-washing water to her bedside!

But just as Commander He gives in completely and begs her to cuddle him night after night, he discovers that his sickly beauty of a wife seems to have nine coiling snake shadows lurking behind her...
