In the year when Shen Yanhe was born, his sworn brother won the battle.
Brought back a blond boy.
The carriages and horses drove all the way through the streets of Jindu. Shen Yanhe was squeezed into the crowd and when he opened his eyes again, he was met with a pair of pupils full of fierceness.
Passerby A: "The person in this prison car is the Nanyang Crown Prince of Beili, I heard. I heard that he entered Shaling as a hostage at the age of ten. Now that Shaling has been destroyed and the son has been captured by General Lu, there is no need to send the princess to Beili for marriage."
Passerby B: "I don't think so. If Nanyang Hou really valued him, why would he cut off his love and send him to Shaling? If there really was a war, who would care about the life of a proton."
At the palace banquet, the emperor wanted to marry Shen Yanhe to the second prince.
Shen Yanhe: "Thank you for your kindness. I heard that there is no candidate for the marriage with Beili. I am willing to ask for the marriage myself."
Shen Yanhe thought he would not agree, but the next moment the emperor laughed and agreed on the spot.
Shen Yanheos: It's over, I lost my wife and lost my troops
After the palace banquet, Shen Yanhe returned to the General's Mansion. Before she even stepped into the General's Mansion, she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. She turned around and saw the rider throwing a man off the horse, telling her that the imperial edict would arrive tomorrow and he would fly away.
Before Shen Yanhe could figure out the situation, she saw that the man on the ground had climbed up. His shabby prison clothes were stained with blood. The man was standing in front of her, half a head taller than her. Even with his disheveled face, it was hard to ignore his astonishing eyes that shone in the dark night.
It was the boy in the prison car that day!

Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, everything in the court changed.
Shen Yanhe took Li Zaihe and fled north to live incognito.
Half a year later, the border war broke out and the imperial court forced conscription.
Li Zaihe plunged into the recruitment team without saying a word.
Shen Yanhe wrapped up the temporarily prepared winter clothes, frostbite ointment, and dry food, and ran for several miles with her pregnant belly raised, then handed the package to him and told him: "Remember to add more clothes when it gets cold, and be sure to apply medicine if your hands are frostbitten. The dry food is not easy to spoil in the cold weather on the border and should be enough for you for three months."
Li Zaihe stared at her slightly anxious face and remained silent.
"Also, I care about your life." She thought about it but felt it was inappropriate, and added, "The child cannot live without his father."
*
Three months later, Li Zaihe returned from the battlefield alive, but she left only one child behind and disappeared.
When I saw her again three years later, she was accompanied by a child. The child called her mother and then called another man father.
What a harmonious family of three!
