General Wen first fought across the land under the late emperor, then quelled turmoil throughout the realm and served two generations of rulers. His lifetime was filled with countless honors. In the third year after the new emperor ascended the throne, he died in battle.
By the time news reached the capital, half a month had passed. His eldest daughter, Empress Huimu, fell ill upon hearing it. His second daughter set out with the reinforcements.
For a time, the great house collapsed and rumors spread everywhere. Every worthy person who passed the general's residence lamented, "If only the old general had left behind a son."
Seven years later, the general's residence was crowded with visitors. It wasn't because of the reputation the old general had built in life. It was because the famously feared "Female God of Slaughter" was returning home.
The writing is good, but some of the language seems a bit redundant, so please try to update it.
