Theme: The right person helps us become better
Pre-receiptLate at night, the flowers are still awake Huaying thought she entered the palace to seek justice for her family, but found out that His Majesty, who was now the master of their family, was still a cub? This made Hua Ying unable to deal with it. None of the eighteen martial arts skills she had prepared for palace fighting were put to use. Instead, she worked overtime to study the instructions for raising cubs, hoping that the baby emperor, who was still in his infancy, would die before he could take charge of the throne. Her family of more than 100 people had no hope at all... The process of raising cubs is difficult enough for outsiders to understand, and one must always be wary of all kinds of weird "attacks"... After finally overcoming all obstacles and reaching the age when the young emperor could take charge of his own affairs, Huaying weakly wiped the non-existent beads of sweat on his forehead. She felt deeply that she was a young girl who had tried a painless experience of being a mother. She happily threw away her hands and prepared to return to her happy hometown... But the cub raised by his own hands was like a hedgehog possessing him. He suddenly changed from a well-behaved little puppy to a rebellious kid who said no to everything and even refused to get married. Seeing that Huaying's long-awaited pro-government was about to turn into a dream... For her happy and stable retirement life, Huaying could only roll up her sleeves with tears in her eyes and continue to wear clothes, vowing to help the cub possessed by a naughty child find true love within a month!

The key is that these two are men! Huaying secretly hugged her trembling self, wailing in her heart—— Isn't it possible that her cub has been raised crookedly?
