Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

After Lin Dan went to the frontier secretly, the Lin family was in a mess for quite a while. The great empress didn't even dare to get sick. She quickly got up and get some food and sent someone to find her granddaughter along the way, fearing that she would encounter any danger. A complete family had now become a mess.

On the contrary, Aunt Shi and Lin Wan, who were driven out by the great empress, lived a comfortable life. The Lin family had many heirs, and all of them were skilled in literary and martial arts, quite promising. The child in Aunt Shi's belly was not so precious at all. When the baby was born, the Lin family would provide him the necessities, but nothing more. But now, the situation was completely different. All the good sons of the Lin family had died on the battlefield; only Lin Qing survived by luck. However, he was positioned to fight at the frontier, which was very dangerous. Therefore, the child in Aunt Shi's belly became an indispensable existence in the Lin family and must be well protected and raised up.

The night when the great empress received the devastating news, she sent someone to invite Aunt Shi back to the mansion. Aunt Shi said she was too weak to move, so she was unwilling to get on the carriage. The great empress understood her intention, so she went to pick her up in person the next day and apologized to her. For the sake of the child and the future of the Lin family, the great empress could bear anything.

Aunt Shi quitted the acting when the great empress came in person. She took Lin Wan and return to the mansion. After a few days, Lin Wan was found out to be pregnant, which made the great empress very angry. Only then did the people know that when Lin Wan and King Kang fell into the wilderness on the night, they spend the night together and got pregnant with a bastard child. What Ding Mujie had said to praise them before was just humiliating now. One of two was contemptible, and the other was frivolous. What a shameless couple.

The great empress was so furious that she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit blood, but she had to dispatch someone to send a message to King Kang. King Kang hadn't had a son since he got married for five years, so he was a little anxious. Although Lin Wan was of no use to him and the Lin family had been defeated, the child was the key to seize the throne. He couldn't refuse it, so he ordered someone to pick up Lin Wan with a sedan chair.

Lin Wan was more or less unwilling to accept that she couldn't have a grand wedding and might not become the imperial concubine in the future. But she felt relieved when she thought that as long as she was pregnant with King Kang's only child, she could depend on her son. Seeing that the Lin family was getting worse, she was delighted that she would have endless wealth in the future while she moved to the king's mansion. Apart from that, she was still imagining the miserable situation Lin Dan was enduring at the moment.

From her point of view, Lin Dan was extremely stupid to go to the frontier alone. Perhaps she had been raped and killed by some bandits. She wanted to tell the great empress, "It's better to find her bones instead of looking for her everywhere; that will be more efficient.".

Unfortunately, not long after she was complacent, a war report came from the frontier, saying that General Xue Zhao had died in the battle. At the critical moment, Lin Dan took the position of Xue Zhao and became the leading general of the central army. She would lead the Western army to defeat the Huns and regain the conquered Hetao area.

In the battlefield report, King Zhuang frequently requests to reward Lin Dan. He said that it was inappropriate to have a female general, but it turned out that he had the right judgment. Lin Dan was highly valued. Father, please give forgiveness. Then, he complimented the only female general again and wrote them clearly on the report.
