Chapter 1 — Heartless Husband

Updated 10/08/2026 8 min read

After my fifth daughter passed away, I corrected all the habits that made my major general husband disgusted. His military training exercise ended on the seventh, and I immediately rescheduled duty duty to the eighth. He wanted to have sex with his childhood sweetheart, so I took the initiative to give up the wedding room and move to a quiet attic. Even on the day my daughter was buried, the person in charge of the burial told me to call the child's father, I just calmly replied: "She doesn't have a father." An employee recognized me: "You are Mrs. Ha, right? Major General Ha is right next to the barracks, do you need me to report?" I shook my head slightly, saying no need. Half an hour later, Ha Lang Chau still arrived. Between the man's sharp eyebrows, suppressing the fierceness like gun smoke, his voice was low and cold: "To Van Chi! Why didn't you wait for me? I am also An An's father!" My voice was calm: "The military is busy, An An will understand." The overly obedient answer made Ha Lang Chau suddenly angry. He was about to open his mouth, but was pinned in place by the surrounding whispers.

“Major General Ha really cared about sister Nam Tu. As soon as he heard sister Nam Tu had a nightmare, he immediately stood by her day and night, not even caring for his daughter's funeral.”

"There, wait until sister Nam Tu falls asleep before running to the funeral."

"Sister Nam Tu caused the four daughters of Major General Ha and Mrs. Ha to die, Major General Ha was still able to protect them, that's truly generous!"

Ha Lang Chau's fingers suddenly tightened, his eyes looked at me warily, afraid that I would go crazy and cause a ruckus like before. But I didn't even tremble my eyelashes, I just quietly covered the last handful of yellow soil.

"Van Chi, Nam Tu is sick, she just vented her anger on the child, don't get attached to her."

"Your body is good, you can still give birth, we will still have children in the future."

Ha Lang Chau's tone was a bit unnatural, I calmly nodded. But he didn't know, he was born to be a descendant. I entered the military world, tied up the fertility system, and then gave birth to five children for him. But the efficiency of the fertility-friendly system is limited. After giving birth to five children, my mission to continue his lineage was completed. Three days later, I was able to return to the real world. As for him, he intends to destroy his son. … Returning to the Ha family, To Nam Tu and old lady Ha were already waiting there. Old Lady Ha angrily said: "To Van Chi lost five children in a row, it must be because her virtue is not good, she is not worthy to be a mother!"

“The Ha family is a martial arts family, passed down through three generations, if it can't give birth to a son then that's it, it can't even keep a daughter!”

“Lang Chau, your father's side is very angry, I hope you can give an explanation.”

Ha Lang Chau frowned and glanced at my pale face.

“Mom, I know, I'll handle it.”

But old lady Ha still did not leave.

“I want to know how you will punish To Van Chi. After punishing him, you will have something to explain to your father.”

I tightened the hem of my shirt, a glimmer of expectation rising in my heart that I shouldn't have, hoping he could tell me the truth about me continuously losing my daughter. But no. He just said impatiently: "So what else do you want? Nam Chi just gave birth, you guys want to take her life." Star?" Seeing that old lady Ha was even more angry, Nam Tu gently pulled the hem of Ha Lang Chau's shirt.

“Lang Chau, Mom also has good intentions.”

“If a light punishment is given, her parents will not be satisfied, if a punishment is heavy, Ms. Van Chi can't stand it. It's better to punish her by kneeling on the stairs of Tinh An pagoda in the suburbs, copying prayers to pray for blessings, then both ways will be fine, okay?”

Ha Lang Chau paused, looking at my weak face, a hint of unwillingness flickered in her eyes. But in the end he still said: "Then just do as I say." At this time, old lady Ha was satisfied, Nam Tu sent her away. Ha Lang Chau felt so guilty that he couldn't bear it and held my hand tightly.

“Van Chi, I'm not good, I know you're very resentful, but don't blame me for hiding the truth, I also want to be good for everyone. Nam Tu didn't mean to make things difficult for you."

“My mother was already dissatisfied because Nam Tu could not give birth to a son, so she let me marry you, making Nam Tu an outsider. If your mother knew that the baby was dropped by Nam Tu, Nam Tu would die."

He said those words to me five times, maybe even more. But kneeling on three thousand steps at Tinh An Pagoda, for a person who has just given birth, even if he does not die, he will lose half his life. It's not that I've never protested. But last time, he skipped the entire military region meeting, just to have a candlelight dinner with Nam Tu. Because she made old lady Ha dissatisfied, she wanted to punish Nam Tu. Ha Lang Chau did not hesitate to push me, who was four months pregnant, out, saying it was my instigation. I was indignant and denounced on the spot. As a result, Nam Tu was punished by old lady Ha. Ha Lang Chau ignored my miserable pleas and beat my nanny to death along with my dowry with a stick. The reason is that I spoke nonsense and had to punish the servant to deter others. My heart has long been numb. Luckily, the system said that three days later, I would die because my postpartum body was exhausted. I looked at Ha Lang Chau, my tone was calm: "Mom is right, I can't keep my five children, it's because I deserve it." 【Chapter 2】 Ha Lang Chau's eyes flashed with surprise, but Nam Tu stepped forward: "Lang Chau, what mom means is that she wants her to leave today." Ha Lang Chau clenched his hands, just about to open his mouth. I endured the pain and stood up, with difficulty holding my coat and putting it on: "It's okay, I'll go now."

“Van Chi…”

He reached out to hold me, but I avoided him. Nam Tu sobbed: "Is Lang Chau blaming you for being too harsh on your sister, that's why I feel so sad for her?" Ha Lang Chau immediately hugged Nam Tu, the pain in his eyes almost overflowing.

“Why? I know it's not easy for you either. Don't think too much, in my heart, you are still the most important, I'm just afraid that To Van Chi will make things difficult for you."

In the past, when I still loved him, I would be hurt by these words. But now I'm used to it, I won't be hurt by those words anymore. Arriving at Tinh An Pagoda, it started to drizzle. The blood under my body mixed with the rainwater, the whole staircase was dyed a blinding red. Every time I knelt down a step, my wound felt like someone was cutting me open, and I couldn't even stand up. But I know, after kneeling on this step, I am also closer to the path home. The mist in front of my eyes became thicker and thicker, so thick that I couldn't see anything clearly anymore, then my body fell into a warm embrace. When you wake up Once again, I was in the bedroom, Ha Lang Chau held my hand tightly.

"You're finally awake. I just heard you talk about going home, are you homesick?"

"My body is not good right now. If you want to see your parents, tomorrow is Nam Tu's birthday party. My family will all come. Can you tell them to stay here?"

He spoke very gently, but I knew he didn't want me to see him. If you wanted me to meet you, you wouldn't have asked me. He was afraid that To Nam Tu would be heartbroken because of that. My original identity was originally the biological daughter of the To family in the military region, but I was mistakenly hugged and was not found back from the countryside seven years ago. To Nam Tu is the daughter they have held in their hands and loved for more than a decade. As soon as my original body was found and returned home, To Nam Tu rioted and wanted to commit suicide. The two of them fell into the water together, their bodies initially drowning. But I was at that moment because of sudden death. Since then, my parents have been extremely distant towards me. The only good thing they did for me was to let a country girl like me and To Nam Tu marry into the Ha family. After knowing that I was the one who saved Ha Lang Chau's life while on duty, the Ha family allowed me to enter the door, but my parents were not happy because of that. Just warn me not to destroy the relationship between Ha Lang Chau and To Nam Tu, they are the childhood and childhood sweethearts, the guardians of the family. Later when I became pregnant, my parents even helped To Nam Tu hide it, brought me a large amount of medicine, and then supervised me taking it. As a result, I had a difficult birth and almost lost my life. After learning that it was To Nam Tu's doing, Ha Lang Chau said nothing. It's just that from then on, he treated me very well, so well that everyone thought he had truly touched me. I shook my head: "Just saying it casually." A Hoan followed To Nam Tu and walked in: "Major General Ha, Miss Nam Tu has already prepared dinner." Ha Lang Chau immediately let go of my hand: "Van Chi, rest well, nourish your spirit, don't forget to go to the birthday party tomorrow." With his serious appearance, if it were before, I would think that he really cared about me. But now I know, there are rumors in the military region that To Nam Tu killed my child.
