After the Beautiful Mother Was Taken by Force
OnGoing
Dai Li never imagined that an ordinary day sending her child to school would result in losing the son she had relied on for survival. After arranging everything, she went to the riverside where the school bus had crashed and threw herself into the water, hoping to reunite with her little one in the afterlife.
What she thought was the end turned out to be a new beginning—when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
The surroundings were antique and elegant, filled with the fragrance of cosmetics and the soft murmurs of women. It felt like the backyard of a pleasure house, everything hazy as if in a dream.
Following her instincts, Dai Li fled outward, only to encounter a domineering man who seemed to be a guest there. She managed to outwit him and escape, never expecting that the man would directly demand her from the owner of the estate.
Later, Dai Li learned that the man she had stumbled upon was none other than the uncrowned king of the northern lands—the only military general in the court who had risen to the rank of marquis through sheer battlefield merit.
The world had fallen into chaos, with warlords rising on all sides. She had arrived in an era of turmoil.
Nine years old marked the first dividing line in Zhou Zhou's life.
Before the age of nine, he was his mother's sweet darling, a candy bean raised in a jar of honey, the successor of the red flag. After nine, he became a weed on the roadside that anyone could trample, a lowly wretch who had to fight vicious dogs for scraps to survive, and a bloodstained blade in someone else's hands, pointed wherever they commanded.
Drifting alone with no one to rely on, he had reminisced countless times about his mother's gentle smile and warmth, but he never imagined that one day, he would actually reunite with her!
Except...
As he stared at the man with an arm wrapped around his mother's waist, he fell into silence.
Things seemed to have gotten extremely complicated.
Reader's Guide:
1. A love story between parents.
2. The mother and son did not arrive in ancient times at the same time, so there is an X-year gap.
3. A tale of coercion and conquest—read with caution if this isn't your cup of tea.
