"Not yet found." The thought of Qin Zhi Han pursuing Su Ruolan made Qi Runzhou's heart sink. Was Su Ruolan really his wife? This iron-willed general became utterly confused when it came to matters of the heart. Images of Su Ruolan and Kang Wanying flashed in his mind—one cold and aloof, the other charming and delicate. He recalled Su Ruolan's fierce reaction upon learning of his remarriage, and Kang Wanying's madness after losing their child, causing a sharp pain to throb in his head.
After losing control this time, Kang Wanying's energy surged chaotically within her, nearly driving her to madness. The child, still too young, could not withstand the impact. Seeing Kang Wanying lying on the bed, pale and lifeless, devoid of tears or cries, as if all vitality had drained from her, pierced Qi Runzhou's heart. Did he truly have no fate with descendants? Su Ruolan's child had already gone missing, their eldest daughter lost without a trace; their son had died tragically at six months in the womb; and now this child was lost before even reaching three months. What had he done wrong? Was his karma so heavy that it fell upon his offspring? Approaching the bedside, Qi Runzhou looked at Kang Wanying filled with infinite regret. He tucked the blanket around her gently and whispered, "Wan Ying, you are still young. We will have children again; you must recover quickly."
Kang Wanying kept her eyes closed, striving to sever all ties with the world around her—she would neither listen nor see nor ask. As a mother, even in her self-deception, she knew that the bond with that unborn child was gone. It had once brought her immense joy but was lost due to her own negligence. Waves of regret surged within her. If only she had been more mindful, not so stubborn or proud, if she had quietly waited at home for Qi Runzhou's choice—wouldn't this child still be alive? Why had she let herself be so foolishly convinced that he was strong enough not to be hurt? Why did Qi Runzhou have to go find that Su Ruolan? If he hadn't sought out that wretched woman, wouldn't she have kept her child? She had already left for years; why return now to disrupt her life? Didn't she realize how despicable she was? Did she know she was pregnant? Had she come back to harm her child because hers could not be saved? But how could she know about her pregnancy? Had she returned long ago and been watching their lives until now just to ruin hers? She was jealous; she was shameless. When she was with Runzhou, Su Ruolan was dead—gone! She hadn’t destroyed her family or relationship; what right did she have to ruin her life? Right! She was dead—so how could she come back? Was she human or ghost? Had she become a ghost unwilling to let go and thus sought trouble with her? But if she was unwilling to let go, shouldn’t she confront those who harmed her instead? Why come after her when she had never harmed anyone? No, wait—did she know about that incident? But that couldn't be! How could she possibly know? She had only been captured and asked who Qi Runzhou's wife was and where she lived.
At that time, she had secretly admired Runzhou and often watched him from afar. Each time she saw him and his wife in loving moments, it pained her deeply, yet she never voiced those feelings. She suppressed them while silently observing them countless times until she knew their lives and movements like the back of her hand. The more she understood them, the more despair and pain grew within her; yet still, she couldn't help but watch them. That self-torturing affection often left her feeling as if countless scars were etched into her heart.
That night, trouble ensnared her like a trap; fear gripped her as the kidnappers treated her like their servant. When they asked where Mrs. Runzhou lived, due to how well she knew about it in her heart, the answer slipped out almost instinctively. Although later they merely knocked her unconscious without causing any real harm, it felt strange at the time; however, after a few days without any significant events occurring, it faded from her mind. That night spent abandoned in an alley led to a severe cold that took half a month to recover from.
When she finally felt well enough to go outside again, news of the tragic incident reached her ears. Thinking of how heartbroken Qi Runzhou must be, despite her frail condition, she rushed over to find him—only to be told he had already left.
From then on, the flame of admiration in her heart blazed fiercely and could not be extinguished. She vowed to recover quickly and present herself before him with a bright image; surely she could heal his emotional wounds.
