Lin Xun spent two lonely years as a widow, believing she could never have children. What she didn’t know was that her first husband was impotent, and she had been unfairly blamed for their childlessness. Forced to take fertility drugs and endure humiliation, she finally awakens to the truth: in the world of the story, she is nothing more than a disposable ex-wife, written as a foil to the main female lead. Determined to reclaim her life, she divorces and refuses to play the role fate assigned her.
The very next day, her ex-husband’s superior, the legendary cold and aloof regimental commander Huo Yanzhou, appears with a proposal. He reasons: she is infertile, he is believed to be sterile—why not form a practical partnership? Lin Xun agrees, expecting a marriage defined by convenience and boundaries.
But Huo Yanzhou refuses to respect those boundaries. He lingers day and night, persistent and unyielding, until medical reports deliver a shocking revelation—Lin Xun is pregnant. The supposedly sterile man and the supposedly infertile woman are expecting a child.
News of their marriage spreads like wildfire. The military district braces for disaster: Lin Xun is childless, Huo Yanzhou is solitary and sterile. Yet against all expectations, Lin Xun’s career skyrockets to the pinnacle of her industry, the Huo family regains its former glory, and Huo Yanzhou rises to become the youngest senior commander in the army. And to the world’s astonishment, the couple welcomes a pair of extraordinary, genius twins.
In the end, the truth becomes undeniable: the one who could not have children was never Lin Xun.
