Chapter 1: The Little One Plans to Escape

Inside the general’s residence of the Southern Fortress Kingdom, a chubby little girl, no older than five, with two small braids, round face, round eyes, chubby hands, and legs like little spheres, was exerting all her might to climb a towering five-meter wall. She scrambled with both hands and feet, but her feet still touched the ground.

If you listened closely, you’d hear the little one muttering, “Damn it, why did that old man build the wall so high for no reason? Is he bullying my tiny arms and legs because I can’t climb it? Hmph! The more he tries to stop me, the more I want to climb! I’ll climb it, I will!”

Despite her determined muttering, the little girl struggled in vain, still stuck at the corner of the wall after half an hour.

Nearby, a burly man with a rough exterior was hiding behind an artificial rock, barely able to contain his laughter. He pressed his large hand firmly against his mouth, trying not to laugh aloud. The little girl’s fighting spirit far surpassed that of her dear mother, and holding back was quite a struggle.

The little girl, dressed in bright red children’s clothing, turned her face dark, twisted her expression, and said, “Old man, don’t hide. I can smell your sweaty stench from far away. If you want to laugh, just laugh out loud! Oh dear, don’t hold it in and get sick. Otherwise, mother will whip you!”

The big rough man, realizing he had been caught, could no longer hold back and burst into loud laughter. “You naughty girl, can’t stand to see your father happy, huh? Alright, your mother is calling you back for a meal! Come here, Daddy will carry you back.”

The little girl protested loudly, “Old man, let me go! I want to leave the residence!”

Regardless of her shouts, the burly man cheerfully carried his precious daughter back inside.

The little girl’s first attempt at climbing the wall had failed!

“Tangyuan, where have you gone off to play again? Look at your clothes, you’re a girl, how can you be so careless? What will you do in the future?” Zhao Tingyou scolded the little imp sharply.

“Mother, don’t call me Tangyuan! I’m not Tangyuan! My name is Zhan Tai Lingwei!” The little girl crossed her chubby hands on her hips, raised her head proudly, her already large, round eyes growing even bigger in displeasure at her mother’s nickname.

Seeing the little girl’s temper flare, Zhao Tingyou didn’t soothe her but instead poured gasoline on the fire, glancing sideways at her little daughter’s waist, “Tangyuan, Tangyuan, Tangyuan! It’s not like you picked the name yourself; your mother chose it. I’ll call you whatever I want! Now go wash your hands! Darling, I’m hungry.”

Tangyuan huffed in dissatisfaction, glaring fearlessly at the big rough man watching the scene, “Hmph, mother is still a princess, just like the shrews on South Street! Daddy, you better keep your wife in check, and remember, don’t ever let her call me Tangyuan!”

The big rough man hadn’t expected the little girl to turn on him and scratched his nose awkwardly. “Honey, look, Tangyuan is hungry too. Let’s go inside. Lingwei, Daddy was wrong, Daddy admits it.”

The moment the word “Tangyuan” was spoken, the little girl unleashed her ultimate weapon—clinging to Daddy’s leg, her eyes red and sparkling with tears like a cute little red-eyed rabbit.

Seeing this, the burly man’s heart softened immediately. He quickly put down his wife and scooped up the little one. “Lingwei, Daddy was wrong. Daddy’s memory isn’t good. You’re so generous, forgive Daddy this once!”

“Tangyuan, you pull this stunt every time you lose. I despise you!” Zhao Tingyou couldn’t help but scold the little one’s antics.

“Daddy, Mommy is so fierce. Daddy, Lingwei is scared!” The little girl buried her head into the big man’s chest, complaining pitifully.

The burly man glanced helplessly at his wife, then at the motionless little girl in his arms. After a moment’s struggle, he sighed, “Daddy will take you to wash your hands.” Then he slunk away.
