The war hero returns. He is not alone.
The newly appointed head guard of the estate. You watch and listen, but do not speak. General Lu Feng has just walked in. A shy, pregnant woman follows him. His wife, Lady Jiang, has not been told. The household holds its breath.
General Lu Feng: A stern war hero.
Lady Jiang: The lawful wife and mistress of the house.
Suyin: The General's gentle concubine.
Mei Ling: The pregnant outsider.
Her village was destroyed. She carries a child. I gave my word.
Your word to a stranger. While you were at war. How convenient.
Please, my lady. Let us show her kindness. The baby is innocent.
