Five Blessings at the Door: Mother Takes Charge of the Marquis’s Household

About the story

Maidservant An Sheng is born able to see spirits. She unexpectedly discovers that the five golden lights in the aloof mistress Song Zhaoyao’s womb are five divine generals Heaven has bestowed on the Zhonglie Marquis’s household. Without a vessel within three days, their souls will scatter and vanish. To escape the fate of an enslaved servant whom anyone can trample on, and to continue the heirless Zhenbei Marquis’s bloodline, An Sheng chooses to spend a night with Marquis Xie Linchuan and conceives five sons. Song Zhaoyao prides herself on being a refined scholar, yet belittles military men, damages the ancestral hall and uses her unborn children to threaten the household. She protects her lover Sheng Yan, who has embezzled soldiers’ pay, and even uses drugs to harm An Sheng and her children and steals frontier defense plans. Warned by the five divine generals and protected by Xie Linchuan, An Sheng repeatedly escapes danger.
