00:00The woman tucked the hunted boy inside a bamboo basket to keep him hidden.
00:03An instant later, an armed man stepped right in front of her.
00:05He demanded to know if she had seen a wounded boy nearby.
00:08Even with death staring her in the face, not a single word left her mouth.
00:12Furious, the gunman fired straight in her leg.
00:14The boy heard her scream in agony, and his chest tightened with panic and guilt.
00:17Just as the gunman prepared to pull the trigger again,
00:20one of his partners suddenly rushed over and shouted that the boy had probably escaped toward the east.
00:24By sheer luck, the woman survived the ordeal.
00:26The boy slowly crawled out from the bamboo basket.
00:28The sight of her shattered, blood-soaked leg made him sob so violently his entire body shook.
00:33Fighting through the unbearable pain, the woman gently rubbed his head and whispered.
00:37Then she lifted the bamboo basket, dragging her injured leg as she struggled back home step by step.
00:42Once she made sure nobody had followed her, she finally set the basket down.
00:45Completely exhausted by then, she collapsed onto the floor without warning.
00:49Through tears, the boy knelt before her and thanked her for saving his life.
00:52The woman told him there was no reason to blame himself,
00:54because she already knew those gunmen were Japanese spies.
00:57Her own husband had sacrificed his life for the nation.
00:59There was no way she could watch another child die at Japanese hands.
01:02Soon afterward, the general's housekeeper finally tracked the boy down.
01:06That was when the woman discovered who he really was.
01:08He turned out to be the general's only son.
01:10Assassins had been hired by enemies to wipe out the entire family.
01:13The boy dropped to his knees and repeatedly touted before her.
01:16You saved my life.
01:17From this day forward, you are my godmother.
01:19The baby you're carrying will be my little brother.
01:21One day, I'll repay this kindness, knowing he would only endanger his godmother if he stayed.
01:25The boy tearfully left with a housekeeper, though every step was filled with reluctance.
01:29Watching his figure disappear into the distance, the woman never once thought about being repaid.
01:33All she wished for was for every child trapped in this war to grow up alive and safe.
01:3730 years later, the little boy once hidden inside that bamboo basket had risen to become the general defending northeast
01:43China.
01:43Not once during those years did he forget his godmother, but those chaotic times had been too dangerous.
01:48He feared his identity would bring disaster upon her, so he secretly kept watch over her life from afar.
01:53After becoming a general, the very first thing he did was promote his godmother's son to regimental commander.
01:58He believed that once the war was fully settled, he could finally reunite with his godmother.
02:02But unexpectedly, just three days before he planned to visit her, something terrible happened at her home.
02:07Seeing her son return as a regimental commander, the woman's heart overflowed with emotion.
02:11To her, every sacrifice she had made was finally worth it.
02:14Back in the war years, she had been forced to part from her husband by the chaos of battle.
02:18No matter how painful the separation was, she still chose to support him in fighting the Japanese for the country.
02:23Before he left, she promised she would raise their young son on her own.
02:26Not long after, word arrived that her husband had died in combat.
02:29The news shattered her completely.
02:31Back then, the only thing keeping her alive was the determination to give birth to her child and raise him
02:36into adulthood.
02:36Throughout all those years, she devoted everything she had to raising her son.
02:40Now that he had become a regimental commander, she finally felt comforted.
02:44At least, she had not failed her lay husband.
02:46Without warning, a car suddenly stopped outside the house.
02:48The man stepping out was the husband she had mourned as dead for decades.
02:52Standing beside him was a glamorous young, wealthy woman.
02:54Only then did the truth hit her.
02:56Back then, her husband had faked his death to escape the battlefield.
02:59Afterward, he married the daughter of a chamber of commerce chairman.
03:02Using his father-in-law's influence, he built wealth and status elsewhere.
03:05Now that his son had become a regimental commander, he wanted a rich, respectable woman beside him as his mother.
03:10That was why he had returned this time.
03:12He intended to force the woman into divorce and replace her with a wealthy mistress as lady of the house.
03:16When she refused, the husband slapped her hard across the face before viciously kicking her to the ground.
03:21The moment he noticed the scar on her leg, disgust filled his eyes.
03:24He coldly said he would toss her $10 after the divorce and demanded she sign the papers immediately.
03:29Right then, their son happened to come home.
03:31The woman believed her son would finally defend her.
03:34But long ago, he had already learned his father remarried into wealth.
03:37He even admitted that now he was a regimental commander with status.
03:40Having a crippled mother was humiliating.
03:42Those words nearly made the woman collapse from rage.
03:45She could not believe it.
03:46The son she had sacrificed everything to raise for 30 years, could say something so heartless, seizing the moment.
03:52The rich woman smudly revealed that this entire reunion had actually been arranged by the son himself.
03:56Even after that, the woman still refused to sign the divorce papers.
03:59The husband immediately raised his offer again, as long as she agreed to divorce him today and allowed the son
04:04to recognize the rich woman as his mother.
04:06He would multiply the severance payment by 10.
04:09After hearing that, the woman suddenly laughed.
04:11Keep your filthy little money.
04:12Today, you are not the one abandoning me.
04:14I'm the one divorcing you.
04:15At that same moment, the general who had come to repay his debt of gratitude arrived outside the alley entrance.
04:21The housekeeper hurried over and told him everything that happened inside the house.
04:24The instant he learned that the scumbag had betrayed his godmother, and even joined forces with the son to bully
04:29her, rage exploded inside him without hesitation.
04:32He stormed straight toward his godmother's home.
04:34Meanwhile, after returning inside, the woman personally wrote out the divorce and severance agreement.
04:39From that moment on, she no longer had any connection to either the scumbag husband or the ungrateful son.
04:44Seeing this, the son tried to throw her out of the Shin family home.
04:47The woman coldly reminded them that she had managed the Shin household for the past 20 years.
04:51The real outsiders were the people standing before her.
04:53At that moment, the rich woman quietly reminded the son that the important guests invited to the banquet would arrive
04:58soon, since the woman refused to leave willingly.
05:01She suggested forcing her out instead.
05:03After hearing that suggestion, the son whipped his own biological mother and publicly severed ties with her, never in her
05:08worst nightmare.
05:09Did the woman expect that the husband she had waited for 30 years and the son she had raised with
05:14her own hands would both treat her with such cruelty?
05:16Just as the son lifted the whip once more, the general suddenly burst through the door.
