After Terminal Diagnosis: Taking My Son to Ancient Times to Claim the Heirless Regent

share time: 2025-10-22 00:37:01

Su Wan is diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and her only concern is Xiao An, her newly adopted autistic son. Accidentally activating a family heirloom jade pendant, she travels back to ancient times—only to discover a shocking truth: Xiao An is the long-lost son of Gu Yan, the imperial regent who lost his only heir to political framing and has since become a cold, unfeeling “living阎王 (Yama, god of death).” To secure Xiao An’s future, Su Wan musters the courage to break into the Regent’s Mansion to “claim kinship,” but Gu Yan labels her a “greedy fraud” and subjects her to constant suspicion: sending spies to tail her, pouring cold water on her “proof of paternity.” However, as they spend time together, Xiao An slowly opens up to Gu Yan (even calling him “Daddy” for the first time), and Gu Yan’s icy heart thaws—secretly making tonic soup for Su Wan, carving wooden tops for Xiao An. Just as their relationship warms, Su Wan’s cancer flares up… but Gu Yan pulls out an ancient jade carved with “Su Wan” — had he dreamed of her from across time long ago? This farce of “bringing a child to find Dad” hides a mutual redemption across dimensions: she seeks a father for her son, and he finds the will to live for her.
