Chapter 1 — Back to the Day of the Queen Mother's Marriage, This Time I Repented on the Spot, the Dowager was stunned

In my previous life, the Queen Mother gave me a marriage proposal, and I married the Grand Deputy Tham Nghien Chi. He is cold and noble, everyone in the world says I have blessings as great as heaven. But on the wedding night, he didn't even enter the wedding room, he only asked his maid to pass on a sentence:

"This official and his wife, respect each other like new."

I did not believe in evil, so for three years I bowed my head and served him. In return, he personally sent me to prison, forcing me to bear the crime for the white moon light in his heart. Before his execution, he didn't even come to look at me once. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the flower reward party that year. The Queen Mother smiled and slowly opened her mouth:

“The young and talented Deputy Tham Thai is a perfect match for you…”

Before the words were finished, I fell to the ground with a thud, tears streaming down my face:

"The Queen Mother, I love Marquis Vinh Xuong in my heart. In this life, I will never marry anyone else except him!"

Tham Nghien Chi's face immediately turned pale:

“What did you say?”

I have died once. On the day of the execution, it rained, and the pile of straw in the prison was soaked in water until it smelled bad. The sound of the executioner sharpening his knife came from outside the wall, sound by sound, as if he was grinding every bone in his body. I waited all night. Wait for Tham Nghien Chi to arrive. He didn't come. Next, is the execution order. The moment the blade slashed down, I opened my eyes wide and looked at the dim gray sky above, thinking in my heart - I served him for three years, not even death could change a single look from him. Opening my eyes again, the whole flower garden was so bright that it made my mind dizzy. Peonies, dahlias, begonias, cluster after cluster crowded next to the fake paint, the smell of lipstick mixed with the sweet scent of flowers, so suffocating that it almost made people unable to breathe. I stood in the middle of the crowd at the banquet, enjoying flowers, my palms were sweaty. Next to me, someone gently pulled my sleeve:

"Why is your face so pale? The Queen Mother hasn't opened her mouth yet, what are you so nervous about?"

I didn't answer, my eyes just stared at the chair covered with bright yellow brocade in front of me. The Queen Mother sat above, smiling and chatting with her mother next to her. I recognize this scene. In my previous life, it was here that the Queen Mother opened her mouth and gave me a kiss to Tham Nghien Chi. At that time, I was both happy and scared. When I knelt down to give thanks, my knees were shaking non-stop. Tham Nghien Chi stood next to the row of officials, his face expressionless, not even his eyelids raised once. I thought he just had a cold personality. Only later did I realize that his heart was never placed on someone else. From start to finish, there has never been a single day.

"I see that the young master Tham Thai is talented and virtuous, and is a perfect match for you..."

The Queen Mother opened her mouth. Same words as the previous life, same tone as the previous life, even the pauses are not half different. The blood in the body immediately rushed to the head. In my previous life, after those words fell, I knelt down to give thanks, and from there entered prison, which lasted for three years. But in this life... I knelt down hard on the ground, my knee hitting the blue tile floor, making a loud sound, causing the ladies standing nearby to startle and panic.

“The Queen Mother!”

My voice trembles, But every single word is bitten by me very tightly.

"This goddess loves Marquis Vinh Xuong, she will never marry him other than him in this life!"

The sound throughout the garden was as if someone had muffled it in an instant. No one was looking at the flowers anymore, no one was drinking tea anymore, even the wind seemed to stop for a moment. All eyes swept forward at the same time, piercing him until his spine went numb. The tea cup in the Queen Mother's hand stopped in mid-air, her smile stiffened on her face. I didn't dare raise my head, but out of the corner of my eye I could still see the movement next to the row of officials. Tham Nghien Chi turned his head to look this way. In his previous life, when we kissed, he didn't even lift his eyelids to look at me once. In this life, I refused to kiss him, but he refused to look at me.

“What did you say?”

His voice came from the other side of the crowd, neither high nor low, deliberately keeping the tone low, like a basin of cold water suddenly thrown directly into a pan of boiling oil. I raised my head. Separated from the whole garden, separated from the peonies and dahlias, we see Tham Nghien Chi's face.
