Chapter 1 — Chi Thuong Citadel

Verdict: When Ta Dien used an arrow to shoot through my chest, I never hated him. Because the marriage between me and him was originally won by me. He fell in love with his cousin. And I forced a kiss in front of so many people. "Ta Dien, the person who had a childhood engagement agreement with you is me. You can only marry me, absolutely not disobeying!" In the years that followed, he and I were as respectful as new. Not salty, not bland, but still considered as desired. Until Northern Nhung invaded. They captured me and my cousin and tied them up to the city gate, forcing him to choose one person. Ta Dien did not hesitate to draw the bow, the arrow pointed straight at me. "Lady Do, you should have put your life on the line." Open your eyes again. I returned when I was sixteen years old. My father was angry because I forced him to kiss me in front of everyone, humiliating the family. He locked me in the street, kicking me down with sticks and sticks. "Why are you always so aggressive? Even your sister still refuses to give in even a little bit?" I swallowed the words I was about to refute. "I won't fight with her anymore." "Please, father, choose another marriage for me."… The expression on my father's face momentarily stiffened. No wonder he was surprised. Since childhood, I have been stubborn and stubborn, and have never bowed my head easily. He also fell in love with Ta Dien for many years. He didn't even hesitate to become the laughingstock of the world, but was determined to force him to get married in front of everyone. No one could have imagined that at this moment I would give up. But my father's face still did not soften. "What's the use of regretting now? You've pushed Ta Dien to a position where you can't back down. If he doesn't marry you, where will the dignity of our two families be?" A feeling of helplessness arose in my heart. Why did God deliberately let me be reborn at this exact moment? Just one day sooner... I definitely won't force him to get married anymore. The remaining pain in my chest is still clear. In a panic, I felt like I was back at the city gate that day. The cold wind stings my face. But Ta Dien's eyes were even colder. The Bac Nhung people used broken Chinese, forcing Ta Dien to choose between me and my sister. Choose one person. The remaining person will have to die. If you don't choose... Then you both have to die. It's exactly what my father said. I am inherently an aggressive person. At that moment, I wanted to step forward and tell Ta Dien that... He should choose me. I am his wife. I have loved him for many years. I followed him to his inauguration, changed my personality, and devoted myself to being the Captain's wife. What's more... I still have his flesh and bones in my belly, it's been three months. He can only choose me. But... I haven't had time to step forward yet. I saw Ta Dien draw the bow. Arrowhead... Pointing straight at me. He seemed to have used up all his strength, his eyes were red, his knuckles were clenched so tightly on the bow's body that they turned white. But... Without even a moment's hesitation. "Dedicate yourself to success." Those four words... Ended my entire life. Come back to your senses. I tried to keep my trembling body calm. There was a decision in my heart. "The Crown Prince and his cousin were mutually in love. If the big wedding day comes, let his cousin marry the Crown Prince on my behalf..." "He will definitely be extremely happy, he will absolutely not refuse."... Early the next morning. The carriage of Dinh Quoc Cong's palace arrived on time as always. Just like before, every day Ta Dien came to pick me and my sister up to the library. The car curtain was lifted to one corner. The young man in front of him had bright eyebrows and bright eyes, an arrogant demeanor, and was full of courage. Truly, he is the most prominent young man in the capital. In my previous life, Ta Dien and I got married five years ago. At that time, he had already shed the immaturity of his youth and became more calm

so many. Now seeing him again from my youth... It feels like a lifetime ago. I was just lost for a moment. His slightly teasing voice rang out in my ear. "Usually, don't you like sitting next to me the most? What are you so dumbfounded about today?" My thoughts were immediately pulled back to reality. I looked at Ta Dien and bowed my head slightly. "There's no need." "Today I'll ride the palace carriage." "The prince and his cousin should go first." I don't know if I saw wrong or not. Ta Dien's hand that was gently tapping on the window sill suddenly stopped when he heard the words "The Prince". Even her sister standing next to her was a bit surprised. "It's up to you." Ta Dien turned to look at her sister. "A Chi, let's go." "She won't fight with you anymore." Watching the two people leave. I can't help but wonder. Could it be... All these years have I really been stealing Duong Chi's things? Are not. Not. The day she came to take refuge in my palace. Actually, I love her very much. Obviously two years older than me. Yet his body was even thinner than mine, so thin that he was only skin and bones. My father and mother both told me. Be sure to treat her well. Duong Chi's mother is related to my mother. Her father was a hero who died for his country. After he passed away. Concubines wander everywhere. Until he was found... Only Duong Chi was left. For the daughter of a martyred hero to have to live to such a degree... It truly makes others unhappy. I understand. So every time I get something new, The first person I think of is always Duong Chi. But gradually... Everything changed. Lunar New Year that year. Ta Dien shot the first prize. Duong Chi only said one sentence: "I have never seen such a beautiful lamp." So the crab-shaped lamp that originally belonged to me... changed direction again and was given to her. Ta Dien indifferently said: "She lacks good things, why should we compete with her?" Father had just acquired a fox fur coat. The light blue color is extremely beautiful. I love it so much I can't bear to let it go. Yet the next day. That shirt was worn on Duong Chi's body. My father also blamed me for being too petty. "Ah, my body is weak, not as strong as yours. Why are you fighting with it?" I felt uncomfortable in my heart. But we can only be patient. General Tang is a hero and has a life-and-death relationship with my father. He was once Ta Dien's martial arts master. It's understandable that people treat Duong Chi a little more closely. Until... Father proposed to give my marriage to Duong Chi. Even my mother said: "A Chi has a pitiful life, it's not like you have the whole family backing you. With such a good marriage, you still have a chance in the future, why do you have to fight with it?" My heart was filled with self-pity. It's clear that they always force us to give in. Why... Do you keep saying that I'm fighting with Duong Chi? "Her previous hardships were not caused by me!" That day. Father slapped me fiercely. That's why... I was forced to kiss in front of everyone. Luckily... God let me live again. This life. I will no longer live a life of compulsion like before. … The next half month passed peacefully. Until my father called me to his study. I know my marriage must have worked. That day in the palace, after I proposed to let my sister marry me, the first person to object was my mother. "No way! If I let A Chi impersonate Anh So marry into Quoc Cong's palace, then what will happen to Anh So's marriage in the future?" I don't see that as a big deal. "Even if I have to become a monk and be friends with Thanh Dang for the rest of my life, I'm still willing."
