Chapter 1 — Headless Bride

The young lady of the Tham family was about to marry into the Tran family as a wife, the whole palace became bustling, with bright lights and torches. But my husband, Tran Hang, is still waiting for me to return home. He tore up the letter of separation that I left behind before leaving, throwing down a sentence: "Hua Minh Nguyet, if you have the courage, don't come back in this life." You still don't know, on the day I left the palace, I died under the knife of Miss Tham. As for Tran Hang - he was the accomplice who helped her destroy my remains.

On the day Miss Tham returned to the capital, I immediately knew that Tran Hang and I had come to an end. Sure enough, the next day, while I was in the study room, he walked in and said directly:

"In one month, Tu Nhi will enter the palace as his wife."

I raised my head to look at Tran Hang, only to see an indifferent, cold look on his face.

“Are you in such a hurry, husband?”

He thought I was unwilling, his eyes looking at me were as cold as ice, without any emotion:

“You and I both owe Tu Nhi too much, even if there are hundreds of thousands of things you don't want, you still have to persevere.”

When he finished speaking, he didn't bother to glance at me anymore, turned around and walked away. It's just that when he reached the door, he turned around and said one more sentence:

"I'm marrying Tu Nhi as an equal wife. There is no difference in status between her and her. In the future, control your personality and don't expect to bully or make things difficult for her."

After being married for so many years, I still can't enter your heart. I put down the thick stack of notebooks, lowered my eyes to hide the tears that had just flowed from the corner of my eyes.

“Okay…”

Tran Hang didn't hear that answer, but if he did, he probably wouldn't have cared. My mother's house has fallen into decline. In this backyard, whether I live or suffer depends on a single "nod" from him. Anyway, I'm about to leave, I don't care who you want to take to bed, who you want to put in your heart.

That year, Tran Hang was the honorary candidate and was personally called by the Saint. When he rode around on horseback at the banquet, I was moved as soon as I saw him. My father then immediately sent a greeting card. In less than a month, the Tran family immediately sent someone to pray for marriage. Everything went smoothly, I was filled with joy and prepared to become a bride. I thought it was a fate given by heaven. Until the day the district commander of Binh Duong district got married, Tran Hang went to the party, came back drunk, and locked himself in the study room. I brought a bowl of hangover soup, but as soon as I reached the door, I saw a painting spread out on the table. Above is the text——

"The one I love, Tham Tu."

The person in the picture is clearly the current wife of Binh Duong district. The bowl of soup fell from my hand. Porcelain shattered and scattered all over the ground. Tran Hang was awakened by the sound and raised his head to look at me. I looked into his eyes, my heart seemed to stop for a beat. Because it's filled with resentment.

“If it wasn't for your father to be Minister, the person Tu Nhi married should have been me!”

He blamed me for taking away his fate. It turns out that the so-called harmony between husband and wife was just my unrequited dream. Tears flowed endlessly, I turned around and ran, my heart broken. But the next day, Tran Hang never mentioned what he said in his drunken state last night. He returned to his old gentle, dignified, and gentle appearance. I tried to dispel the lingering insecurity in my heart. Console yourself that the future still exists long.

Before leaving the palace, I left a signed letter of separation. The separation between me and Tran Hang was never negotiated satisfactorily, he refused to let me leave. He said, Tham Tu had just entered the door. If I did this now, people would think she was narrow-minded and jealous, damaging her reputation. Tran Hang does not agree, I have no other choice. I could only change into light clothes, put on a mask, and quietly leave the palace in the dark of night. Unexpectedly, I caught Tham Tu having an affair with a man outside the city. When the dagger stabbed at me, I panicked and took out the Tran family's jade token - an object that symbolized my identity as the mother of the Tran family.

"I am the wife of Dai Ly Tu Khanh Tran Hang! I am Hua Minh Nguyet!"

I thought they mistook me for someone's maid. I thought that if I just clearly stated my identity, they would let me go. The man was stunned when he heard my words, but the dagger in his hand was snatched by Tham Tu.

“Are you Hua Minh Nguyet?”

Her eyes flashed cruelly, as if she wanted to vent her anger and stab me to death on the spot. When I collapsed in a pool of blood, she was still angry. The blade is close to my face.

“You bold maid, dare to pretend to be the mother of the Hua family.”

After speaking, she fiercely cut a line on my face. A human skin mask was pulled up. As soon as that man saw my face clearly, he immediately fell to the ground, his face pale.

"This... this is indeed Dai Ly Tu Khanh's wife..."

Tham Tu was stunned for a moment, a look of panic flashed across his face. She kicked hard at the man who was shaking like a leaf on the ground:

"If you dare say a word about today's matter, it will be a blessing for your whole family."

The man rolled and crawled and ran away. Tham Tu stared at my bloody body and picked up the dagger. Each stab, each stab into my heart.

"You stole what was mine! You should have died a long time ago!"

Exhausting all her hatred, she placed the mask on my bloody face, then raised her head and left, looking arrogant. Watching her back disappear, the last ray of consciousness within me also disappeared.
