Chapter 1 — I am the Fourth Thien Co

I am the Fourth Thien Co Female. The three people who traveled through space before me all died. The first person saved 170,000 people from the flood, but eventually fell from a building and lost his life. The second person filled Dai Zhou's national treasury several times over, and eventually died of serious illness. The third person helped Ninh Vuong win the battle on the border, and was ultimately charged with the crime of being an enemy. But today, I am the fourth person. When I woke up in the secret room of Ninh Vuong Palace, there was a cold blade on my neck. Tieu Lam Uyen sat in front of me, behind him were those three paintings. He looked at me for a long time then asked:

“What do you know how to make?”

I don't answer. Because we just saw that behind the first painting, a corner of the paper was exposed. There were only a few words written on it:

“Sister, if you saw this letter, you would probably be gone.”

“Don't trust anyone.”

At that moment, I suddenly understood something. Those three sisters are not unlucky. Those sisters discovered a secret, a secret enough to make them unable to return. When we open our eyes, the first thing we see is not light. It's a blade. The cold blade is placed right in front of my neck. If I just moved a little more, the skin on my neck could feel the sharp cold air coming from me. I immediately stopped breathing. A low voice rang out from the front. I slowly raised my head. The person sitting opposite was a man wearing a black long robe. He sits in a wheelchair. His face was pale. Extremely outstanding appearance. But what attracts others' attention is not that face. It's the atmosphere. The kind of aura that makes people know at a glance that he is more used to giving orders than listening to others. Tieu Lam Uyen. Ninh Vuong Dai Chu. The god of war once made neighboring countries afraid of him. Strange memories quickly appeared in my head. I have gone through space. Traveling to a completely strange dynasty. Before I could digest all those chaotic memories, my eyes were attracted to the thing behind Tieu Lam Uyen. On the stone wall behind him hung three paintings. Three young faces. The first picture is of a woman wearing a light blue dress. The corners of the lips show a gentle smile. Below the picture is a line of text. Co Thanh Hoa. He saved seventeen thousand people from the flood. Falling from a building and losing one's life. I paused slightly. His eyes continued to move to the second picture. The woman in the painting is wearing a red dress. Bright like the sun. Below the painting is written: Thuong Minh Chau. Founder of the first silver brand of Great Zhou. People helping the national treasury increased several times. Severe illness and death. My fingers suddenly tightened. We look at the last picture. Ky Truong Anh. The woman wears a battle robe. Sharp eyes. The founder of military medicine. The person who helped pacify Tay Canh. Charged with being an enemy. I stared at the three paintings. A cold feeling slowly crawled up my spine. If only one person had the problem. That could be misfortune. If you two encounter something. That could be a coincidence. But all three of them are like that. It's no longer a coincidence. Right then. A memory that does not belong to me suddenly appeared. Thien Co Nu. The three people in the painting were once Thien Co Nu. Just like me. They are all people from another world. I suddenly understood. Three people before me. They are all time travellers. Is the fourth person. My heart immediately sank. The person holding the knife next to him saw me lost and coldly shouted:

“Raise your head and answer the King.”

I am complete. Only then did I discover Tieu Lam Uyen is looking at me. His eyes were very deep. It's like wanting to see through our skin to see all the secrets in our heads. A while later. He just opened his mouth.

“What do you know how to make?”

I'm silent. Countless thoughts flashed through my head. If I say I know. Will I become the next person on that wall? If I say I don't know. Is it possible to survive? We look at three paintings. A person who saves people. A person who earns money. Someone who helps fight battles. All three are helpful. All three people did not have a good ending. That moment. I suddenly understood something. Maybe in this place. Being useful is the greatest sin. Tieu Lam Uyen is still waiting for an answer. The secret room was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of breathing. I'm about to open my mouth. Suddenly. My eyes stopped behind the first painting. Behind Co Thanh Hoa's shoulder. Something came out. Just a very small corner. If you don't look closely, it's almost impossible to detect. But we still recognize it. That's not a crack in the wall. It's a corner of paper. A corner of paper is hidden behind the painting. My heart suddenly pounded. Don't understand why. I have a feeling. What is hidden behind that painting. Perhaps that is the real secret that the other three left behind.
