Chapter 1 — I Give Up Everything, Always Give Up My Fiance, Never Give Up My Life

The day my parents welcomed Miss Giang Nhuoc Ninh into the palace, I immediately gave in to Dong Khoa Vien. I give up my status as a righteous young lady in this palace to her. The Institute has been arranged by me. From now on, she can just stay there, and I will move to the manor to stay temporarily. They scolded me for being a stupid, jealous woman, making myself miserable just because of an orphan girl. Even my fiance's words of holding on were coldly ignored by me. Later, I fell ill and died in the manor, and no one came to collect my body. And they rejoiced, taking my heart's blood as medicine for the "good child" they loved with all their hearts. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Giang Nhuoc Ninh first stepped into the palace. This time, I smiled and nodded, just saying that Dong Khoa Vien was already prepared, so you can move in as you please. She wants to be favored, wants a relationship, wants a dowry, I can join my hands and give it all. It's just that in this life, no one can use my life to exchange money for her. My mother, Chu Thi, clutched the embroidered scarf in her hand, a layer of tears appeared at the corner of her eyes, but before she could speak, the familiar sadness, as if I were a heartless and meaningless person, quietly spread throughout the room.

"Dieu Dieu, Giang Nhuoc Ninh's parents passed away so suddenly, she was left alone..."

My father, Tham Nguy, sat next to me, his face darkened, his knuckles tapped on the top of the pear wood table, heavy sounds rang out, as if he was tapping on my coffin.

"Tham Dieu, you have had everything since you were little, but now he only has our family."

"It's just cleaning up the Dong Khoa Institute for her to live in temporarily. If you show this appearance, do you still have a bit of the eldest daughter's temper or not?"

I lowered my eyes, watching the young tea leaves in the tea cup quietly float and sink again. It's this saying. In my previous life, I was tied tightly by those two words "temperance", trying to endure the discomfort in my heart, watching Jiang Nhuoc Ninh move into the Dong Khoa Institute that I personally arranged, the place closest to the main house. I watched her take away everything that belonged to me little by little. Finally, I also saw my beautiful fiance, Ta Doan Hanh, personally inserting the blade into my heart, taking the blood as medicine for her. He said: "Tham Dieu, you have always been generous, since you are willing to give everything to Nhuoc Ninh, then this body and blood, also give up."

"Her body is weak, she must use her heart's blood as a guide to live."

As for my parents, they stood aside, wiping away my tears and gently advising me.

“Dieu Dieu, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, not to mention that it's your cousin... you... just be patient.”

How patient? How is the ring? When the blade penetrates deeply, the coldness is not their heart. Opening my eyes again, I was returned to this exact moment. The pain in my heart being crushed by life seems to still be there, the cold, sticky blood seems to still be spread across my chest. My fingertips suddenly squeezed tightly into my palm, then raised my head, the corners of my lips pulled out a flawless smile.

“Parents are right.”

I spoke, my tone so calm that I even surprised myself. Tham Nguy and Chu Thi obviously did not expect me Reacting like that, the prepared scoldings and moral blows were stuck in their throats, both of them were stunned. I continued to smile, my voice even somewhat gentle and thoughtful.

"My sister's life is pitiful, of course we have to pay more attention."

“Dong Khoa Vien is spacious and bright, close to the main campus, there is no more suitable place.”

"My daughter has already sent someone over there to clean up. She will definitely make her stay comfortable."

The sad expression on Chu's face stiffened, she looked at me suspiciously.

“You… you really think like that.”

"Of course."

I nodded, my smile without a gap.

"Not only the hospital, my cousin just arrived, I'm afraid her clothes and jewelry aren't beautiful enough."

"In my daughter's warehouse, I still have a few newly imported To Duan marble panels, as well as a few newly crafted jewelry sets. I will have someone combine them all later and bring them to my cousin."

"We can't let outsiders laugh at our Shen family for being slow with our relatives."

Tham Nguy's tightly frowning eyebrows finally relaxed, seemingly satisfied with my "general knowledge", but his mouth still followed the habit of blaming.

“Finally, I'm showing off a bit.”
