Chapter 1 — In Birth, I Unmask Tra Nam

In my previous life, Diep Chi Tinh and I fought to the death just to win the position of the team leader's wife. In the end, I was poisoned and died, and she had to go to jail. But the person that team leader Lam really loves is neither of us. That person replaced me and took a stable job at the supply and expenditure department, and also relied on the influence of Diep Chi Tinh's parents to gradually climb up. In the end, she and Lam Vo Dang got married and leisurely enjoyed glory and wealth. At that moment, I woke up - it turned out that both Diep Chi Tinh and I were just pawns being used! Opening my eyes again, I saw Diep Chi Tinh angrily tearing up Lam Vo Dang's photo. I immediately understood – she was also reincarnated!

"Let's cooperate this time? Let's drag that bastard to hell together!"

"I agree! Who told him to dare to be greedy and want all three women at the same time?"

Looking at the familiar face, I finally believed that I had truly come back to life. In my previous life, Diep Chi Tinh and I were both infatuated with Lam Vo Dang, so we constantly fought and harmed each other. After I died, I thought she would get her wish and become the team leader's wife. But unexpectedly, Lam Vo Dang immediately denounced her, causing her to be sentenced to death without any evidence! Diep Chi Tinh's parents were extremely disappointed and decided to devote all family resources to her younger sister - Diep Noan Noan. And only then did I know that it turned out that Diep Noan Noan was the person that Lam Vo Dang truly loved! He arranged for her to replace me in my job at the supply and expenditure department, and also borrowed the influence of Diep Chi Tinh's parents to help her advance step by step. Not long after, from someone who was once considered to have bad political elements, she easily climbed to the position of deputy head of the supervisory board. It turns out, Lam Vo Dang's interactions with me and Diep Chi Tinh were just to take advantage of our power! Everything he does is to pave the way for Diep Noan Noan! Diep Chi Tinh clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

"In this life, we must make this vile couple pay!"

Seeing her so excited, I smiled softly and said:

“But this time, don't use poisoning! It's too easy to detect.”

Diep Chi Tinh blinked, her face full of confusion.

"When did I poison myself? I died unjustly and was also accused of poisoning!"

I was also stunned.

“Could it be that the poisonous chicken soup I drank... wasn't made by you?”

Diep Chi Tinh was startled and excitedly shouted:

"Do you think I'm that stupid? No one would poison another person so stupidly! Even though we are rivals in love, I never wanted you to die!"

“So what is that bowl of chicken soup?”

"It's because that bastard Lam Vo Dang sent me to bring it to you! I understand! He must have poisoned it!"

I'm dumbfounded! No wonder why Lam Vo Dang was in such a hurry to accuse Diep Chi Tinh! Not only because he wanted to quickly welcome Diep Noan Noan back, but also because he was the one who poisoned him! The fire of hatred in my heart flared up strongly. Don't like acting? Then I will let him play the main role until the end!

“That's right, what time is it now?”

Diep Chi Tinh raised his head to look at the sky and slowly said:

“It was when Lam Vo Dang had just been promoted to squad leader.”

I slightly curled his lips.

"He just got promoted, which is his weakest moment! If he starts making mistakes right now, do you think anyone else would dare to stand up to protect him like in the past life?"

Diep Chi Tinh narrowed his eyes and immediately understood.

“My father is still not completely satisfied with him... maybe I should make him hate him even more!”

We looked at each other and said in unison:

“Wait until he is completely isolated, that is when he must die!”

In this life, we will push him to hell together!

Diep Chi Tinh and I discussed for a long time, planning step by step to lure him into a trap. It gradually got dark and we went our separate ways. As soon as I entered the house, a ceramic bowl flew straight towards me. The fragment passed by his face, leaving a small scratch.

"You brat! I told you to please Captain Lam, where did you run off to?"

I lowered my eyes: "Go to work." My mother growled:

"What are you doing? The important thing is to hold on to Captain Lam, then your younger brother will have a chance to join the army, and not have to go to the countryside to suffer!"

"If he hadn't dropped out of school to earn money to take care of you, would you have had a stable job like you have now? Now you have to worry about his way out!"

I got bored listening to these words, so I just quietly closed my eyes. Apparently my younger brother was expelled from school for violating discipline, but in my mother's mouth, he became a sacrifice for me. In my previous life, after I died, the first thing they thought of was not sadness, but regret for having raised me in vain. After that, they even married me off in exchange for five hundred dong! And then they took advantage of my death, begging Lam Vo Dang to give his younger brother a place in the army. In the end, they lived happily, and I was buried in an anonymous grave. In this life, I will no longer sacrifice myself for false love! I will make them all live worse than death! The sky gradually got dark, Diep Chi Tinh and I went our separate ways and went home. As soon as I pushed the door open, a ceramic bowl flew straight towards me. The shard grazed his cheek, leaving a small cut.

"You brat! I told you to wash clothes, cook rice, and please Captain Lam! Where did you run off to?"

I lowered my eyes and said calmly: "Go to work." My mother started nagging incessantly:

"Do, do what you do! Do you see how much money you make? There is no future at all! The most important thing is to hang on to Captain Lam, so your younger brother will have a chance to join the army, and not have to go to the countryside to suffer!"

"If he hadn't dropped out of school early to earn money to take care of you, would you have had a stable job like you have now? Now you have to know what to do and take care of his way out!"

I quietly lowered my eyes, hearing these familiar words and felt extremely disgusted. Apparently my younger brother was expelled from school for not following discipline, but through my mother's words, he became a sacrifice for me. So, no matter what he wants, I have to give it to him, because that's what I owe him. I gave a lot, but never received my parents' love. In my previous life, after I died, the first thing they thought of was not sadness, but regret for raising me in vain. Then they even married me off in exchange for five hundred dong! After that, they took advantage of my death and begged Lam Vo Dang to give my younger brother a place in the army. In the end, they lived happily, and I was just a cold, buried skeleton buried in an anonymous grave. In this life, I will no longer sacrifice myself for this false love! I will make them all live worse than death! I suppressed my emotions and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry mom, I will definitely take good care of my brother."

When my mother heard that, her face softened and she raised her hand to gently tap my forehead.

"You idiot! If Captain Lam refuses to marry you, don't you know how to get pregnant first? As long as you get pregnant, he will definitely marry you!"

I was stunned. In the society of the 60s, being pregnant without being married would be strongly condemned and could even be punished! But my mother didn't mind that at all. I really saw it clearly. They never loved me, so I don't need to compromise anymore! This time, I want them to be unhappy forever! The next day, I took my lunch box as usual and went to Lam Vo Dang's office. On the way, no one stopped, because this scene was too familiar. But the gossip never stopped.

"That little salesgirl is here again! She's stuck with Captain Lam every day, she's truly shameless!"

"Just with her conditions, she still wants to compete with Miss Diep? Don't know how to look in the mirror!"

I've become so used to hearing it that I no longer pay attention. It was clear that Lam Vo Dang intentionally approached and teased me, but in the eyes of outsiders, I became the shameless person who clung to him. In my previous life, I foolishly believed that I was lucky, that I had met a good man. Looking back now, I understand that these rumors were definitely spread by someone on purpose. And that person... is none other than Lam Vo Dang! Rumors are invisible knives! It crushed my self-esteem and made me lose my reason! I suppressed my emotions and walked into his office. Lam Vo Dang didn't even bother to raise his head and calmly ordered:

“Put it there. Dirty clothes are on the sofa, next time change to a different type of soap, last time the smell was so unpleasant.”

I heard his matter-of-fact tone and couldn't help but laugh coldly. After a while, he raised his head to look at me, his face full of confusion.

"What else do you have? I'm very busy these days, I don't have time to go on a date with you!"

I shook my head, clenched my hands so tightly that my nails dug into my skin, squeezing out two tears.

"Chief Lam, today I came to say goodbye. My family has just been assigned a place to do forced labor in the countryside. My mother wants me to quit my job to give that place to my younger brother!"
