Chapter 1 — My sister wore my robe and married into the royal palace, but in less than a stick of incense, she was sent back.

I woke up in the firewood room. My head felt heavy and dizzy as if it were about to split, and the bitter taste of the medicine still remained in my mouth. Outside, gongs and gongs resounded in the sky, trumpets and drums were bustling incessantly, indicating that the wedding reception team had arrived. I struggled to prop myself up and sit up, only to discover that the robe on my body had been stripped off, leaving only a white robe left. Outside the door there was the sound of people talking.

"The royal palace's palanquin has arrived! Quick, help Second Miss onto the palanquin!"

Second Miss? My pupils suddenly constricted, my eyes widened. Today is my big wedding day. I am the daughter of the Viceroy of the Grand Palace, Tham Thanh Yeu, who was given a royal decree to marry Tuc Vuong Chu Thua Uyen. Second Miss Tham Thanh Man is just a concubine born to Concubine Lieu Thi. How did she get to sit on my palanquin? I rushed to the door, desperately banging on the wooden door.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

No one responded. The sound of trumpets became more and more resounding, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening. I heard Lieu Thi's voice, not far away.

"Good child, from today you are the Princess. Remember, you are the daughter of the Tham Palace. No matter who asks, you must not reveal any loopholes."

“I know, mother.”

That is Tham Thanh Man's voice. Soft and sweet, but unable to hide the surging satisfaction.

"Sister's body is so sick and weak, even if she marries there, she will only be cold and estranged."

"It's better to let my daughter enjoy the happiness."

I clenched my fist. It turns out that from the beginning, what they were aiming for was this. The story must be from three months ago. The day the marriage edict was transmitted to the Royal Palace, I was in the small Buddha hall burning incense for my mother.

"The Emperor's edict: Grand Deputy Tham Minh Duc has taught his daughter in a methodical manner, and now specially gives the marriage of the daughter of the surname Tham to Tuc Vuong Chu Thua Uyen, choosing an auspicious day and month to get married."

As soon as this holy edict was spread, it immediately caused a stir throughout the capital. Tuc Vuong Chu Thua Uyen is the younger brother of the reigning Saint. He holds military power in his hands, glorious victories, and illustrious reputation. Rumor has it that he has a cold and strict personality and is decisive in killing. On the battlefield, under his sword, no one was left alive. The ladies in the capital secretly gossiped behind their backs. People say Tuc Vuong is invincible. No one dares to marry him. But I'm not afraid. Marrying someone is not marriage? At least it's better than continuing to stay in this Viceroy's palace, being trampled underfoot by Mrs. Lieu and Tham Thanh Man every day. My mother is my father's main house. Come from a famous background. Understand etiquette. Know how to take exams. It's a pity that the red beauty is doomed. After giving birth to me, my mother's body was always weak and sick. When I was eight years old, he passed away. Less than a year after his mother passed away, his father raised his aunt Lieu Thi to the position of main wife, becoming the current wife of the Royal Palace. Since then, my life in the government has become increasingly difficult. Premise was mutilated. Servants were harshly oppressed. Every day I have to listen to cold sarcasm. Those things don't count for me. What chills me the most is my father's attitude. He became more and more distant towards me. What to say about Lieu Thi? listen. To Tham Thanh Man, he was extremely loving and pampered. It seemed he had forgotten. I am your true love. I am the flesh and blood born from you and the main seven. After the decree of marriage was issued, Lieu Thi's attitude suddenly changed. She began to ask kindly. Take care of us in all sorts of ways. Take it upon yourself to take care of my dowry. He even made an exception and gave me a lot of precious jewelry. I know she doesn't have good intentions. But we didn't expect that. Her heart could be so cruel. Three days before the big wedding. Mrs. Lieu held a party to see me off.
