Chapter 1 — On the day I had a hard time giving birth, my husband hugged my sister and stood admiring the snow

In my previous life, I gave the Yen family's heirloom gold plate to Bui Tich's hands. I am the daughter of the Royal Palace, but for a Dai Ly Tu Thieu Khanh from a cold background like him, I willingly humbled myself and bent my knees. I helped him advance all the way, step by step to the clouds, and finally worshiped the Patriarch, thinking that I could exchange it for a life of harmony between husband and wife, respecting each other as new people, gray hairs as old men. But on the day I went into labor, in order to exchange for a smile from my sister Nguyen Kieu Kieu, he ordered a blockade of the entire palace. Even a midwife wouldn't let her in. I struggled in seemingly endless pain, the blood from my body drained little by little. And he hugged Nguyen Kieu Kieu and stood outside the window, coldly watching me swallow my last breath. His eyes were filled with hatred and pleasure.

"If it weren't for you relying on your family background to force me to get married, why would Kieu Kieu have to endure the humiliation of being an outsider?"

"Yen Thanh Thu, the entire Yen family was beheaded, that is the debt you must pay to Kieu Kieu!"

It wasn't until that moment that I realized that my entire Yen family was forever loyal to me, yet he had colluded with the enemy and falsely framed me! I carry a lot of hatred, I die without closing my eyes. Opening my eyes again, I was back at the wedding ceremony on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. In this life, I will absolutely not repeat the same mistakes. When the Emperor smiled and asked me, among the talented young men throughout the court, was there anyone I was satisfied with? I passed Bui Tich standing in the middle of the main hall, enthusiastic and proud. Then go straight to the corner of the palace, where there is a person sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes covered by white silk. Abandoned Crown Prince in the past. Also the current King of Dinh Nam — Hoac Lan. I knelt down in front of the palace, my voice resounding, every word as clear as a nail.

“Goddess Yen Thanh Thu, please pray for the Emperor to give her marriage to Dinh Nam Vuong!”

The whole main hall was shaken. My father, the Grand Deputy, was so frightened that he dropped the wine cup in his hand.

"Thanh Thu! What are you confused about!"

"Ding Nam Vuong... how can you joke about your life imprisonment?"

The Great Hall immediately fell into dead silence. Who doesn't know, Dinh Nam Vuong Hoac Lan was once the war god of Dai Le. But three years ago, during the battle of Mac Bac, he was ambushed. Blind eyes. Both legs are disabled. From then on, he completely collapsed, becoming a dark, brutal and erratic Dinh Nam Vuong. Even the Royal Physician once asserted that he would not live past the age of twenty-five. And now he is twenty-four years old. The smile on the Emperor's face gradually disappeared.

“Little girl named Yen, do you know what you are saying?”

"Bui Tich is young and talented, has immeasurable future, and has the same heart and soul for you. I originally intended to create a relationship between you two."

I bowed my head heavily.

“The goddess has made up her mind, please pray for the Emperor to fulfill it!”

Finally, Bui Tich could no longer pretend to be calm. He quickly walked to my side, lowered his voice, his tone was filled with annoyance and anger that he was trying to suppress.

“Yen Thanh Thu, have you caused enough trouble?”

“I know because yesterday I took Kieu Kieu to buy a jade brooch and didn't come to my appointment so she's angry."

“But getting married is a big national event.”

"You bring out Dinh Nam Vuong that kind of person... that kind of person to provoke me, you really don't know the weight, don't understand right from wrong!"

Hearing the reproaches that I had heard countless times in my previous life, I just felt extremely nauseous. No matter what we do. In his eyes, everything was just unreasonable trouble. I slowly stood up, coldly looking straight into his eyes.

“Lord Bui, where do you get such confidence, thinking that I will be angry because of you?”

"What do you think is worthy for me to bet my life on a major matter?"

Bui Tich was stunned. It seemed that he completely did not expect that Yen Thanh Thu, who had always obediently listened to him, could say such unsympathetic words in front of civil and martial officials.
