Chapter 1 — On the day of the update, Jia Thien Kim rushed in and stole my marriage decree

The day I arrived, Tham Canh Xuan rushed straight into the palace and blocked me right outside the door.

"I'm the Queen's daughter. You're just a lowly bastard. How can you take my life away from me?"

Later, when the decree decreed the marriage, she used a blood-soaked trick to identify herself, wanting to turn me into a fake genius whose identity was obtained through private means. If it were before, I would definitely embrace my shame and endure everything. But unfortunately, I was reborn. In this life, I directly tore off her mask of deception: "Your Majesty? Are you worthy?"

"Only a little blood to identify myself can prove my identity!"

The words that entered my ears made my whole body tremble. The painful feeling as if the skin was burned by fire was still there, but in front of the eyes was no longer the burning street, but the main hall of the Viceroy's palace. I was reborn, reborn on the day Tham Canh Xuan stormed into the Thai Deputy's palace, turning my life upside down. Seeing that the public servant only looked awkward, I rubbed my sore knee, slowly stood up, and from the corner of my eye glanced at Tham Canh Xuan who was aggressively rushing in.

“You are just a lowly bastard, stealing my identity, and yet you still dare to stand here and pretend to accept the decree, truly shameless, self-degrading!”

Those disrespectful insults almost wanted to trample me into the ground. But I no longer have the surprise and amazement like in my previous life. I didn't pay attention to Tham Canh Xuan who was proudly pompous in front of me. I just slightly curled the corners of my lips, almost imperceptibly, then turned around and bowed slightly to pay respects to the monks transmitting instructions.

“Please forgive me, our Shen family did not welcome us properly, so we let this person barge in.”

I bowed softly, the corners of my lips still holding a faint smile.

“Miss Shen is truly well-mannered, intelligent and gentle.”

This is all thanks to the teachings of my father, Tham Uyen. In order to cling to power and compete for power, my father from a young age made extremely strict demands on me. Piano, chess, writing, painting must all be mastered, women's training must be memorized, even our diet is strictly controlled. In my previous life, even though Tham Canh Xuan became the Queen's wife, my reputation was damaged. But my father still couldn't bear to give up the last bit of my remaining value, so according to Tham Canh Xuan's suggestion, he married me to an old prince with a cruel temper. In this life, I will absolutely not let Tham Canh Xuan get what he wants!

"This... young lady, do you think my Deputy's palace is a market?"

I adjusted the almost invisible wrinkles on my clothes, my eyes sharp:

“If anyone can break into someone else's palace and claim to be the daughter of a royal official, then where is the order in this world?”

"The blood of the Tham family, how can a woman of unknown status like you be slandered and defamed by just a few empty words?"

Seeing that I was not at all confused, and even refuted without reason, a trace of impatience flashed in Tham Canh Xuan's eyes. Immediately after that, she changed to another way, her eyes turned red, tears immediately fell.

"Father, since I was a child, I have been harmed by vile people. I cannot be filial and respectful under your pillow. Now I have to watch helplessly as others impersonate me." Your daughter... how can I rest assured?

Seeing that situation, my father had to step out and speak. He looked at me reprimanded.

"Minh Yen, right now everything is not clear. You have forced people so aggressively, do you still have half the education of a noble lady?!"

But when he turned his head to look at Tham Canh Xuan, his eyes were filled with pity. That contrast immediately made Tham Canh Xuan more courageous. She raised her head, cold eyes, and glared at me fiercely.

"You tried to avoid everything and refused to shed blood to prove your identity, isn't it because of guilt?"

"Poor me for wandering around without a place to rely on for so many years... to finally stand in front of my biological parents and still have to be treated like that, I'd rather just die!"

Tham Canh Xuan's turnaround speed truly makes me admire him.
