Chapter 1 — Phung Hac has a lifetime of deception, Tieu Minh Han has a lifetime of protection

The night before the departure date, the little master of the Tran Quoc Marquis Palace climbed the wall and broke into the princess's residence, asking me if I wanted to run away with him. I looked at his bright eyes, and the words from that year appeared in my mind:

"A proper wedding is a wife, running away... is just a concubine."

Then I remembered what maid Lieu Nhu Nhi said before I died.

"If you have a proper princess status, you won't do it. If you have the high position of Queen Mac Bac, you won't keep it..."

“Intentionally doing the exterior of a marquis.”

“That is both stupid and despicable.”

Spending a lifetime betting on the true heart of a young man... Resigned to being deceived, becoming an outsider who can't show his face. Causing Mac Bac and Dai Wei to turn from harmony into confrontation. In return, my father was pierced through the heart with thousands of arrows, my mother-in-law committed suicide, and I was stabbed to death by knife after knife. Truly both stupid... And despicable. So this time... I won't bet anymore. I have been murdered. Died on his eighteenth birthday. My husband, Phung Hach Lien, colluded with the Phung family and Nam Cuong, responded internally and externally, launched a palace uprising, and the army approached the capital. My father personally led the army to the death, was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows and died. After his death, his head was hung high on the city wall. My younger brother, who only knew how to recite poetry and draw pictures, also put on armor and went into battle. He died in battle, his bones are gone. My mother-in-law took the concubines in her harem and all committed suicide. He hugged Concubine Lieu Nhu Nhi and laughed and teased, each of my fingers was cut off by him, blood was pouring out, staining the pure white snow under the peach blossom tree red.

"So Thanh Hoang, haven't you always been so noble? Why did you fall into such a miserable situation?"

"If you don't have the proper status of a princess, you don't have the high position of Queen Mac Bac at the top and you don't keep it, but you deliberately act as the exterior of a marquis, it's so stupid and despicable."

The dagger blade sliced my body open one by one, ripping out my heart and disemboweling me, my blood flowing until it froze. Until I die, I still cannot close my eyes. The Taoist said that I was a lonely star. When I was alive, I fought with my dead parents. When I died, my resentment was too heavy and I could even harm others. To pray for peace, he followed the Taoist's suggestion, placed a talisman at the place where the bones were buried, and called seven monks to take turns chanting for seventy-seven forty-nine days. Causes me to never be reborn. I was startled and opened my eyes. This is my Chieu Duong hall, in the hall I still burn my favorite kind of incense.

"Your Highness is awake? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Maid Lam Lang tied her hair in two small buns and blinked her big round eyes at me. The remaining maid was Luu Ly, holding a cup of Dong Dinh Vu Lo that had just been mixed in her hand, and slowly walked forward. These are the two closest maids by my side, following me since childhood, absolutely loyal. In the previous life, both of them were made into stagnant people by Liu Nhu Nhi in order to protect me. Now that we meet again, it's like a lifetime apart. I suddenly sat up and pressed hard on my palm. I have been reborn. He was reborn at the age of fifteen, right before leaving to join his family in Mac Bac.

“Thanh Hoang, follow me, I will take you away from this place, run far away, stay far away That Mac Bac eats people but doesn't spit out bones."

I looked at Phung Hach's bright eyes, and his words from his previous life echoed in my head:

"A proper marriage is a wife, running away is just a concubine."

At that time, he was not yet someone who colluded with foreigners and caused chaos in the royal palace. He is just a little marquis of the Tran Quoc Marquis Palace. The day I encountered a horse accident in the big market and was saved by him, I saw Phung Hach for the first time. He was dressed in white, had a tall and long body, and was as elegant as jade, making me dizzy. I was immersed in his sweet words, guided by his nose every step of the way. Lead the wolf into the house. Exposed of national secrets. Ultimately leading to a huge disaster.

"Thanh Hoang, let's secretly leave when it's dark. I'll give you all the freedom you want, no one will find out."
