Chapter 1 — Reborn and Surprised the Regent King

I was reborn, reborn and returned on the day of the divine decree of marriage. In my previous life, I chose the young general with whom I grew up, Co Than. I manage the back yard for him, respect his parents for him, and block all the hidden arrows and storms in the light and dark for him. But in the end, when my illness was so severe that medicine could not cure it, he personally brought before me the thing I hated most in this life, a bowl of sweet almonds.

“Nguyet Tri, Linh Vi said this is good for your health.”

My good sister, Tham Linh Vi. She stood right behind him, facing me with a triumphant smile, a smile that seemed to be filled with venom. That bowl of sweet almonds was cooked by myself for Co Than. It was also the last straw that crushed me. The poison penetrates the intestines and destroys the abdomen. I died the third year after becoming married to him. But at this moment, the eunuch who passed the decree was still standing in front of me, asking in a high-pitched voice:

“Miss Shen, Your Majesty bestows grace, Tran Quoc General Co Than and Regent Vuong Phong Quyet, you can choose one person to be your husband.”

The whole hall was silent. All the guests held their breath. Everyone knows that Tran Quoc General Co Than and I are compatible. This marriage is just a matter of His Majesty pushing the boat along and going through the procedures to make it happen for us. Co Than stood in the front row, among the crowd. A body of silver armor. His spirit was burning. In his eyes, he also carried gentleness and confidence that he would definitely achieve what he wanted. He thought that this time I would still be like my previous life, shyly and awkwardly pointing my hand at him. But this time, I raised my hand again. Go past him. Firmly pointing towards the man standing opposite, next to Co Than. He was wearing a royal black robe. The spirit is cold. Rumor has it that he is a bloodthirsty tyrant who kills without blinking an eye.

“I choose the Regent King, Phong Quyet.”

The words just ended. The entire hall immediately shook... The smile on Co Than's face instantly froze. He looked at me in disbelief. It's like today I met you for the first time. And Phong Quyet. That man is a man of power and authority. In his deep eyes suddenly flashed a flash of surprise that was extremely difficult to detect. But very quickly he regained his calmness like the water surface of an ancient well without any ripples. He didn't even bother to look at me once. Just faintly replied to the eunuch: In everyone's eyes, I have gone crazy. Ignore the young general who is as brilliant as the moon and wind. He was determined to choose a man who had a bad reputation everywhere. Only we ourselves can understand clearly. I'm about to die. Exactly like the previous life. This tuberculosis disease soon penetrated deep into the bones. Medicines are useless. Famous doctors are helpless. We don't have much time left. I don't want to continue talking about love. I just want to drag that male and female dog couple down to hell before I die. But Phong Quyet. It's the sharpest sword I can find. Our choice is like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake. In the blink of an eye, thousands of layers of huge waves arose. Father and mother immediately called me to the study room. The mother's eyes were red.

"Nguyet Tri, are you confused? What kind of character is Prince Regent? He kills decisively and has cruel methods. If you marry there, how can you live your days in peace?"

His father's face was also extremely serious.

"Is there anything bad about that child Co Than? We both grew up together since childhood, so we can see clearly what kind of character he has."

I looked at their worried faces. My heart felt strangely calm. Previous life. They also said the same. They said Co Than had noble dignity and was a person worth entrusting for the rest of his life. But the good person in their eyes stood by and watched as I was oppressed and tortured in every way by Tham Linh Vi. In the end, he even became her accomplice.
