Chapter 1 — The Emperor Trach Men Because Of Women Traveling Through Time And Discarding The Empress, Who Would Have Thought That The Whole Harem Were Fellow Countrymen

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

The emperor wants to abolish me because of a woman who is a time traveler. But he doesn't know this whole harem, everyone is like her. He said she understands the world's world, understands things ordinary people don't understand, and I am just an old-fashioned queen bound by propriety. After listening, I didn't cry or make a fuss, just calmly replied: On that very day, I removed my phoenix seal and moved into the cold palace. Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, all the concubines in the harem simultaneously asked for demotion. People hugging blankets and cushions. The person carrying the noble chair. People also conveniently carry melon seeds, roasted peanuts, and phonemes. The palace, which was originally cold and desolate, suddenly became as bustling as a fair. Concubine Thuc crossed her legs on the beauty chair, biting a melon seed while glancing at the new queen standing dumbfounded outside the palace door, the corners of her lips curled meaningfully:

“Isn't it so terrible if you can't get through?”

She laughed.

“In this harem… everyone is a time traveler.”

Tieu Dien Chi returned together. Before the carriage entered the palace gate, the news had already reached my Truong Lac palace. It is said that he brought back a woman from Tay Canh. He carries her with him wherever he goes, wishing he could tie her to his waist. I was sitting drinking tea when Bich Lac rushed in, almost tripping over the threshold.

"Master! His Majesty is here! He's also bringing that woman!"

Before he finished speaking, Tieu Dien Chi strode into the main hall. Behind him was a woman dressed strangely, her clothes were thin and tightly tailored, revealing half of her arm, her face full of curiosity looking around at the decorations in the palace. Tieu Dien Chi stopped walking, held the woman's hand, and looked at me with a solemn expression.

“Chieu Ninh, I want to make her queen.”

My hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, then immediately put the cup down. No questioning, no hesitation. Obviously Tieu Dien Chi did not expect me to respond so decisively, he was stunned for a moment before continuing to speak:

"Her name is Lam Nhuoc Tinh, she is a person who traveled from several hundred years later, has great talent, and can help me rule the world."

I nodded. Through space. We are really familiar with this word. Because I am also the one who came here from time to time, and I have lived two lives. In my previous life, I was surrounded by emotions and died without clarity. This life is alive again, the sweet words of men, in my ears, are no different than chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name. To me, this position of queen is nothing more than a housekeeper. Living comfortably is more important than anything else.

“What rank do you intend to give Miss Lam?”

Tieu Dien Chi did not answer directly, instead turned to look at Lam Nhuoc Tinh, then looked at me.

“Chieu Ninh, Nhuoc Tinh once told me that in her era, people valued monogamy.”

“I promised her, in this life she is alone.”

“I know this has caused you a loss, but you have always been understanding, I will definitely make it up to you.”

I slightly lifted my eyelids, looking at him from top to bottom.

“So your majesty means that you want me to cede the throne to Miss Lam.”

"I don't want Nhuoc Tinh to suffer resentment."

When he said these words, his eyes were so gentle that it was as if the person standing in front of him was the love that had been engraved in his heart all his life. How ridiculous laugh. Three years ago, the day he ascended the throne, he also looked at me with those eyes.

“Chieu Ninh, wait for me to sit firmly in the mountains, I will take you to see the sunset in the Western Landscape.”

Now the sunset is nowhere to be seen, on the contrary, it brought back a woman from Tay Canh.

“Your Majesty, have you really thought this through?”

I asked again. Tieu Dien Chi's face showed some impatience. On the contrary, Lam Nhuoc Tinh was the first to speak. She took a step forward, looking naturally generous, smiling brightly at me.

"Don't worry, sister. After I become queen, I will definitely take good care of the sisters in the harem."

"I don't come here to compete with others for affection, my goal is to help Dien Chi build an unprecedented prosperity."

"You are ancient women so you don't understand. In our time, women can be leaders, do scientific research, and can even fly into space."

She confidently puffed out her chest.

“I am a modern person with a high level of education, managing a harem is just a small matter.”

Having finished speaking, I did not forget to add one more sentence:

"So you don't have to be embarrassed, just hand over the throne to me and everyone will be relieved."

On the contrary, I began to feel interested, raised my tea cup and took another sip.

“Miss Lam really has great ambition.”

Hearing the compliment, Lam Nhuoc Tinh's chin lifted even higher.

"That's natural. After all, I've studied more than ten years of history, politics, and economics. Bringing that knowledge to your dynasty would be a terrible attack."

She glanced at me again.

"Unlike you guys, you only know how to fight for favors in the harem all day."

Tieu Dien Chi, standing next to him, heard that and nodded continuously.
