Chapter 1 — The Lady Refuses to Kiss a Disabled Man, I Choose Him as My Husband

I married a disabled general, who was publicly divorced by my sister in the middle of the main hall. The day we got married, the whole capital was waiting to see me become a laughing stock. My sister also specially ordered someone to bring me a "lowering gift" - a walking stick. She only left one sentence: "Remember to take good care of your husband." My father got angry in the hallway, pointed straight at me and scolded me:

“You have ruined the Su family's face!”

I don't cry. Just quietly guided the man who was abandoned by the whole world, step by step back to the general's palace. No one knew that… Three years later. That man who was called a waste man was wearing battle armor, carrying glorious victories, standing in the middle of Kim Loan Palace. His reputation shocked the court. The Saint personally gave the marriage, wanting to marry my sister as his concubine. Before the eyes of the entire civil and martial court, he knelt down. The voice is quiet but resolute:

“Vi god… in this life, I only need my main wife.”

The whole main hall shook. And my sister... her face was pale. The Great Palace of the Dead is gorgeous and golden, but at this moment it is so quiet that it makes people suffocate. My sister, To Cam Tu, who is known as the first beauty in the capital, is kneeling under the palace, tears falling like pear flowers in the rain.

"Your Majesty, I don't get along well with General Tieu. I'm afraid it will ruin the General's entire life."

“I beg your Majesty to revoke your holy order!”

Her voice was soft and weak, but each word was clear, echoing throughout the main hall. The eyes of the civil and military officials simultaneously turned to the man in the middle of the hall. Tieu Bac Da. The god of war, Dai Thinh, is now just a leisurely general who can no longer control his legs. He sat in a wheelchair, the martial arts robe on his body had been washed until it was discolored, but his spine was still straight. The pain from broken bones made his face pale, but those eyes were still as sharp as cold stars, making others not dare to look straight at him. He did not look at To Cam Tu, just stared intently at the shiny yellow bricks on the ground, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. The emperor's face turned pale. This marriage was given by him, and now To Cam Tu dares to publicly break up the marriage, which is like slapping the face of a supreme man. My father, To Chan Bang, his face was red, he knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's because I didn't teach you strictly. It's because I..."

“That's enough.” The Emperor interrupted coldly.

“To Cam Tu, do you know what the crime of lese majeste is?”

To Cam Tu trembled and cried even more pitifully.

“Your Majesty, please spare my life, I... I just sincerely feel that I am not worthy of General Tieu.”

A soft laugh escaped from Tieu Bac Da's thin lips. He finally raised his eyes to look at To Cam Tu, there was no anger in his eyes, only coldness and a sarcastic smile.

“Miss Su is right.”

“Currently Tieu Mo… is truly just a disabled person.”

"Not worthy of the capital's number one beauty like you."

His words were like a knife stabbing straight into his father's heart. Su family... done. His father's body staggered as if about to fall. I stood in the corner of the palace, quietly watching this scene. Look at your sister's fake face, look at the despair on your father's face. Also look at Tieu Bac Da, that lonely man sitting in a wheelchair abandoned by the whole world. Three months ago, he led the northern army to attack, fell into an ambush, and was hit by dozens of arrows. He had to risk his life to save his life. But what he brought back with him were legs that would never stand up again. The General's Palace, once bustling with people coming in and out, in the blink of an eye became as deserted as Ba Danh Pagoda. But today, even his intended fiancee wanted to leave him. How pitiful. It's also ridiculous. The emperor's patience had obviously reached its limit. He was about to get angry and bring the Su family down into the abyss for eternity. I moved my body slightly, lifted the hem of my skirt, and walked step by step out of the corner of the palace. All eyes are on us. And know that banh-my's song. . Surprised, confused, suspicious. Father widened his eyes even more, using his eyes to warn me not to be rash. I don't look at you. I walked straight in front of Tieu Bac Da, slowly squatted down, looking at his level.

“General.”

My voice is not loud, but it resonates clearly in the quiet main hall. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. I looked at him, word by word, saying clearly:

“How do you see me?”

"No matter who you marry, it's not a wedding!"

"I don't want it, I want it."

The whole main hall was as quiet as paper. Everyone thought I had gone crazy. Father's lips trembled, almost fainting. To Cam Tu looked at me with eyes like he was looking at a fool. Tieu Bac Da was also stunned, the cold layer of ice in his eyes seemed to crack a small crack. My name is To Nguyet Kien. She is the least noticed daughter of the To family. Living under the halo of my sister, like a shadow. But today, I don't want to continue being a shadow anymore. I looked into Tieu Bac Da's eyes and repeated again:

“I am willing to marry you.”

The Emperor was the first to react, as if he had caught the straw that saved his life, his face beamed with admiration.

"Good! Truly a daughter of the To family!"

“To Chan Bang, you gave birth to a good daughter!”

He looked at me, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"If that's the case, I will fulfill it for you."

"To Nguyet Kien, the concubine of the Su family, has dignified conduct and a gentle personality. She specially bestowed the hand of the National Protector General Tieu Bac Da as his wife."

“Three days later, we got married!”

A word of decision. His father fell limply to the ground, his face as gray as ashes. To Cam Tu's crying suddenly stopped, she looked at me in disbelief, as if recognizing me for the first time. As for me, I just quietly looked at the man in front of me. Tieu Bac Da's eyes were complicated and difficult to read. There is surprise, there is investigation, there is still something that we do not understand. He did not say thank you, nor did he refuse. Just look at me deeply. I know, from this moment, my fate and that of this crippled general are completely tied together.
