Chapter 2 — The Twin Sisters Pretend to Be My Queen

Since childhood, my mother has always forced me, no matter what, to yield to Tan Kieu Kieu. As long as it's something that Tan Kieu Kieu likes, I'm not even allowed to touch it. After growing up, Tan Kieu Kieu not only had a sweet tongue and knew how to make others happy, but also excelled in piano, chess, writing, painting, all subjects, so she was loved and pampered by her mother. As for me, I have no interest in those things. Since childhood, I only liked sword dancing, practicing swords, riding horses, and practicing martial arts. Mother felt that I had disgraced her and made her ashamed of herself in front of outsiders, so even the little motherly love she originally had for me, she completely transferred it to Tan Kieu Kieu. Her mother cherished Tan Kieu Kieu like a pearl, cherished her like a precious treasure in the palm of her hand, and almost always responded to all her requests, never refusing. And when facing me, besides hitting and scolding, I never had a gentle face. I also tried to learn from Tan Kieu Kieu, learn how to please my mother, hoping to exchange a little of her love. However, the more I tried to please her, the deeper my mother's dislike for me became. After that, I no longer proactively approached my mother and Tan Kieu Kieu, I just tried my best to make myself invisible in the palace, so that no one would notice my existence. In my previous life, after my mother learned that the person who was given the decree to be Queen was me, she repeatedly asked the eunuch who passed the decree to see if he had given the decree to the wrong person or not. After the eunuch gave only an affirmative answer, saying there was absolutely no mistake, she still refused to believe it. She changed her clothes, then immediately went to the palace to see the Queen Mother. However, the final result she received was still exactly the same as before, without any changes. Because Tan Kieu Kieu could not accept the fact that I was about to enter the palace as Queen, he tried to hang himself. That very night, my mother ordered someone to tie me up and take me to the firewood room. She used a knife to slash my face, then let Tan Kieu Kieu replace my identity, taking my name to become friends with the Emperor. After Tan Kieu Kieu smoothly sat firmly on the throne of Queen, mother was always worried that I, this hidden threat, would threaten Tan Kieu Kieu's position. So she decided to finish it and directly strangled me to death. Until the day I die, I still cannot understand. Obviously, they are all daughters born to her. Why can my mother be so cruel to me? But if God has given me life again, I absolutely will not allow myself to repeat the mistakes of my previous life, and will not become a stepping stone for Tan Kieu Kieu to step on and step forward. In this life, I will never bring tea and pour water for Tan Kieu Kieu, and of course I will never wet her clothes. But that doesn't affect the fact that my mother still looks at me disapprovingly.

“Tan Tran Tran, why are you still sitting here?”

“Quickly go back to your hospital!”

“Seeing you makes me feel sad!”

This time, when I heard my mother's unjustified scolding and her undisguised dislike, I no longer felt pain. I no longer feel self-pity or regret like in my previous life. I just calmly, gently opened my mouth and said:

"Mother, I also want to stay and see which royal official will eventually become the new Queen of our dynasty."

Hearing that, the mother immediately snorted coldly, her tone even more annoyed and dissatisfied.

“The farmed animals are still not grateful!”

“The position of Queen can only belong to you, my sister!”

I glanced slightly at Tan Kieu Kieu who was standing still because of nervousness and anticipation, then didn't say another word. But that glance of mine was accidentally seen by Tan Kieu Kieu. She immediately rushed in front of me and shouted loudly:

“Tan Tran Tran, what did you mean by that look just now?”

“Do you not believe that I can become Queen?”

“I am your biological sister!”

“How can you be so cold and heartless?”
