Chapter 1 — They Thought I Was Easy To Bully, Didn't Expect Me To Be So Honest That It Made The Whole Palace Cry

The whole capital knows that I am the most honest girl in Truong An. So honest that even the royal family wouldn't dare marry her. My great-grandmother is the only eldest princess in the dynasty. His intentions are so deep that he can't see the bottom, and his tricks make the courtiers have to be cautious. My mother is a famous family member of the Black Wind Camp. A great sword roams the rivers and lakes, its prestige shocks all four directions. Who would have thought that... Two such powerful women would raise an honest person like me. Because I'm too honest and naive. Even the royal family wouldn't dare let me step foot in the door. They were afraid that the only precious jewel in the hands of the Princess Truong would die of old age in the cold harem, where cannibals would not spit out bones. A woman who is still shy about coming to the royal family. I wonder who else in the world dares to get married? So I just became a famous lady throughout Truong An city. Until the day Ba Palace sent someone to pray for her... My grandmother was so happy that she almost ran straight to Thai Mieu and kowtowed to her ancestors.

“In this world…”

“Could there be someone more honest than my good niece?”

The night before the wedding day, thunder and lightning flashed outside the window. Mother took my hand, gently patted it a few times, then gently advised:

“The Ton family are kind people and behave ethically.”

"Even though Ton The Duong has a few connecting rooms, he still knows how to be polite. It is said that those women, before entering the main house, always take birth control pills."

"Your mother-in-law is physically weak. Even though she is a concubine, she is temporarily in charge of the housework. When you get married, the kitchen and housework will have to be handed over to you."

"Since your ancestors have your back, the Ton family will never dare to bully you."

I nodded:

"My daughter is not afraid. As long as you treat people with sincerity, you won't go wrong."

On the day of marriage, the mother hugged her mother and cried:

“Aiz... My obedient daughter, she has to marry into someone else's house and suffer!”

Her mother patted her back and comforted her:

"You just take care of your body. With someone here, who dares to let it suffer?"

Grandmother glanced at the sword in my mother's hand and finally swallowed back her tears. Two people - one a royal court assassin, the other a notorious gangster female farm owner - saw me off to my husband's house. Thirty miles of bride price, the palanquin goes around the city for half a day. Even my future coffin is fully prepared. That's enough to see - how much we are pampered in our mother's house. On the wedding night, I carried a joyful heart and sat still waiting for the groom to come and lift the pink veil. I have seen you before - on the day Ton The Duong came to my house to seek marriage. At that time, I hid behind the screen, only daring to look from afar. He held a folding fan made from Tuong Phi bamboo in his hand, waving it gently. His white silk shirt was embroidered with black orchid branches. His black hair was tied in a loose bun with a jade hairpin. A few strands hanging down on his forehead accentuated his peach blossom eyes filled with love. Truly an elegant gentleman. I fell in love with you at first sight. Even though my grandmother warned me that he would soon have a new room in the house and advised me to refuse this marriage - I still stubbornly begged my grandmother to accept, wholeheartedly wanting to marry into the Ton family. In my heart, I still dream of a harmonious married life, walking side by side, arranging flowers with him, admiring the moon, drinking tea and enjoying books. While dreaming, the candle turns red Suddenly there was a "boom" sound on the table and a flower of fire erupted. People are waiting for the bridegroom, and I... am waiting for his concubines.

"Yes? Isn't this Princess Cam Vinh?"

"Why didn't the bridegroom come to lift the wedding veil?"

A laughter as clear as a royal song resounded in my ears.

“If you don't mind, let me replace my husband and help!”

A cry rang out and the red veil fell to the ground. I raised my head, my eyes calmly swept over the three people in front of me - their faces were not at all earth-shattering, but their gestures were extremely proud.

“Who are you?”

I heard Luc Van shouting loudly:

"The prince's noble status is not something you can casually violate!"

Luc Van is my close maid, a servant since I was a child.
