Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

Not knowing how much time passed, Diep Van That raised her bloody face: "Is that okay?" Ha Quan Thanh opened his mouth and was about to say something when Ninh Mong pulled his shirt. She said softly: "Your Majesty, but I really don't want to see that fox anymore. Look, it scratched me and made it bleed. If I don't kill it, I won't be able to sleep..." Diep Van That's eyes trembled, almost pleading as she looked at Ha Quan Thanh. Ha Quan Thanh was silent for a moment. In the end, he still chose to defer to Ninh Mong, telling the guard holding A Ly: "Let's go." Diep Van That's eyes suddenly opened wide, the blood in her body seemed to freeze. Receiving the order, the guard held a stick and fiercely raised it, aiming at A Ly's weak body... "No way!" Diep Van That rushed forward with all his might, but in the end he was still one step slow. After a heavy impact, A Ly squinted her dark eyes at her, weakly cried out one last time and then completely fell down. Diep Van That cried, hugging it. "A Ly, A Ly, A Ly..." She seemed crazy, constantly repeating the little fox's name. Until Ha Quan Thanh and Ninh Mong left, she still hugged A Ly's body, mechanically calling its name over and over again. After A Ly died, Diep Van That's only hope was gone. She seemed to have lost her soul, more like a walking corpse than ever. These past few days, the guards came every day to force her to eat. She no longer resisted, just waited for them to finish feeding her and then vomited it all out, repeating the same thing over and over again. Her body is getting weaker and weaker. Until one day, after vomiting all her food, she suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood! The guard delivering the food was startled when he saw it, and immediately planned to go and report to Ha Quan Thanh. But he was suddenly grabbed by Diep Van That. She raised her eyes, her eyes were red from hematoma: "If you dare to tell him, I will immediately beat my head and die here." The guard did not dare to act rashly. They knew that no matter how Ha Quan Thanh punished Diep Van That, not letting her die was still his final limit. He had to agree, panicking and leaving the secret room. After he left, the secret room fell silent. Diep Van That closed her eyes, then spat out a large mouthful of blood. Suddenly, as if she saw something, she smiled, her voice carrying liberation. "You finally came." She opened her eyes, watching the golden light appear in mid-air. The system looked at her current appearance and was silent for a long time. "To love too much and turn to hate is truly terrifying. Host, I remember he loved you very much before." Diep Van That couldn't help but laugh. That's right, the whole world knows that Ha Quan Thanh loved her very much. Laughing for a while, her tears flowed down again. "It's time, right?" The system sighed: "Why do you need to ask me? You've always seen the countdown to your death, right?" Diep Van That did not answer, the whole person leaned against the bed like a body. Not wrong. Since three years ago, she saw it every day. Three years ago, Ha Quan Thanh was assassinated and poisoned. The poison had penetrated the internal organs, even the invited divine doctor was trembling in fear, unable to do anything. Diep Van That begged the system to save him, but everyone's fate was predetermined and could not be changed. The system told her, unless someone was willing to change lives. Therefore, Diep Van That used her life in exchange for his. So actually from that moment on, even if the conquest mission was successful, she still wouldn't have been able to leave alive. After discovering that Diep Van That was the one on the mission to conquer, Ha Quan Thanh stubbornly believed that all her feelings were fake, thinking that she did not love him. But he was ridiculously wrong. It's not that she doesn't love. On the contrary, she loves

Ha Quan Thanh to the bone. It's ironic that the person on the mission to conquer loves the object he has to conquer. Because of him, she could no longer return to her original world. Because of him, she even lost her life. The system showed great compassion, giving her three more years, letting her spend the last three years with Ha Quan Thanh. But no one expected that this so-called togetherness would be spent in endless imprisonment and humiliation. Now that Diep Van That's deadline has come, she only feels that her whole body is liberated. She was finally about to die. System prompt: "Host, you only have the last three hours left." Diep Van That smiled softly: "Finally... it's almost over..." The system looked at her waiting for death and sighed again: "If there's anything you want to complete, do it quickly." It paused for a moment: "There won't be any more chances from now on." Diep Van That finally opened her eyes. She didn't bring anything here, so she couldn't take anything away either. There was only one thing, she needed to solve it. She used all her last strength to call the guard over, wanting to see Ha Quan Thanh one more time, telling him that he must appear. There needs to be an end between them. From now on, there will be no more Diep Van That in this world. But at least she had to tell him that she truly loved him. Love him very, very much.
