Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

Ninh Mong acted like a cougar for a long time, but Ha Quan Thanh was still determined and only agreed to be concubine. At first, Ninh Mong still wanted to get involved, but seeing that he refused to give in no matter what, and received a lot of pearls and jewelry to coax him, she decided not to make a fuss anymore. Concubine is concubine, after all, there is only her in the harem. Diep Van That flew next to him, suddenly a little confused about him. Obviously he loves Ninh Mong. Why don't you directly make her your queen? The system pondered for a long time, the voice rarely carried a meaning that she couldn't understand: "He doesn't want to set up a queen, perhaps because he remembers that you are the one on the mission to conquer. As long as he sets up a queen, you... will immediately die." Perhaps this is the only thing he still cares about. Hearing that explanation, Diep Van That also remained silent. But. He didn't know that she was already dead. He is a person who acts very quickly. After agreeing with Ninh Mong, he immediately sent someone to prepare for the big wedding. Soon, the wedding was prepared in a very short time. But all arrangements are extremely solemn. Diep Van That followed Ha Quan Thanh, watching him arrange everything himself, just like three years ago. If that hadn't happened three years ago, perhaps they would have had a grand wedding. Ha Quan Thanh and Ninh Mong's big wedding is scheduled for the end of the month. Even though it was just a concubine, Ha Quan Thanh still gave Ninh Mong enough face and scale to be no less than that of a queen. But on the big wedding day, Ha Quan Thanh seemed a bit absent-minded. He didn't pay attention to Ninh Mong but called the guard over. Ask again: "How have you been lately?" The guard of course understood what he was asking Diep Van That, but still replied: "Every day we bring food." Ha Quan Thanh was silent for a long time, this time finally asked the second question: "Do you eat?" The guard's eyes trembled and he remained silent, not daring to answer. Ha Quan Thanh frowned: "Speak." The guard was so startled that he could only tremble and say: "Your Majesty, last time Miss Ninh told no one to visit you, so every time we only bring food and do not dare to step in..." Ha Quan Thanh's hands suddenly tightened, his eyes showing disbelief: "So how many days have you not seen her at all?" "Yes..." Hearing the answer, Ha Quan Thanh's heart sank. For no reason, he remembered the dream he had that day and felt that something was wrong. A strange uneasiness took over his entire mind. Looking at the guests filled with electricity, his heart beat violently: "Go to the secret room!" The guard was frightened: "Your Majesty, the ceremony is about to begin!" "I told you to go to the secret room!" Diep Van That followed him, suddenly feeling that the lower half of his body was empty. She lowered her head to look, discovering that her already transparent body was gradually disappearing... At this moment, the system spoke: "It probably can't be hidden anymore. After he learns of your death, you will completely disappear. From now on, in this world there will be no more traces proving that you ever existed." For some reason, Diep Van That heard a bit of choking in the system's cold voice. Even the system couldn't help but feel heartbroken when it knew that her soul was about to disappear. So what about Ha Quan Thanh? Ha Quan Thanh has loved her for so many years, and then hated her for so many years... The moment he saw her body, what expression would he have? Feeling extremely relieved that the great enemy has been avenged? Or will I regret it too soon and be in extreme pain? Or no reaction at all, just like looking at a dead stranger? She suddenly became a little curious, so she followed Ha Quan Thanh into the royal palace and returned to the dark secret room. Ha Quan Thanh stood in front of the closed iron door of the secret room, his hand on the lock, seemingly hesitant for a moment. Finally, his breathing gradually became heavier,

Slowly pushed the door open... Diep Van That looked dumbfounded at the scene before her eyes. There was no gloating look in his eyes and on his face. Nor was it any reaction she had expected. It's doubt, incomprehension, confusion. Diep Van That couldn't help but ask the system: "What is the expression on his face?" System: “…” Ha Quan Thanh at this moment was like a puppet that didn't know how to walk on its own, just standing there at the door. He looked at Diep Van That lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth and the floor were full of blood, his face was bloodless. The corners of her lips even carried a smile of liberation. That scene immediately collapsed a defensive line in the heart of Ha Quan Thanh. His breath hitched, and for a moment his heart seemed to stop beating. Only then did Ha Quan Thanh remember to rush forward and carry Diep Van That off the cold ground. He shook her body: "Diep Van That! That That... what's wrong with you?" Ha Quan Thanh raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of her lips, until there was no trace left. But Diep Van That's face was very cold. Cold as winter snow. It was clear that Ha Quan Thanh had touched her completely cold body and had also tested her breath. So why doesn't he stop the movements in his hands and the calls in his mouth? Finally, looking at the pain, despair and collapse on Ha Quan Thanh's face, the system spoke: "Maybe he still loves you."
