Chapter One, "The End"

-Shen Yuanshui's wife sat in front of the golden mirror, contemplating her sad reflection full of pain and self-blame. She smiled in a grim way, "That's what you chose, this is the happy life you want, right? This is your rosy dream that you fought for until you moved away from those you love."

She reproached herself for the life she chose, as every night. The night was gloomy, with black clouds hiding the moon and the sound of rain strong. At that moment, the doors of the room opened strongly. She turned around to see a black object that she couldn't clearly see because of the darkness, only the light of lightning was revealing some of his features. He was holding his sword and moving with slow steps and a squeaking sound emanating from his drag of the sword. His body was stained with blood.

His wife stood in the middle of the room without expression, and he began to approach her. Leaving his sword lying on the ground, he raised his bare red hands and placed them softly on her soft face, then leaned his forehead on hers and uttered quiet words, "Honey, I tried so much to keep them away. Cod... I killed them all, but I'm going to protect you from them, yes I'm going to protect you." He laughed hysterically, then walked away screaming and waved his sword trying to kill what he saw, "You will all die, you will not reach me, die, die, aaaaaa."

She just looked at him calmly, and then took a step towards him. As she moved, the sword was close to her neck, the necklace fell and he stopped for a moment. Then his wife raised her hand to touch the tip of the bloody sword, grabbed his waist in her hand and directed it towards her heart and then... She stabbed him and the sword went into her heart. I advanced further and the sword was planted more. Her husband was shocked with wide eyes by what he saw. Falling to the ground, he moved, holding her in his embrace, uttering final words in a reluctant voice, "It is your turn to suffer in this life." She started coughing and blood came out of her mouth, then she lost her life.

Her husband shouted, "No, please, no dear, don't go, you're not going, ah." He gasped in tears, "Please, don't leave."

In the Imperial Palace, in one of the rooms of high stature, "Madam, are you still sleeping?" she knocked softly on the door, then entered, "You have to wake up early, wake up madam." I walked around the room to tidy up its surroundings. The woman began to feel the sounds and slowly opened her eyes. The vision was not clear at first as she looked around. She got up quickly, holding her heart and breathing fast. Her maid looked at her with a strange question, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Don't worry me like that, did you have a bad dream?" She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her eyes flooded with tears, and she held her maid firmly, "Rory, Oh, you're fine, you're alive, I can't believe, am I in a dream or in the afterlife?"

Surprised by her actions, Rory mocks her words, "Ma'am, what are you talking about? You're alive, we're both fine." Like in shock, "What? Rory, is my brother okay? Mom, and the others too, right?" As she looks contemplating with reassuring words, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Everyone is fine, His Majesty and everyone in the palace is in good health and well-being. It seems that your dream was very bad." She couldn't believe these words, lowered her hands in shock, asking, "Is this fact or fiction? What happened? Did I really come back to be just a princess? Only Li Chen Hua? Oh my God, what happened?"

Rory said, "Ma'am, where should you go back? Wait to make sure you're okay, or I have to get the imperial doctor."

Li Xiaofeng replied, "I'm fine, stop there."

Rory asked, "Ma'am, are you telling the truth?"

Li Xiaofeng replied, "Yes, I heard you talking about today! Is there something special today?"

Rory replied, "Ma'am, you are so forgetful. It's His Majesty's birthday, and you've even practiced a lot for a special dance for the day."

Li Xiaofeng was surprised, "Four months before the accident, the day will come?"

Rory said, "Ma'am, what are you talking about?"

لYi Xiaofeng asked, "Rory, when you bring the dress, bring with it a niqab that hides my face well."

Rory asked, "But ma'am, why would you hide your face?"

أXiaofeng replied to me, "If someone asks you why I wear the niqab, answer that I have a strong allergy, and don't ask me more. Come on, go."

Rory asked permission, "Oh, well, I'll go."

Li Xiaofeng took quick steps towards the mirror and checked herself, then pinched herself, "Oh, painful. It seems to be real. It's real. Is this another chance for me or what? Even if it's not real, I'll take the opportunity. I'm going to stop what might happen."

In the Zhang dynasty, the Xiang Li Empire was ruled by an impressive emperor named Zhang Wei. He ascended the throne at the age of 18, masterfully controlling the conflicts occurring in the northern and eastern provinces, and resolving the crises that occurred in the The Southern Province with the help of the people of the West, the place where he lived. From a young age, there was a problem in the Imperial Palace where his father forcibly raped his mother and became pregnant from him. Not content with that, he went further until she brought a younger sister. The former emperor believed that he would only get males, and was very biased against princesses, killing every princess that might come from his descendants and brutally.

His mother was afraid that he would kill her little sister, so they tried to escape from the palace and managed to. His mother and he and his infant sister returned to West Shen Province and started a new life. From that time until he was 18, no one reached them. One day, the soldiers entered their house. Zhang Wei was worried about his family. Ten years have passed, why did they come back to them?

An elderly eunuch with a sharp tongue entered with the soldiers and asked to be heard and submitted to what he recited from the imperial decree. His Majesty the emperor is reported to have died and his successor Hu Zhang Wei is mentioned. They were surprised to hear these words, and the soldiers cheered and bowed to him. At that moment, Zhang Wei was dismissive because he knew that his father had many princes. At that moment, his mother stood up and stood by the hand while they were behind her, refusing to accept this decree and the eunuch spoke in a sharp tone, stressing that His Majesty has no successors. They were surprised.

أ

The eunuch went on to say that over those years, the emperor fell ill and malfunctioned in his mind, and began to brutally kill everyone. None of them remained and also died anonymously. He stated that he must accept the imperial decree and take responsibility for the empire. He imposed the position on him, yet he worked hard to be better than his father, and made the country stable, strong and prosperous, which he did.
