Dangerous?” 

Keaton pulled her to sit down, pretending to administer acupuncture. “What is it? Has something not gone smoothly?” 

Tessa nodded. Mainly Margaery and Russell. The two of them seem to have discovered my secret. They’ve already called me an impostor several times. Although the rest of the Wallen family believe me, there’s always a chance something could go wrong” 

And if that happens?” 

If one day Raul starts to suspect me, the only thing waiting for me is a dead end.” 

She spoke, looking at Keaton. Could you help me get rid of Margaery? We don’t need to do it ourselves. Just have someone else do it for us.” 

I’ve already mentioned it to Raul. As long as we find the right opportunity, Raul will remember what I said that day, and he’ll be convinced.” 

Keaton was somewhat puzzled. So you mean, you already have a plan?” 

Yes. That day, I told Raul I overheard Margaery saying she wanted to kidnap me.” 

Tessa spoke, a smile appearing on her face

Keaton instantly understood. Well done. With the Wallen family now hating Margaery and favoring you, if we find someone to pretend to kidnap you and then have them kill Margaery, they’ll definitely agree.” 

You understand me best.Tessa hugged Keaton

Keaton patted her shoulder. I’ll come see you tonight.” 

Keaton was dressed as a man now, so it would not be appropriate

Tessa nodded. Thank you in advance! Or, could you ask Leo to help?” 

Yes, I’ll go find him tonight.” 

Keaton nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and looked at Tessa. What about you? Did you take abortion medicine?” 

Tessa looked troubled at these words. There was no other way. I originally thought I could marry into the Hadley family.” 

Who knew the Hadley family would collapse, and Prince Callum turned out to be a scoundrel, completely unreliable.” 

Keaton snorted at that. I’ve said it before There’s not a single good man in the Eastvale Empire. If men were trustworthy, would your mother have ended up like that?” 

I think you should learn from this setback and be wiser next time.” 

Once we’ve avenged ourselves and reduced the Chancellor’s estate to ashes, we’ll leave this place,” Keaton spoke, gazing out the window

Outside the Chancellor’s estate

Two figures landed in a dark alley, conversing in low voices

Who would have thought Lady Margaery would guess it right? Not only do Tessa and Shadow Doctor know each other, but they’ve also even plotted such a fine drama!” 

I suddenly understand what Lady Margaery meant.” 

She wanted us to capture Shadow Doctor and was actually waiting for us here.” 

Yes, it’s all thanks to her quick thinking…” 

One person sighed, I thought she was just a naive girl raised in the Chancellor’s estate, but she’s actually quite clever.” 

And ruthless, too.” 

The other nodded, All right, you keep watching. Let them Doctor.”

to capture Shadow 

This is a serious matter. I need to report to Prince Dashnell, or if something goes wrong, we won’t be able to bear the 

consequences.” 

With that, the two parted ways

One returned to the Chancellor’s estate, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity

The other hurried off to Dashnell’s residence

***** 

Dashnell’s residence

Dashnell had just returned from the palace, carrying a stack of documents from the Ministry of Personnel, and was seated at his desk selecting candidates for the cabinet

Adam and Rowan entered together

You’re all here?Dashnell paused, setting the documents aside

Adam hesitated, It was Lady Margaery who poisoned herself. Her body is now covered in sores, and she instructed me to spread the word that she’s been disfigured by poison and has become mute.” 

I wasn’t sure what to do and feared something might happen to her, so I came to find Your Highness.” 

After speaking, he knelt down directly

Dashnell’s heart tightened. She took the medicine herself?” 

How serious must the situation be for her to harm her own body just to get through this crisis?he thought

Adam nodded, Yes, she prescribed it herself and said there is an antidote” 

Dashnell felt anxious, forcing himself to reason

Since she made the decision herself, she must have been confident in the outcome

After all, she was someone who had already died once

Thinking this, he asked again, So, does she have any other plans?” 

Rowan replied, She wants us to find an opportunity to capture Shadow Doctor.”

I just returned from the Chancellor’s estate and discovered that Tessa and Shadow Doctor are planning to stage a kidnapping, then use the Wallen family to kill by proxy!” 

With a sudden sound, Dashnell stood up on the spot. I understand! She intends to use Shadow Doctor as her substitute!” 

Dashnell’s heart trembled as he recalled the past life, Shadow Doctor doesn’t look like her, and their voices must be different! So, if she wants to use Shadow Doctor to get away with it, Shadow Doctor can’t be captured in the original form!” 

So, first of all, the Shadow Doctor must not be recognized!” 

Second, she must not be allowed to speak!” 

At that time, the Wallen family will capture the Shadow Doctor, mistakenly thinking she is Margaery, and then, in order to exchange for Tessa, they will kill her!” 

Dashnell felt sorry for Margaery, but thinking of this, he couldn’t help but slap the table in admiration, Brilliant!” 

This move will make them turn on each other!” 

So, you should fully cooperate with her. When the time is right, I will he felt even more sympathy

step 

in as well.” His heart was beating rapidly, but then 

Margaery’s wisdom today was gained at the cost of blood

Dashnell slowly sat down, Just follow her instructions. I will go see Craig soon. He should be aware of the situation.” 

Understood.” 

Having received definite news, Rowan and Adam turned and left

As they reached the doorway, Dashnell’s decisive voice came from inside, Not one of Sullivan from Lakeburgh will remain tonight.” 

Yes!” 

This time, only Rowan responded

Only Stormshade Hall could act to kill Sullivan of Lakeburgh. But Stormshade Hall needed to lie low for now, so they would have to use some tricks and make it look like someone else did it

Rowan pondered this matter and left

Adam also returned to the inn

Dashnell put down the documents and went to find Craig

Meanwhile, the Eastern Palace’s Crown Prince, Nathaniel, received the news

What did you say? Margaery has been disfigured, and has even become mute?” 

Upon hearing Lillian’s report, he knocked over the coffee cup at his side

Lillian, however, was somewhat delighted, chattering incessantly, Isn’t that so? If you ask me, the guards of Prince Dashnell’s residence are useless as well.” 

Wasn’t Adam personally guarding her? How did someone still manage to slip through and drug Lady Margaery?” 

Before leaving, I went in for a look, and it was truly terrifying.” 

If she were to walk down the street now, I fear even Lord Chancellor would not recognize who she is!” 

Saying this, her bright eyes turned toward Nathaniel, Your Highness, now that she is like this, do you still wish to marry her?” 

Though she is the Star of Fortune, it’s just a title. Whose Star of Fortune is an ugly person, and mute at that?” 

If you ask me, if you truly marry her, people will laugh at you to death.” 

She had followed Nathaniel for many years

She had thought that one day she could become the Crown Prince’s woman, climbing step by step to the position of secondary mistress

If she did well, perhaps she could even become Crown Princess

After all, she was also the granddaughter of the great scholar, not just an ordinary maid

Yet unexpectedly, Margaery beat her to it and seize the opportunity first

1. Opening Rumors and Cruel Whispers

Chapter 1 begins with harsh gossip spreading among servants and onlookers about Lady Margaery Wallen, who has been imprisoned for three days in the firewood shed of the Chancellor’s estate.

The whispers are filled with cruelty rather than concern:

  • Some speculate she may have died.

  • Others claim she deserves death.

  • Some even suggest punishing her further.

These opening lines immediately establish the hostility surrounding Margaery and foreshadow the injustice she faces. Sympathy is absent; judgment and resentment dominate the atmosphere.


2. The Firewood Shed: A Place of Suffering

Inside the firewood shed, the true condition of Margaery is revealed.

She is:

  • Young (only fifteen or sixteen)

  • Curled up in pain

  • Shivering violently

  • Physically filthy and exhausted

Her once-beautiful clothing is torn and soiled. Her butterfly hairpin, a symbol of innocence and femininity, is gone. Her hair is tangled with mud, emphasizing how completely she has been stripped of dignity.

The shed symbolizes abandonment, punishment, and emotional exile.


3. Awakening from Death: The Shock of Rebirth

Margaery wakes up screaming in terror, desperately shouting that she is innocent.

At first, she is confused—she believes she should be dead.

Memories of her brutal past life surface:

  • Her eldest brother Joshua cut out her tongue.

  • Her second brother Avery poisoned her.

  • Her fifth brother Andrew crippled her by cutting off her legs.

  • Her fourth brother Clyde cast her out.

  • She sacrificed herself for Tessa.

  • Her third brother Russell disposed of her corpse in an icy pond.

These memories reveal a horrifying truth: Margaery was destroyed by the very family she loved.

Her survival now is not escape—it is rebirth.


4. Realization of the Past Timeline

Margaery slowly realizes she has returned to the past, to the time when she was imprisoned in the firewood shed.

In her previous life:

  • She had been confined there for an entire month.

  • The cold caused severe rheumatism.

  • The illness tormented her for three long years.

The realization that she has returned before her ultimate destruction shocks her deeply. She never imagined rebirth or a second chance.

Her bitter smile reflects disillusionment, not hope.


5. Margaery’s Identity and Family Background

Margaery recalls her origins:

  • She is the legitimate daughter of Raul Wallen, Chancellor of the estate.

  • Her mother died during childbirth.

  • She was born premature and weak.

  • She was once treasured as the family’s only daughter.

Her father promised her protection and declared her the family’s “little princess.”

However, these promises were empty.

Despite her belief in their words, her family became her greatest tormentors.


6. The Illusion of Family Love

Margaery remembers how desperately she tried to earn her family’s love:

  • She obeyed them.

  • She sacrificed for them.

  • She tolerated humiliation.

Yet, all her loyalty was rewarded with betrayal and death.

Her past life teaches her a painful lesson: Unconditional love does not exist in her family.

This realization fuels her determination to sever emotional ties in this life.


7. A New Resolve: Choosing Herself

Unlike her previous life, Margaery now makes a firm decision:

  • She will no longer beg for affection.

  • She will no longer sacrifice herself for others.

  • She will carve her own future.

This marks a crucial turning point in her character—from self-sacrificing victim to emotionally awakened survivor.


8. Avery Wallen’s Arrival

The sound of footsteps interrupts her thoughts.

Her second brother Avery Wallen enters, carrying herbal medicine.

His words are cold and commanding:

  • He orders her to take the medicine.

  • He demands she apologize to Tessa.

  • He insists she beg Tessa to return home.

Despite holding warm medicine, Avery’s behavior is emotionally icy, highlighting the contrast between surface concern and inner cruelty.


9. Avery’s Hypocrisy Revealed

Margaery remembers that Avery once cared for her deeply:

  • He secretly brought her medicine.

  • He worried about her health.

But everything changed after Tessa’s arrival.

Now:

  • He only cares about Tessa’s ailments.

  • He ignores Margaery’s allergies.

  • He overlooks the rashes covering her body.

His concern is selective, revealing how completely Margaery has been replaced.


10. The Threat of Expulsion

Avery delivers a devastating ultimatum: If Margaery refuses to apologize, their father will expel her from the family.

In her previous life, these words crushed her. She reacted with desperation and threats of self-harm.

Instead of sympathy, she gained:

  • A ruined reputation

  • A label as a madwoman

  • Public humiliation

This memory strengthens her resolve not to repeat her mistakes.


11. Avery’s Accusations and Tessa’s “Kindness”

Avery grows angrier, accusing Margaery of being ungrateful.

He claims:

  • Tessa knelt in the cold for Margaery’s sake.

  • Tessa caught a cold because of her.

  • Tessa is gentle and forgiving.

He insists that if Margaery apologizes, everything will return to normal.

These words expose the family’s blind favoritism toward Tessa.


12. Tessa’s Arrival and Displacement

Margaery reflects on how her life changed after Tessa appeared.

Tessa:

  • Was a long-lost daughter.

  • Became the family’s emotional focus.

  • Received overwhelming affection.

  • Inspired guilt and overcompensation from the family.

Even Margaery’s fiancé shifted his loyalty to Tessa.

Margaery became invisible.


13. False Guilt and Manipulation

Though Margaery initially tried to accept Tessa, she slowly realized:

  • Tessa wanted not just love, but her position.

  • Tessa wanted her identity.

  • Tessa wanted to erase her existence.

The alleged accident—the fall from the artificial mountain—was Tessa’s fabrication, yet Margaery was blamed without question.


14. Acceptance Without Illusion

Margaery agrees to apologize—not out of guilt, but clarity.

She no longer believes her family cares. She no longer hopes for justice.

Her compliance is strategic, not submissive.


15. Memory of Humiliation

She recalls kneeling in the snow, begging her father not to recognize Tessa as his daughter.

Instead of comfort, she was:

  • Locked in the shed

  • Forced to apologize

  • Publicly humiliated

This memory seals her emotional detachment.


16. Emotional Detachment and Inner Strength

Margaery decides:

  • Apologies mean nothing.

  • Truth does not matter.

  • Their love is conditional and false.

Freedom is her only goal.

She refuses to argue or explain herself again.


17. Physical Pain and Quiet Endurance

Ignoring Avery, Margaery forces herself to stand using a wooden stick.

Her knees ache terribly, a reminder of past suffering.

Yet her face shows no emotion.

This quiet endurance marks her transformation—she no longer seeks validation.


18. Avery’s Final Question

Avery blocks her path and asks the question that defines her fate: “Did you push Tessa down the artificial mountain?”

This accusation hangs unresolved, symbolizing:

  • Injustice

  • Bias

  • The beginning of greater conflict


19. Major Themes Introduced

This chapter introduces powerful themes:

  • Rebirth and Second Chances

  • Family Betrayal

  • Identity Erasure

  • Manipulation and False Innocence

  • Emotional Neglect

  • Self-Liberation


20. Conclusion: A Silent Rebellion Begins

Chapter 1 ends not with confrontation, but with quiet defiance.

Margaery is no longer the girl who begs. She is someone who observes, remembers, and prepares.

Her silence is no longer weakness—it is strategy.

This chapter lays the foundation for a story of revenge, independence, and self-reclamation.
