It turned out that in just 

month since her rebirth, so much happened that even Tessa had been forced to flee

Before leaving, she still intended to tell the Wallen family all of his

It truly was laughable

In her previous life, she desperately wanted to become a daughter of the Wallen family, only to be killed by her own relatives. Now she no longer desired it, yet the truth was about to be revealed

It was not just about Tessa

She also wanted to see what kind of expressions would appear of the faces of those in the Wallen family

Margaery thought of this and gave a mocking smile, Then today let’s go and watch the show” 

She turned, took the antidote from the shelf, and swallowed it

Wayne watched her back, considered her thoughts, and asked, So, if things fall apart, should we take action against Tessa Margaery wanted Tessa dead

However, she was afraid of implicating Dashnell, since Tessa was connected to the Southcroft Empire and also involved with Callum

Let’s wait and see.” 

In the end, she shook her head. We’re only going today to observe the situation. If we truly intervene, it will implicate Prince Dashnell’s estate.” 

After all, Raul is the Chancellor, and Tessa and Shadow Doctor are spies from the Southcroft Empire. If we step in when they meet, it would be as if telling the King that Prince Dashnell estate has been watching these people all along.” 

The situation is entirely under His Highness’s control, and that is not good news.” 

After all, last night Warren said he would go.” 

Even if action is truly needed, it shouldn’t be us. Let someone from the palace step forward.” 

Wayne nodded repeatedly at these words. You are right, Lady Margaery. No wonder His Highness is fond of you.” 

Knowing that she thought for their prince, their protection of Margaery was worthwhile

Moreover, although she was not in the court, she was very clever 

In just a few days, she could already discern most of the chaos in the court

Wayne’s praise was sincere, which made Margaery a little embarassed

After leaving the Chancellor’s estate, there were few people by her side

Naturally, she cherished each one she had

Besides, Dashnell had eight elder brothers. Even if someone was to stand out, it would never be Dashnell’s turn

If he jumped out, he would be too conspicuous

Those eight elder brothers above would all want him dead then 

She certainly did not want him to become the one who stood out and got targeted

Margaery thought about this as she looked out the window, and suddenly said, I’m only sixteen this year

The days ahead were still long, and the road had to be walked step by step

She had to walk steadily, not giving anyone an opportunity to exploit

Wayne nodded. Yes, Lady Margaery, you are only sixteen. There is plenty of time ahead.” 

Amber’s voice came from behind. My Lady, she has been dressed up. Please take a look

Margaery snapped out of her thoughts and went to the side room to look at Keaton

Keaton’s face was now unrecognizable, densely covered with blisters. She was wearing the same coarse cloth garments that Margaery had worn in recent days, making her look almost indistinguishable from Margaery

Margaery snorted, entered the room, and took out the imitation jeweled hairpin from the drawer, placing it on Keaton. She whispered with a smile by her ear, The way you and Tessa planned this death is quite clever. You’ll experience it yourself soon enough.” 

Keaton stared wideeyed, her eyes nearly bleeding with tears

Margaery ignored her and proceeded to change into another set of clothes

It was a set of white brocade attire that Dashnell had sent last time. After fastening the belt, the outfit made it hard to distinguish gender

Wayne saw this and smiled, Lady, this outfit suits you very well

Margaery felt embarrassed, My face hasn’t healed yet.” 

That’s fine,said Wayne. He had seen her before her face was disfigured and already imagined how stunning she would look once recovered. He couldn’t help the corners of his mouth from lifting slightly

She and Dashnell truly made a perfect match

But Margaery was not thinking about this. Instead, she said, You all should change your clothes too. Wear white. With the world outside covered in ice and snow, white clothes are best for hiding.” 

Also, when you have a moment, remind His Highness. If it’s really not possible, he shouldn’t come out today. If he runs into someone from the palace, it wouldn’t be good.” 

Wayne was not concerned about this. It’s fine if His Highness comes out. The King knows you are His Highness’s beloved, and besides, we are people from Prince Dashnell’s residence. Warren saw it with his own eyes 

His Highness knows about your plan to help, so it’s perfectly reasonable.” 

Margaery responded, That’s true.” 

Then I’ll go change as well.Wayne smiled and withdrew

Alright.” 

Margaery sat down and applied a layer of ointment to her face

Soon, all the blisters broke, and after absorbing the fluid, she applied another layer of ointment

She waited for one hour before washing it off

The skin of the blisters had all peeled away

In the mirror was a face with only slight scars, but the scars were pink and not very noticeable

Keaton stared at her as if Margaery were performing magic trick, her eyes nearly popping out

In this world, only her mentor and Lyonel from the Southcroft Empire could achieve such a feat

Lyonel could not possibly have any connection to Margaery

The only possibility was that Margaery’s mentor, Craig, might be Lyonel’s senior and the legendary Southcroft King, master of the Nine Imperial Hall

This time, she had truly met her match

However, she could not speak

Margaery herself did not know Craig’s background. She only knew that his medical skills were excellent, his martial arts formidable, and that he had some connection to her late mother As for anything else, she knew nothing

She also did not know what Keaton was trying to say through her whimpers

Nor was she interested in listening

By the time everything was tidied up, it was already close to noom

Adam returned from outside with food and brought news from the Chancellor’s estate

On my way back just now, I saw Raul hurrying from the magistrate’s court, accompanied by a guard who seemed to be delivering a message.” 

He glanced at Margaery as he spoke, The news of Tessa’s kidnapping has likely already reached Raul.” 

According to Margaery’s speculation, Raul would soon find an excuse to call her away, then abduct her to exchange for 

Tessa

To some extent, Adam was still a bit nervous

However, Margaery showed little reaction. After pondering for a moment, she said, If someone calls me out, you should accompany Shadow Doctor in the carriage.” 

When you pass by Mercelo Pharmacy, get off and collect the prescribed medicine.” 

Margaery had originally intended to send Amber, but fearing she might implicate Amber, she ultimately chose Adam and revised her plan. Give them a chance to take Shadow Doctor away.” 

Once they’ve left, we’ll head to the Icy Pool.” 

Alright.” 

Adam agreed, though he was somewhat puzzled. But Lady Margaery, why do you have to go yourself?” 

He had originally thought that Margaery wanted to use this opportunity to have them capture Tessa and target the 

Chancellor’s estate

But it seemed her objective was not this

Margaery gazed out the window, unable to say much. In the end she simply said, Perhaps, I just want to see whether those socalled relatives of mine are truly capable of such things.” 

Adam could understand her

Yet he did not know that Margaery’s words were spoken casually 

After all, in her previous life, they had already done it

However, she still wanted to witness their ugly faces this time and was even more curious to see how Tessa would react if she discovered that the dead person was Keaton

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.
