Chapter 1 of Don't Lie To Me, Or Lightning Will Strike You!

I was going through the dog hole to escape from marriage when the imperial edict of making the eldest daughter of the Lawson family the noble concubine was delivered to my house.

I was brought in front of Gary Lawson - my nominal father. He endured not looking at my dirty appearance and coughed heavily, saying, "Claire, this is the imperial edict. You will go to the palace tomorrow."

I pointed at Elena, looking confused, and said, "I am just her cousin. She is the eldest daughter of the Lawson family. Why should I marry?"

"Do not be disrespectful!" Gary got angry. "I have adopted you. What more do you want?"

"Oh, I forgot. Elena has already married, and she married the prince. Unfortunately, the prince died. As a widow, she cannot marry the emperor. Elena, are you feeling sad? This is the retribution for taking away my identity."

I felt extremely relieved when I saw Elena's pale face.

Gary reached out his hand and wanted to hit me as usual, but he hesitated and didn't strike down.

I felt triumphant. But someone pushed me into the lake then. The last thing I saw was Elena's calm face.

Damn it, if I'm going to die, let's die together.

I grabbed Elena's dress and pulled her down instantly.

Falling into the water by accident was a good opportunity. I wanted to take the chance to pretend to be sick and not enter the palace - but unfortunately, Elena had a high fever. And I was still full of energy.

I was so annoyed by my strong body!

Anyway, I still had to go to the palace and marry Jasper Biden, that silly emperor.

I didn't want to marry him. On the one hand, it's because I was rebellious. The Lawson family had nothing to do with me. On the other hand... I've beaten Jasper before.

He wouldn't recognize me, right?

I thought worriedly.

I was supported into the palace by the palace maids and saw Jasper was waiting for me.

He frowned and looked at me with a cold expression, "You're Claire Lawson? Not so pretty."

I had a well-built body. Not so pretty? Are you blind?

"Am I ugly?" I asked angrily.

"Of course, I have never seen anyone uglier than you," he replied.

I was angry. But suddenly a bolt of lightning struck directly at Jasper.

Jasper's hair turned charred instantly, and he looked at the ceiling that was struck by lightning incredulously. He got angry and stood up, saying, "I married you because of the late emperor's will and the Empress Dowager's command. I won't love you, so you better give up."

I wanted to beat him. Then I said sarcastically, "I know, your heart only belongs to Elena. You are so devoted to her."

"Of course I am."

With Jasper's confident voice, another lightning struck and knocked him down to the ground.

Such a drastic change made us all silent. I couldn't help but think with glee that the fact that the emperor was struck by lightning would affect his reputation in the court. As expected, Jasper left with a grim face.

At this moment, my maid Jodie came in and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the emperor has urgent matters to attend to suddenly. Don't worry, he will see you as soon as he is free. You are in his mind."

"Is that so?" I asked casually.

"Of course," Jodie replied sincerely.

Then, she was struck by lightning.

After 108 experiments, I confirmed that I suddenly had a special ability - anyone who lied to me would be struck by lightning.

Wow, God favored me. I was the most vengeful person. Why not use this skill to take revenge?

But, why was Jasper struck? Could it be that Jasper doesn't like Elena?

I fell into contemplation.

Jasper was treacherous and vicious, but his luck was surprisingly good.

His birth mother's status was low, and he was also ranked fifth. Originally, he had no relationship with the throne. But fortunately, his older brothers died one after another, and he was the last one left.

Elena was the first one Jasper loved. He loved her so much. So his brother didn't like him and sent him to the border.

How fool Jasper was! It was impossible that Elena could marry him - a fallen prince. With the imperial decree of the late emperor that 'the Lawson family women have the virtue concubines', Elena successfully married the prince and became the prince's consort.

Unfortunately, the prince had bad luck and passed away from a serious illness.

I was quite happy to see Elena's dream of Queen shattered. but now I have to solve the problem for the Lawson family and finish this marriage.

You wanted to pressure me with my parents and force me into the palace, right? I'll let you know the result - death! All of you!

I thought. Just then, Jodie asked me, "Your Majesty, are you going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet tonight?"

"Of course, why not?"

I would use my skills to disrupt Jasper's palace.
