This reign is only ephemereal. Older brother of Lý Nam Đế, Lý Thiên Bảo (b. 499 - d. 555) tried unsuccessfully to resist the Chinese Imperial forces but not for a long though. In 548 A.D. Ly Nam De had fallen ill while resisting the Chinese Liang forces of Chen Pa H'sien (Trần Bá Tiên) in the Laotian mountains. Lý Nam Đế decided to relinquish his imperial authority and transferred his power to his older brother Thiên Bảo and trusted lieutenant Triệu Quang Phục as co-rulers in his place with the intention of continuing the struggle against the Chinese.

In 555, Lý Thiên Bảo fell ill and died without leaving an heir, thus making Triệu Quang Phục as sole ruler. Triệu Quang Phục, better known as the emperor Triệu Việt Vương -and Dạ Trạch Vương was able to consolidate the armed forces under Lý Thiên Bảo and Lý Nam Đế against the Chinese invasion.
