Same situation with the 4th and 5th page, when the 4th paragraph should be underneath the Title "Chuong 1" first instead of the paragraph in the 5th page.
These are images from my Indesign of what they should be looked like:
I just want only a page break between the previous chapter and the next chapter title as they will shift to another page for easier reading.
This is my paragraph style setting for the headings:
Thank you in advance!
Documents for export to EPUB must be in a single continuous text flow. Breaking that text into multiple boxes, as you've done, even threaded ones, will cause all kinds of strange behavior.
Make your book document one continuous flow and use paragraph styles to set spacing, etc.
Page breaks and spacing above text (as for chapter headings, etc.) are tricky in reflowable EPUB and Kindle. EPUB does not support page breaks without internal file breaks, which Kindle does not like. Kindle, however,

But everything is in that one text flow and proper paragraph formatting, not tricks with "paste up" on the layout. All such page layout will be lost in the export.
