Trapped in the dark clouds, Shen Shuchou listened to the commotion outside and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he was angry at Jiang Qianqiu's actions, he couldn't blame her.

Although Jiang Qianqiu is now a powerful Emperor Realm expert, he possesses the power to destroy the world with a mere wave of his hand.

But once she appears in front of Shen Shuchou, Jiang Qianqiu is still the same child at heart, and her heart can only hold Shen Shuchou.

He looked like an innocent child, with all his joys and sorrows revolving around Shen Shuchou.

Whenever she looked at Shen Shuchou, her heart was filled with dependence and longing.

In Jiang Qianqiu's world, Shen Shuchou is the only source of light, warm and bright, drawing her involuntarily and leaving no room for anyone else.

In his first life, Shen Shuchou brought Jiang Qianqiu out of that snowy place, and from that moment on, he had already planted a seed in her heart.

Now, that seed has long since grown into a towering tree, becoming indelible.

From Jiang Qianqiu's perspective, all of Shen Shuchou's feelings should rightfully be devoted to her alone.

Therefore, upon hearing Shen Shuchou's words, he naturally found it unacceptable.

Actually, whether it's Jiang Qianqiu, Pei Rouyi, or Hu Baibai.

They all hoped that Shen Shuchou would treat their feelings uniquely.

However, Shen Shuchou had no favoritism or prejudice towards these nine-life heroines; his feelings for each of them were equal and sincere.

So even now, Shen Shuchou still doesn't know how to balance them.

Just as Shen Shuchou was at his wit's end, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

Shen Shuchou thought it was Hu Baibai who had come, and was about to ask her to help remove the restrictions on his body.

But the next second, a trembling voice suddenly came to his ear. The voice was both familiar and strange, as if it came from the depths of a distant memory.

"younger brother..."

Shen Shuchou's body trembled slightly, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

The voice, like a wisp of smoke, lingered in his ears, stirring up countless memories.

A slight sense of unease welled up in Shen Shuchou's heart. He then raised his eyes and saw a young man in white standing in front of him.

The two locked eyes for a moment, and Shen Shuchou seemed to see countless emotions in Luo Shisan's gaze.

The heart-wrenching pain and the agonizing self-blame ultimately transformed into an indescribable longing.

Then, the white-clad figure in their field of vision magnified in their pupils.

Like a falling snowflake, light yet carrying an unstoppable force.

The next second, a soft body pounced into Shen Shuchou's arms and hugged him tightly.

The sudden embrace left Shen Shuchou somewhat bewildered; his hands froze in mid-air, unsure of what to do.

Luo Shisan's trembling voice rang in his ears again: "Brother, I've finally found you."

Luo Shisan's voice trembled, filled with endless longing and excitement, as if this cry had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

Each word was like a scalding teardrop, falling into Shen Shuchou's heart, causing his heart to tremble.

"Luo Shisan".

As Shen Shuchou felt the trembling body in his arms, a name popped into his mind.

Luo Shisan, also known as the fourth incarnation of the villainous female protagonist.

The fourth incarnation differs slightly from the first three.

In the first three lifetimes, Shen Shuchou searched for the female lead and kept her by his side until she grew up.

But the fourth life was different; she was raised by Luo Shisan from a young age.

When I first met him, he was wrapped in dirty bedding and carelessly abandoned by the roadside.

She was later found by Luo Shisan, who was thirteen years old that year. From then on, Shen Shuchou followed her around.

While Luo Shisan's background may not be as tragic as that of the female protagonists in the previous three lives, there are still some similarities.

Luo Shisan is the thirteenth princess of the Holy Dynasty. Her father, Luo Tianyang, is the strongest cultivator in the entire dynasty, and even in the entire continent.

Logically speaking, as a princess of such a dynasty, Luo Shisan should enjoy wealth and luxury and have no worries about food and clothing.

In any of these aspects, it is far superior to the tragic backgrounds of female protagonists like Jiang Qianqiu.

But that's not actually the case. Although Luo Shisan is a princess, her quality of life is even lower than that of some merchants.

Luo Shisan's birth was entirely shrouded in the shadow of a conspiracy.

At that time, Luo Tianyang was the strongest person on the entire continent, and his dynasty was full of powerful figures. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that he would attract the envy of other forces.

However, due to Luo Tianyang's power, other forces could only secretly admire him and dared not take any substantial action against him.

It wasn't until a heretical organization called the Black Nether Cult suddenly emerged that a true conspiracy was launched against the Holy Dynasty.

The Black Nether Cult's method was simple: first, they sent the cult's holy maiden to serve as a maid to Emperor Luo Tianyang.

This first step alone took the Black Nether Sect several years, with several holy maidens dying before a capable candidate was finally placed by Luo Tianyang's side.

Since then, the saintess has been influencing his inner desires daily with a technique that even a powerful figure like Luo Tianyang couldn't detect.

Time passed by little by little until one day, Luo Tianyang finally made a mistake during a cultivation session and had a relationship with that holy maiden.

Afterwards, Luo Tianyang didn't take it seriously, while the saintess had already escaped with the secret help of the Black Nether Sect.

To prevent Luo Tianyang from becoming suspicious, he specially left behind an identical puppet.

Luo Shisan was born from this conspiracy and is the most important link in the whole conspiracy.

The Black Nether Cult wanted to use this method to make the Holy Maiden pregnant with Luo Tianyang's dragon child.

Then, using a secret method that defies the heavens, the infant's aptitude is forcibly raised to an unimaginable level. As his cultivation level increases, he will inevitably suffer the punishment of heavenly tribulation in the later stages.

However, that was still a long way off. For the Black Nether Cult, completing this step first was crucial. Finally, they would implant a very secret mark into the infant's body for easy control.

Once everything was in place, the baby was quietly sent back to the palace, and the illusion of the maid's death was created.

Once this child grows up, he can compete with others for the throne and vie for the imperial bloodline.

Finally, they will work together with the Black Nether Cult to gradually corrupt the Holy Dynasty.

However, to the Black Nether Cult's utter surprise, the conspiracy ended abruptly at the very beginning because of Luo Shisan's female gender.

On the mainland, regardless of the dynasty, there was a clear set of regulations.

That is, women are not allowed to participate in the struggle for the throne, and in the long history of dynasties, no dynasty has ever had an empress.

Since the matter had failed, the Black Nether Cult prepared to kill the saintess.

But things took an unexpected turn here; the holy maiden somehow managed to run back to the imperial court.

She also told Luo Tianyang everything about the Black Nether Sect. Her actions were not only to save her own life, but also to covet the position of the Imperial Concubine.

However, she underestimated Luo Tianyang. Upon hearing this, Luo Tianyang did not hesitate at all and immediately killed the holy maiden.

The Black Nether Sect also suffered from Luo Tianyang's wrath and was subjected to endless suppression, with almost all of its cultivators dying.

As for the still ignorant Luo Shisan, Luo Tianyang did not choose to kill her.

This wasn't out of pity; he simply wanted to use Luo Shisan to lure out the remaining remnants of the Black Nether Cult.

Little did they know that from the moment Luo Shisan was born, he had already become an outcast of the Black Nether Cult.

Even to Luo Tianyang, she was just a dispensable pawn, easily annihilated with a flick of the finger.

But she did have Luo Tianyang's bloodline in her body, and was also the thirteenth heir of the dynasty.

That's how the name Luo Shisan came about in such a hasty manner.

Luo Shisan was born amidst a conspiracy; from the moment of her birth, she was an abandoned pawn.

Having never experienced any family affection, she wandered alone in indifference and loneliness, like a weed growing in a dark corner, tenacious yet full of sorrow.

Having grown up in isolation, Luo Shisan had built high walls around his heart, isolating himself from the warmth of the outside world.

Until she met Shen Shuchou, who was also a discarded pawn, it was as if she saw a glimmer of light in the endless darkness.

Their meeting was both a matter of fate and a mutual redemption.

But in the end, the scene that shocked the world happened to Luo Shisan.

Neither the Black Nether Sect nor Luo Tianyang could have imagined that the person who would ultimately overthrow the Holy Dynasty and ascend to the throne was none other than Luo Shisan, whom they had treated as a pawn.
