After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

The Holy Dynasty, 1047.

This year was turbulent and dramatic, a year in which the world changed dramatically.

The wind howled and the dark clouds rolled in, as if the heavens and earth were trembling with fear at the impending catastrophe.

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, one could almost hear the whispers of heaven and earth.

This year was also the most prosperous year for the Holy Dynasty.

Luo Tianyang stood atop Mount Tianshan and broke through to the position of Great Emperor, his imperial might sweeping across the entire continent.

He stood tall and proud in the sky, his body radiating light like a dazzling sun.

That overwhelming imperial might, like a surging tide, swept across the sky and the earth, causing all things to prostrate themselves and all living beings to tremble in fear wherever it went.

He proclaimed himself emperor, calling himself Holy Heaven.

The moment this name was uttered, its fame resounded throughout the world. The entire continent trembled under its majestic name, yet it was filled with endless reverence and anticipation.

It was springtime, and an unexpected light rain fell, wetting the quiet, muddy path through the woods.

The path meanders and twists, like a sleeping snake, lying quietly in the embrace of the woods.

Raindrops fall on the leaves, making a crisp sound, like a symphony of nature.

The trees lining the path were lush and green, their leaves even greener after the rain, as if they had been given new life.

On the muddy path, a series of footprints of varying depths were left, and rainwater mixed with the mud formed small puddles.

Reflecting the sky and trees, it's like a series of mirrors.

Occasionally, a few petals drift down into the mirror, adding a touch of poetry to the scene.

"Miss, let's go back, otherwise His Majesty might worry about you."

Just then, a clear female voice rang out on the forest path.

"I already told you, call me Young Master."

As the female voice faded, another voice, tinged with dissatisfaction but slightly immature, rang out.

Immediately afterwards, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared one after the other on the forest path after the rain.

Walking in front was a girl dressed in white, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Her figure was light and graceful, like a fairy dancing, and she looked especially beautiful in the fresh air after the rain.

The girl's white dress fluttered in the wind, like a blooming white lotus, pure and beautiful.

Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with her steps.

Her face was as white as jade, her features were exquisite, and her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with a lively light.

Following behind the girl in white was a woman in green.

The woman in green had a slender and delicate figure, with a waist so thin it seemed as if it could be grasped with a single hand.

Her arms and legs have smooth lines, firm muscles, and are full of power.

The woman in green had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and slightly pursed lips, yet she could not hide her helplessness.

The long sword at her waist swayed gently as she walked, the patterns on the scabbard shimmering in the sunlight.

The sword was long and sharp, gleaming with a cold light that sent chills down one's spine.

The woman in green gently placed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, as if she were ready to draw it at any moment.

"Qingyu, you're overthinking it. Besides, would he care about me? He probably wouldn't even care if I died out here."

The girl in white gave a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, the woman named Qingyu fell silent.

Looking at that delicate figure in front of him, a slight bitterness welled up in his heart.

She knew all about the girl's background; in fact, Qingyu had been by her side since the girl was four or five years old.

Despite having a status that the world envies, the girl is actually like a bird imprisoned in a cage.

She is none other than Luo Shisan, the thirteenth princess of the current most powerful Holy Dynasty.

Thinking of Luo Shisan's father, who was the strongest person in the world at the Great Emperor level, Qing Yu's eyes showed a hint of reverence.

However, despite being the daughter of a great emperor, Luo Shisan received no favor whatsoever.

On the surface, it appears to be free-range, but every day there is a pair of eyes secretly watching this place.

Although Qingyu felt sorry for Luo Shisan, she was just a minor cultivator at the Golden Core stage, so how could she change anything?

"Waaaaah..."

Just then, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from the quiet path.

"Hey, someone's crying."

Upon hearing the voice, Luo Shisan's eyes widened in surprise.

They immediately pinpointed the direction of the sound and were about to go forward to investigate.

"Miss, you absolutely mustn't!"

Qingyu stepped in front of Luo Shisan, drawing his longsword abruptly.

She stared coldly at the place hidden by the grass.

Qingyu clearly didn't believe it was a baby crying. In broad daylight, in such a desolate and sparsely populated place, how could there be crying?

And the fact that she cried just as they passed by made it hard for Qingyu not to feel that something was strange about this place.

But then I thought, who would have the audacity to cause trouble here?

Although she was a peak Golden Core cultivator, she still had to be careful in everything she did.

Thinking this, Qingyu instantly covered the entire area with a wisp of divine sense, but there was no other aura present, only a single weak life form.

"Miss, let's go."

Even so, Qingyu still didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Of course, she couldn't leave Luo Shisan waiting for her there, so she went to check on him alone.

The safest course of action right now is to leave this place.

"Waaaaaah...."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, the crying became even louder and more urgent.

"He's so pitiful, please take me to see him if you're alright."

Luo Shisan's face showed a hint of reluctance.

For some reason, she felt sorry for the crying and couldn't help but feel pity for it.

Seeing Luo Shisan's act of kindness, Qingyu could only look on helplessly.

But in the end, unable to resist Luo Shisan's pleas, he carefully led her closer to the concealed area.

Qingyu gently parted the dense grass with her longsword and cautiously explored forward.

As the grass parted, a clear stream appeared before their eyes.

The river flows gently, its surface shimmering and sparkling under the sunlight.

On the riverbank, the two found the source of the crying: a small figure lying there quietly.

He was tightly wrapped in a tattered quilt.

The baby's face was covered in mud, making it almost impossible to see its original appearance, but its innocent big eyes were particularly eye-catching.

Upon seeing two women, one adult and one child, appear before them, the baby's loud wailing abruptly ceased.

Whether it was Qingyu's imagination or not, she suddenly saw a strange look in the baby's big eyes, as if the baby was waiting for her.

Name: Shen Shuchou.

Cultivation level: Mortal.

World: Fourth Generation, Holy Dynasty.

Female lead: Luo Shisan.

The baby was none other than Shen Shuchou, who had come from the third incarnation.

At this moment, he looked at the system panel and cursed inwardly.

After the third life ended, Shen Shuchou began to speculate about what the fourth life would be like and what role he would play in it.

Despite Shen Shuchou's numerous guesses, he never expected that in the fourth life, he would appear as an infant.

Shen Shuchou was wrapped tightly in the blankets, and could not move any part of his body except his facial features.

Fortunately, according to the system's prompts, he won't have to wait many more years to see the female lead in this life.

Shen Shuchou blinked his big eyes, staring at the little girl in white in front of him.

The system had just told him about the female lead in this life.

The thirteenth princess of the most powerful dynasty in the world, and seeing this situation, Shen Shuchou also understood that in this life he was the one being raised.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuchou immediately grinned and showed a smile to Luo Shisan.

To everyone's surprise, a hint of disdain flashed in Luo Shisan's bright eyes as he said, "How can he be so ugly!"

Shen Shuchou: "???"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou's smile froze slightly.

"Huh? He seems to understand what I'm saying."

Luo Shisan clearly noticed the change in Shen Shuchou's expression.

She immediately found the baby quite interesting, and without caring about the dirt, she took her little feet and walked straight to Shen Shuchou.

Luo Shisan noticed a sign hanging around Shen Shuchou's neck and curiously picked it up to take a look.

There are only three words on it: Shen Shuchou.

"Your name is Shen Shuchou? That sounds awful! Why don't you take my surname? My name is Luo Shisan, and you can be called Luo Shisi from now on."

Luo Shisan said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou remained unmoved, but Qingyu's expression immediately changed drastically.

"Miss, this is absolutely not allowed."

Upon hearing Qingyu's objection, Luo Shisan immediately showed a hint of displeasure and said, "You're going to interfere with my affairs too?"

"It's not that Qingyu is in charge of you, but the Luo surname is the royal family's surname, and it must not be given to others lightly, otherwise disaster will befall you."

Qingyu clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Luo Shisan tilted his head and thought about it. It seemed to make sense. Nowadays, there were only two kinds of people with the surname Luo on the mainland.

The first type is people of royal blood, such as Luo Shisan, who has a direct blood relationship with Luo Tianyang.

The second type is that only those in high positions of power in the imperial court are granted the surname Luo, and only Luo Tianyang himself can possess this unique right.

Luo Tianyang is now a powerful Emperor Realm expert who transcends the Heavenly Dao. He is also blessed by the Dragon Vein. Under the influence of the power of the Emperor's Law, Luo is no longer just a surname.

Those who acquire the surname Luo will not only receive the nourishment of dragon energy, prolonging their lives, but will also achieve twice the results with half the effort in cultivation.

Even an ordinary person without any talent can become a dazzling genius overnight as long as they obtain the surname Luo.

As for the others with the surname Luo, they will all be stripped of their rights under the power of the law.

"Fine! Then I won't use the surname Luo. Shen Shuchou is an unpleasant name, so be it."

Luo Shisan looked sullen and unhappy.

"Miss, are you going to adopt him?"

Seeing Luo Shisan's expression, Qingyu was somewhat incredulous.

"What's wrong? Is this not working either?"

Luo Shisan's face instantly turned cold.

"Qingyu believes that given Miss's current situation, it is not advisable to do this. It would be better to give the baby boy to someone else."

Qingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Qingyu's words were not without reason. Given Luo Shisan's unfavored status, he was even less favored than some of the more important officials in the palace. He was already a caged bird, so why should he take on a burden?

Moreover, in Qingyu's opinion, it would be better to give the baby to any family; the baby would live longer than if the baby stayed in the palace.

These words did not shake Luo Shisan's resolve; on the contrary, they strengthened his determination to adopt Shen Shuchou.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to make him my younger brother."

Luo Shisan said with an extremely serious expression.

Hearing these words, Qingyu's lips moved as if she wanted to say something to dissuade him, but then she heard Luo Shisan's voice again.

"It's okay if your family doesn't want you anymore. My family doesn't want me either. From now on, I'll be your sister. You can come with me. If you agree, then smile, okay?"

Hearing this, Qingyu felt a pang of sadness again, but this time she did not choose to stop her.

Meanwhile, Luo Shisan looked down at Shen Shuchou, then reached out and gently pinched the corners of Shen Shuchou's mouth with both hands, and then pulled them slightly.
