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

"Little brother, did I scare you?"

At this moment, Luo Shisan's white clothes were stained with scattered bloodstains, which looked like blooming red plum blossoms, particularly glaring against the white clothes.

Even her face was flushed, adding a touch of fierce beauty to her appearance.

However, Luo Shisan's eyes were gentle at this moment, forming a stark contrast with the bloodstains on his body.

That gentleness seemed capable of melting away the snow and ice, making people forget her ruthlessness and cruelty just moments before.

"With my sister here, I'm not afraid."

Shen Shuchou shook his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's eyes warmed slightly, and he held Shen Shuchou tightly in his arms.

For Luo Shisan, she had no relatives since she was a child.

As for his father, whom he had never met, he was already like a dead man in Luo Shisan's heart.

Luo Shisan didn't harbor any resentment towards Luo Tianyang.

Her brothers and sisters have always enjoyed bullying her since she was a child, and even now, in their hearts, Luo Shisan is still nothing more than a source of amusement.

Under their orders, even an ordinary maid dared to hit him.

Whether it's physical bullying or verbal abuse, Luo Shisan will choose to endure it all alone and then avoid them in solitude.

She swallowed all the humiliation and pain alone, licking her wounds in a secluded corner.

But things are different now. Luo Shisan is no longer a lone wolf. She has family now, and she has a younger brother to protect.

Those people can bully her, Luo Shisan.

But you can't bully her younger brother, Luo Shisan.

A single sword strike to the throat, blood blooming in the cold snow, a furious killing—this was Luo Shisan's answer to them.

This sword was picked up by Luo Shisan to protect her younger brother, and it was also the first step in her rebellion.

From then on, she stopped being submissive and allowed herself to be exploited; she decided to use her own strength.

To provide a peaceful haven for her younger brother, even if the road ahead is fraught with thorns, even if it means going against the entire world.

Perhaps because he was protecting his younger brother, Luo Shisan was not greatly shocked even though it was his first time killing someone.

In her heart, her brother's safety was paramount, and all other emotions were overshadowed by this intense concern.

He felt no guilt or fear at the life he had just ended; all he felt was concern for his younger brother's safety.

"Come on, let's go have dinner together."

After a long while, Luo Shisan reluctantly let go of her younger brother; it wasn't evening yet.

As he spoke, Luo Shisan gently took Shen Shuchou's small hand, the warm touch conveying a sense of security and protection.

They trudged through the wind and snow, the snow crunching under their feet as if telling the story of their sincere feelings.

One large and one small, one tall and one short, they appeared so harmonious amidst the swirling snowflakes.

They walked slowly forward and gradually disappeared from sight.

Standing still, Qingyu watched the two leave, then glanced briefly at the cold corpses lying on the ground.

"The vast expanse of frost and snow reflects a murderous intent."

"A single sword strike to the throat draws blood like rain."

"Blood stains the cold snow like plum blossoms in bloom."

"A fierce killing intent filled the universe."

Qingyu stood quietly beside the corpse, a faint smile playing on her lips.

That smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright, as if it could melt the surrounding ice and snow.

Her voice was softer than falling snow, like celestial music coming from the distant horizon.

At this moment, Qingyu was filled with relief. In her eyes, Luo Shisan finally dared to resist.

In the past, when Luo Shisan was bullied, Qingyu had advised her more than once to fight back: "If you don't fight back, others will only bully you endlessly."

But every time, Luo Shisan would calmly tell her it was okay.

However, only Luo Shisan truly knew the grievances hidden behind that feigned indifference.

The pain buried deep in her heart was like thorns quietly growing in the dark night, piercing her soul time and time again, yet she had nowhere to confide in.

Qingyu also knew that the person who could make Luo Shisan change was Shen Shuchou.

She suddenly felt that perhaps it really was as Luo Shisan said, that it was all an arrangement of fate.

That mysterious force, like an invisible thread, quietly guides the trajectory of their lives.

Shen Shuchou's appearance changed the cowardly Luo Shisan, while Luo Shisan's appearance saved Shen Shuchou's life.

Like two lonely stars shining in the darkness, they converged due to the intertwining of fates, and shone with brilliant light.

Through fate's arrangement, this brother and sister redeemed each other.

After a laugh, Qingyu's true energy surged, and a tremendous power burst forth instantly.

The corpses and blood on the ground were quickly swept away as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand.

Meanwhile, Luo Shisi, having suffered such humiliation, angrily chose to go to the Forbidden City.

Her beautiful face was now contorted with rage, her heart filled with resentment towards Luo Shisan, and she vowed to make her father, the emperor, take charge and severely punish Luo Shisan.

As a princess, Luo Shisi was not stopped by anyone along the way.

She walked briskly through the grand halls, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

Finally, Luo Shisi stopped outside the magnificent and imposing Forbidden City, took a deep breath, and prepared to step into the hall to lodge a complaint.

"Luo Shisi?"

But at that moment, a voice suddenly called out to her. The voice echoed outside the palace, carrying a hint of doubt and concern.

Luo Shisi looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a young man dressed in Taoist robes smiling and watching her.

The young man wore a Taoist hat and a moon-white Taoist robe, his clothes fluttering, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air.

His face wore a gentle and kind smile, and his eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see into Luo Shisi's heart.

Upon seeing this person, Luo Shisi was slightly puzzled at first, but then felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.

"What, you don't recognize your seventh brother after only five years?"

The young Taoist priest took in Luo Shisi's expression and smiled slightly.

His voice was gentle and mellow, with a hint of teasing.

These words were spoken.

Luo Shisi slowly overlapped the figure of the Taoist priest in front of her with the figure of her seventh brother in her memory.

Her gaze gradually cleared from initial confusion, and her thoughts seemed to pierce through the mists of time.

"Seventh Brother, it really is you!"

Luo Shisi immediately showed an excited expression and blurted it out, then took steps to run towards him.

"Seventh Brother, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me? I could have come to greet you."

Luo Shisi jumped up excitedly.

The young Taoist priest before them was none other than the seventh prince of the current dynasty, Luo Qingchuan.

Excluding the top three princes, the remaining ten princes and princesses are not much different in age.

Luo Shisi is twenty-two this year, and Luo Qingchuan is twenty-six.

Among these princes and princesses, Luo Qingchuan was the one with the best relationship with Luo Shisi.

"I just got back, I just finished talking to my father and was about to go find you when you appeared."

Luo Qingchuan still had a slight smile on his lips.

That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel incredibly warm and friendly.
