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

The wind and snow in the frigid wilderness had stopped for the first time, as if even heaven and earth had fallen silent at that moment.

The silvery-white world was quiet, with only the occasional howling of the biting wind leaving a trace of chilliness.

It was the same snow valley cabin, the same familiar space, and Shen Shuchou and Wu Qinghan were still there.

However, this time, their roles have been reversed.

Shen Shuchou stood by the bed, his gaze fixed on the unconscious Fifth Qinghan lying on the bed.

With her eyes slightly closed, tear tracks were clearly visible. The pitiful Fifth Qinghan before Shen Shuchou made it difficult for him to associate her with her previous mad appearance.

Just like their first encounter in the heavy snow, when Fifth Qinghan was led out by Fifth Shushuang.

She clutched the hem of her clothes, her head lowered, her bright eyes cautiously probing as she glanced at Shen Shuchou from time to time.

At that time, she was like a small flower swaying in the cold wind, delicate and lovable.

Shen Shuchou never imagined that the timid little Qinghan back then would develop such a chilling and suffocating morbid state in her bones a few years later.

But no matter what, no matter what Fifth Qinghan did to him during the three months he imprisoned him, those painful memories were now overshadowed by the miserable state before him.

Seeing her like this now, Shen Shuchou still felt pity for her from the bottom of his heart.

This is not only about her tragic background and painful experiences, but also about her destiny in this world as Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou sat gently on the edge of the bed, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He moved very gently, afraid of disturbing her.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch her face, Fifth Qinghan suddenly reached out and tightly grasped his large hand like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline.

A hint of panic flickered across her pale face. Her tightly closed, pale lips trembled slightly as she murmured, "Brother Shen, did Qinghan do something wrong? Qinghan only... only wanted Brother Shen to have only me in his heart..."

Shen Shuchou's eyes narrowed, and he placed his palm on the back of her hand, clearly feeling the mad, trapped beast-like heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Her demonic heart was damaged, and he had to expend a great deal of his true energy to barely stabilize her.

Her demonic heart is now restless again, and if she is not careful, it will cause irreversible damage.

Shen Shuchou leaned down slightly and murmured softly in that voice she knew so well: "Qinghan did nothing wrong. Listen to me, get some sleep, and everything will be alright."

Even though it was just a clone, the voice was exactly the same as his original voice.

Fifth Qinghan's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed after hearing that familiar comforting voice.

Even though she was still unconscious, the demonic heart in her chest, like a fierce beast being gently soothed, slowly calmed down.

Shen Shuchou guarded Fifth Qinghan, and only when he saw that her demonic heart was gradually stabilizing did his tense body relax slightly.

The flickering candlelight inside the small wooden house cast his long shadow on the carved wooden wall.

This time, no one will bother them, but this is still not the situation Shen Shuchou wants to see.

In the blink of an eye! A month has passed.

For the past month, Shen Shuchou seemed to be isolated from the outside world, not going anywhere, but staying by Fifth Qinghan's side the whole time.

Looking at her sleeping face, he felt a mix of emotions—pity, helplessness, and a touch of something indescribable.

Only today, when Fifth Qinghan showed signs of waking up, did Shen Shuchou finally push open the door to the room that had been closed for a month.

The crisp, cold air rushed towards him, and as he gazed at the snow falling again in the valley, his thoughts drifted far away.

He had no intention of taking Fifth Qinghan back. She was an unstable bomb right now, and who knew what kind of storm she would cause if she returned to the Shen family.

Rather than that, it would be better to leave her alone outside for the time being.

Shen Shuchou glanced back at Fifth Qinghan, who was still lying there, one last time, before resolutely leaving the place.

For the past month, he has been using this clone, while he himself remains in a coma.

Just as Shen Shuchou left, Fifth Qinghan on the bed seemed to have a sudden realization.

She suddenly murmured, "Brother Shen...don't leave me...don't..."

Those tightly closed eyes trembled with difficulty, as if making a final struggle to open them and see that person.

Until the sound of wind and snow outside the window gradually drowned out her faint voice, which then disturbed her senses.

This finally forced her to open her eyes, which had been closed for a month.

"Brother Shen."

Fifth Qinghan shouted loudly, his voice filled with anxiety and longing.

The sound echoed in the room and reached her ears again, but there was no response from another voice.

"No, no, don't leave me."

Fifth Qinghan got out of bed like a madwoman, her steps unsteady, as if she had lost all support.

She clearly felt it; she felt that her beloved Brother Shen was always by her side.

But why was he gone again when she woke up?

"Why... Is it possible... that my sister is really that good?"

Fifth Qinghan's tears soaked her pale face, her eyes filled with pain and confusion.

"In what way does Qinghan fall short of her sister?"

Fifth Qinghan clutched his heart in pain, as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, each beat accompanied by excruciating pain.

She came to the door, pushed it open, and looked at the marks left on the threshold. Her pained expression slowly turned into a smile.

She knew it wasn't an illusion; Brother Shen really had been with her all along.

Even if he leaves now, Fifth Qinghan can definitely take him away completely again.

The moment Fifth Qinghan opened his eyes, the original body of the Shen family in Fangzhou City also opened its eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is a frail figure standing against the back, arguing with another figure about something.

The constant noise echoing in his ears made his head throb.

"You and your sister are both a menace. Why did you both show up here? If it weren't for your brother Shen, how could things have turned out like this?"

That was Xia Lingyi's voice, sharp and resentful.

She glared at Fifth Shushuang in front of her and coldly rebuked him.

For the past month since returning to the Shen residence, Fifth Shushuang has been staying by Shen Shuchou's side.

She stayed by his side day and night, hoping he would wake up soon.

Little did they know that Shen Shuchou had actually been by Fifth Qinghan's side all along.

During this month, Fifth Shushuang also suffered a lot of verbal abuse from Xia Lingyi.

Every time those harsh words pierced her ears, she wanted to retort, but the words stuck in her throat.

Just as Xia Lingyi said, perhaps she and her sister really are a menace.

She brought disaster to the Fifth Family and also caused Brother Shen to become like this.

"sorry!"

Fifth Shu Shuang clenched her fists slightly and whispered, her voice full of self-blame and guilt, her hands turning white from the force.

Seeing Fifth Shushuang's appearance, Xia Lingyi had no intention of letting her off so easily. Instead, she continued viciously, "If anything really happens to Brother Shen because of this, I will definitely kill you."

Shen Shuchou, whose consciousness had just returned to his body, frowned slightly and then said, "Enough!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of the two women.

Fifth Sister quickly turned her head, leaning forward as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms, something she had been longing for day and night for the past month.

But then he remembered something and abruptly stopped himself from doing so.

But a smile eventually appeared on that haggard face, a smile that contained both joy and bitterness.

However, it was precisely because of her interruption that Xia Lingyi had an opportunity.

Xia Lingyi rushed to the bedside and squeezed past Wu Shushuang. She threw herself into Shen Shuchou's arms and said, "Waaah... Brother Shen, are you alright? Is anything bothering you? Did that bitch Wu Qinghan do anything to you?"

She cried with tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with concern and anger.

Shen Shuchou remained silent, instead turning his gaze to Fifth Shushuang.

He saw the slight evasive look in her eyes and felt a little helpless.

But he could guess why. He sighed inwardly, withdrew his gaze, and pushed Xia Lingyi away, sitting up from the bed.
