A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 129 You Are Not Her (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Shen Tang was stunned. She subconsciously looked around, but couldn't find Xue Yinzhou.

"Wasn't he supposed to be training in the Acid Mist Swamp? How did he end up in the palace? Is there something wrong with your system?"

[The system's investigation is absolutely correct! I really sensed his presence just now, huh... and then he suddenly disappeared.] The system was also a little suspicious, but unfortunately Xue Yinzhou wasn't among the targets, and its search capabilities were limited, so it couldn't find out his exact whereabouts.

Shen Tang was filled with mixed emotions. She had thought that she would never have the chance to meet him again after they parted ways. If Xue Yinzhou really came to the palace, she didn't know how to face him if they happened to meet someday.

Facing my soon-to-be ex-husband is so awkward.

But since the two haven't officially divorced yet and have spent so much time together, Shen Tang can't treat Xue Yinzhou as a complete stranger.

Shen Tang thought for a moment and said, "Next time you hear news about him, you... tell me immediately!"

【Good host. 】

Shen Tang took in the reactions of the crowd below the stage and was very satisfied. She deserved full marks for disrupting the event this time. Shen Qingli was probably furious right now.

If there weren't so many people around, Shen Qingli probably would have rushed up and torn her face off.

Shen Tang glanced at the four scoundrels again. Very good, they have good husbandly virtues, they didn't even look at the female lead.

To be fair, Shen Qingli really brought this upon herself. If she hadn't done that stupid thing, Jialan and the others might have actually fallen for her.

Unfortunately, people only remember the first place.

Her actions completely disrupted the plan. Jialan, who is obsessed with good looks, had her standards raised and found it difficult to notice her.

This is what they call "lifting a brick only to drop it on your own foot."

Ignoring Shen Qingli's gloomy and resentful expression, Shen Tang gracefully walked off the stage amidst a throng of gazes.

A tall, imposing figure blocked her way.

Shen Xu coldly questioned, "Shen Tang! What exactly is going on here!"

Shen Tang frowned as she looked at the man in front of her. Shen Xu was quite good-looking, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and handsome features. He had a very masculine appearance.

While not as stunning as Jialan and the others, she was still an exceptional individual among the crowd.

But at this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy, which ruined a bit of the beauty.

Shen Tang spoke calmly, "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Shen Xu pulled out a photo of the two of them and coldly questioned, "You never looked like this before. What have you been through in the past year? Why have you changed... become like this?"

Shen Tang glanced at the photo and was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that Shen Xu would still keep the photo of him and the original owner.

However, recalling his indifference towards the original owner, he was also an accomplice who indirectly led her to extremes.

Shen Tang's brows furrowed, and she said impatiently, "What, do I need to announce my plastic surgery to the whole world? If the Crown Prince has nothing better to do, he can go and repair those old, dilapidated houses in the palace. What are you trying to do by blocking me here?"

Shen Xu's voice trailed off, making it difficult for him to speak.

His surprised gaze fell on Shen Tang's face. Could this be the effect of plastic surgery?
Her appearance, figure, and overall demeanor are completely different from before; it's as if she's become a different person.

Seeing Shen Xu staring intently at her, Shen Tang suddenly smiled playfully, "Doesn't Your Highness prefer me the way I am now?"

She saw it clearly from the stage; the man's eyes were full of amazement, yet also seemed to contain a hint of regret.

Shen Xu preferred Shen Qingli because she was prettier than the original owner of this body. He liked pretty younger sisters, which made him increasingly dislike the original owner, even finding her ugly and ignoring her completely. Shen Xu was speechless. He stared intently at Shen Tang, his Adam's apple bobbing, "No, you are not my little sister, A-Tang!"

A hint of pain and regret appeared in his eyes.

Shen Tang sneered coldly, "That's right, I'm not your sister Tang. Your sister Tang died in the polluted land long ago!"

"You! What nonsense are you spouting? Who are you?" Shen Xu's eyes turned red.

Shen Tang curled her lips into a cold smile, "I am Shen Tang. What, do I need to show my identification? Or do I need a blood test to prove my kinship?"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and realized, "I forgot that we are not siblings at all, and there is no way to prove our kinship through blood. What are you doing, a complete stranger to me, making trouble for me? Don't block my way, get out of here."

"Ah Tang! How did you become like this!"

Shen Xu rushed forward, gripping her shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with remorse. "I was wrong before. I shouldn't have neglected you, but I've always kept you in my heart. It's just that I felt Qingli had suffered so much outside for so many years, and the family had let her down, so I wanted to show her more care. But I really didn't mean it..."

Shen Tang was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and pushed Shen Xu away. The original owner was gone, so what was the point of him saying these things now?

Undeterred, Shen Xu continued to pester her, but the next second, Shen Tang was pulled into a tall, warm embrace.

Xiao Jin coldly glanced at Shen Xu, whose expression was unfriendly, and smiled wickedly and coldly, "It's not good for the Crown Prince to openly flirt with a strange female. If others see it, it's not a good idea."

Shen Xu clenched his fists, his face grim. "She's my sister! What right do you have to say that!"

Xiao Jin sneered, "I'm her beastly husband!"

Shen Xu was speechless, and his face turned even uglier.

Shen Li walked over slowly, her fox tail swaying gently, a half-smile on her face. "Little Tang'er is no longer the princess of the empire. There is no brother-sister relationship between you and her."

Lu Xiao also came over and silently added, "Even if they are really siblings, what kind of behavior is it to pull and tug at each other in public? Your Highness must not ruin your reputation."

Shen Xu stared at them with a sullen face, unable to utter a single word.

Finally, he gave Shen Tang a sorrowful look before turning and leaving.

Shen Tang looked completely bewildered.

Shen Tang followed Shen Li and the others to their seats at the banquet. As the banquet gradually returned to order, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Host, I have just sensed another Charisma buff being used.]

Shen Tang became wary. Could it be that someone else besides her was bound to the system?

"Who did you sense that from?" Shen Tang glanced at the stage out of the corner of her eye, a guess forming in her mind.

As expected, the system replied, "[Shen Qingli.]"

Shen Tang was surprised. Was the female lead also bound to the system?
It wasn't mentioned in the original work, but it's possible, considering that she always seemed to find the injured and alone male protagonist and take care of him.

Shen Tang used to think it was the female lead's halo, but now she thinks that there are no such coincidences in this world.

If Shen Qingli always went to woo the male lead through system prompts, it would make more sense.

Shen Tang suddenly realized something and her expression turned tense. "Then can her system sense you?"
