Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The monster is not a real monster. She is Liu Yingxue, the courtesan of Begonia Tower in Yangzhou twenty years ago.

Liu Yingxue was stunningly beautiful back then and was famous all over the world. Countless people admired her, from high-ranking nobles to wealthy young men, but she never took them seriously.

The man she loved was just a poor, pale-faced scholar.

The scholar was forced by his classmates to go to Haitang Tower to see the world. It was his first time in such a romantic place and he was extremely uncomfortable. He shyly avoided the touch of the girls in the brothel.

Just then, Liu Yingxue appeared.

Liu Yingxue saw that the scholar had just arrived at a place of brothels and did not want to have fun, so she talked with him about poetry, books, rituals and music for the whole night.

The scholar admired Liu Yingxue's talent, but also felt pity for her miserable life.

Afterwards, he often came to Haitang Tower to meet Liu Yingxue. The two of them were in love but polite to each other, and they were in love with each other.

The scholar is going to the imperial city to take the imperial examination.

Before leaving, the scholar said that he would come back to redeem Liu Yingxue and marry her after he graduated from high school, and leave the family heirloom to her as a token of trust.

Liu Yingxue waited for a year. She damaged her throat with charcoal ash and forced her mother to promise her that she would no longer accept customers.

She was looking forward to it with all her heart, and finally got the news that the scholar had won the third place in the imperial examination, but the scholar never came back.

Later, when she heard the news that the newly-crowned scholar was going to marry the princess, she became disheartened and became terminally ill. She died on a cold night holding the scholar's token in her hand.

The token has spiritual power. When Liu Yingxue died, her blood dripped onto it, and her soul did not dissipate.

She began to practice with the help of the token, and came to Jian'an to look for the scholar. Unfortunately, there was no news of the scholar, so she sent people to build the incense pavilion.

While Liu Yingxue was looking for the scholar, she was also taking in a woman who was abandoned by her heartless lover.

Twenty years have passed, Liu Yingxue's resentment is too deep, and her demonization has worsened. She began to hate all the unfaithful men and became extreme.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I lied to you." The boss burst into tears.

"Lie to me, what did you lie to me about?"

"I took the money that Master Chen gave to redeem you." The boss's name was Liu Yixiu, and she was also the girl from Haitanglou back then.

Back then, she was not well-known in Haitang Building. After Liu Yingxue stopped accepting customers, she started to attract some customers by using a name similar to Liu Yingxue.

One day, a young man called her by name, and the first thing he asked was if her name was Liu Yingxue. She somehow agreed.

The young man took out 50,000 taels of silver and gave it to her, saying that it was Chen Zijian who redeemed her.

She knew that Chen Zijian was the person Liu Yingxue had been waiting for.

She asked where Chen Zijian was, and the young master told her that Chen Zijian was dead, the day after he became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and was beaten to death by a group of thugs.

The young master also told her that before Chen Zijian died, he held his hand tightly and asked him to give the silver to Liu Yingxue.

Chen Zijian has no parents or relatives, and the only person he cares about in his life is Liu Yingxue.

When the money that was supposed to be used to redeem Liu Yingxue was put into her hands, she began to panic, yet was reluctant to hand it over.

In the end, she made the best of a bad situation and used the money to redeem herself.

After learning of Liu Yingxue's death, she lived in regret every day.

Until one day, Liu Yingxue came to her and asked her to become the owner of Zangxiang Pavilion.

She felt indebted to Liu Yingxue. Even though she knew that Liu Yingxue had become a monster and that Cangxiang Pavilion was no ordinary brothel, she still condoned and covered up all of this.

Now that she had said everything, she was finally free.

"Dead? Hahaha, you tell me Chen Zijian is dead?" Liu Yingxue laughed loudly, but tears kept flowing out.

She thought Chen Zijian had let her down, but she didn't expect that he had died long ago, and the third place winner who married the princess was not him.

It turned out that she had always misunderstood him. What was the point of her living then?

Liu Yingxue took out the fragments of the Floating and Sinking Realm and restored the girls that she had turned into puppets to their original state.

Then, she mobilized her demonic power and both her soul and body were destroyed.

As soon as Liu Yingxue died, the Cangxiang Pavilion was instantly filled with evil spirits.

The monsters in the pavilion lost their shelter and all ran away. Fortunately, these monsters only sucked the essence of men and did not kill people for money.

Shen Zhaozhao felt mixed emotions. When she wiped her face, she felt tears on her hands.

She didn't want to cry, but for some reason she couldn't control her emotions.

Liu Yingxue's obsession was too deep. When she looked at Liu Yingxue, it was like seeing herself in her past life. This pessimistic emotion was constantly growing and was even about to break through her defense line.

Her mind was full of scenes from her past life with Xie Yanshu. Although many things were set up in the book, they were also her real experiences.

The pain is real, and the love in the plot is also real.

Shen Zhaozhao clenched his fists and tried hard to suppress his strange sadness.

Fortunately, after she awakened, she didn't like Xie Yanshu as much as in the plot, and she would never get involved in their relationship again in this life.

After all, in the book, it would be better to say that she is a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block in the love story between the hero and heroine.

Because of her, their relationship became more and more troubled, but in the end, they became harmonious.

She died a miserable death in the end. Whoever wants to play the role of this vicious supporting actress can do so!

The fragments of the Floating and Sinking Realm were ownerless and floated quietly in the air. Chu Yu put the fragments of the Floating and Sinking Realm into the Meteor Bracelet.

The Fire Beast was a little excited, and quickly sent a message: "Master, we already have a fragment, and the spell can be lifted in no time."

Chu Yu looked at Shen Zhaozhao's tear-stained face and asked the Fire Beast in confusion, "Why is she crying?"

Who is crying for what?

Who is crying? It stretched its head and looked around.

Oh, it’s Shen Zhaozhao!

Shen Zhaozhao took Chu Yu to the woodshed to find Xie Yanshu.

When Shen Zhaozhao arrived, Xie Yanshu was sitting next to the unconscious Yu Miaoyi.

Gu Qianmeng sat aside, regulating her breathing and healing her wounds. Her lips were pale, and her eyes would occasionally fall on Xie Yanshu.

It was truly a Shura field, but unfortunately Xie Yanshu seemed unaware of it.

She shouted to Xie Yanshu, "Brother, let's go! That... monster is dead. I'll tell you in detail when we get back."

In her heart, she was extremely reluctant to call Liu Yingxue a monster. After all, she was once just an ordinary person.

"Zhao Zhao...Junior Brother Chu Yu is here too?" Xie Yanshu was a little surprised to see Chu Yu.

Chu Yu uttered a low "hmm", and his emotion could not be discerned.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the injured Yu Miaoyi and Gu Qianmeng. How would they get back later?

"Chu Yu." She pulled Chu Yu's sleeve, asked him to lower his head, and whispered in his ear, "Why don't you choose one between Yu Miaoyi and Gu Qianmeng and take him home?"

Chu Yu's face instantly became as dark as the sky, but his tone was innocent: "Senior Sister, I don't want to."

Shen Zhaozhao swallowed her saliva. Her junior brother's expression changed instantly. Okay, then she will do it herself.

She gently helped Gu Qianmeng up and received a smile from the heroine, but for some reason, she felt cold all over.

There was a hint of hostility behind Gu Qianmeng's smile. Although it was fleeting, she successfully captured it.

Along the way, Gu Qianmeng didn't ask her to support her. She walked in without saying hello when passing by the gate of Anyuan Marquis' Mansion. She looked unhappy before leaving.

Shen Zhaozhao was also a little depressed. She didn’t know how she had offended the heroine. Was she to blame for helping her?

Yu Miaoyi was unconscious and she couldn't hold her.

"Senior Sister, what are you thinking about?" Chu Yu walked to Shen Zhaozhao.

He noticed that every time Shen Zhaozhao thought about something, his face would puff up slightly, like a squirrel.

Shen Zhaozhao sighed, shook his head, and said in a condescending manner: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise in the world."

Chu Yu laughed sincerely. Why did she even scold herself?

Prince Yongping was walking back and forth in the lobby anxiously, but the servants he sent out still couldn't find Yu Miaoyi.

"Your Highness, the princess has been found." The servant at the door came running to report.

Prince Yongping walked out and saw Yu Miaoyi unconscious in Xie Yanshu's arms. He became so anxious that his face turned red.

Xie Yanshu comforted her, "She's fine. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Prince Yongping took his daughter from Xie Yanshu's arms, carried her back to the room, and asked Cui'er to take good care of Yu Miaoyi before he went to the front hall again.

"Thank you all very much. I will never forget your kindness in saving my daughter's life."

Prince Yongping burst into tears. His daughter had been predicted to have a good fate since she was young, but when she grew up, there was no sign of anything good happening to her. She was either sick every two or three days or captured by monsters.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would cancel his daughter's engagement this time, and he would never allow anyone to hurt Miaoyi again.

Prince Yongping had a strong fatherly love for Yu Miaoyi, and Shen Zhaozhao also thought of her own father. Once upon a time, she was also the apple of her father's eye.

Her mother was an ordinary person and died when she was eight years old.

Her father brought her back to Qingwei Sect. At that time, everyone in the sect liked her.

But later, when my father was weak after breaking through to the Great Power, he was killed by a monster...

Everyone has parents, but what about Chu Yu? She seemed to have never heard him mention his family in this life.

Even in his previous life, Awen only had one Am to take care of him.
