Crazy! After the female supporting role commits suicide, the male supporting role redeems herself by

Shen Shuangyue's voice became a little more irritable. "System, do you think I don't want to save the Fifth Prince? But I'm just an ordinary person."

This time, I'm facing a truly skilled assassin. If I were to confront him head-on, I might not even be able to withstand three of his attacks. He's also very cunning. If I'm not mistaken, he won't appear until the moment of assassination.

She sat down on a chair, picked up the teacup, and said indifferently: "Respecting the fate of others and letting go of the desire to help others is the only thing I can do at the moment."

The system sighed, "I took it for granted. Host, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have urged you to save the Fifth Prince just because I didn't want him to die."

Shen Shuangyue lowered her eyes to look at the teacup in her hand and asked casually, "You haven't had any contact with the Fifth Prince, so why don't you want him to die?"

The system couldn't help but feel guilty, [It just... feels like if the Fifth Prince died, the host would be sad.]

"Oh, so after I said I couldn't save the Fifth Prince, you still persuaded me to save him because you were afraid I'd be sad." Shen Shuangyue sneered inwardly: "Do you think I can believe that?"

The system lowered its head, its voice filled with guilt and flattery: [Host, I'm sorry. Due to the existence of rules, there are some things I really can't tell you now. It's not that I want to hide it from you.

But I can tell you for sure that I never intended to harm you.

[So, you're saying that the Fifth Prince's fate is related to me?] Shen Shuangyue threw the teacup to the ground, watching the fragments and splashes of water. She suppressed her anger and looked at the two Fifth Princes who were arguing about who would die, and said in a bad tone:

"Stop arguing! It's like you're fighting for something good!"

The domineering Fifth Prince and the ascetic Fifth Prince fell silent instantly, and both looked at Shuangyue, their eyes, identical like black gemstones, filled with the same guilt and worry.

Shen Shuangyue slammed her fist on the table, taking the opportunity to vent her anger, and then she seemed to regain her composure and said, "Since I promised to help Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Badao swap, I will not break my promise."

She looked directly at the domineering Fifth Prince, "Didn't you say you would obey me? Then I order you now to let your brother take your place."

The domineering Fifth Prince did not expect Shuangyue to give him a direct order, and for a moment he did not know how to respond.

Shen Shuangyue took this opportunity to speak: "Xiao Jinyu, I tried to persuade him, but Xiao Badao didn't agree. I don't care about this mess anymore. I'm going to go out for a walk."

She didn't wait for the two to speak and walked out of the room.

Because Lijia Village was surrounded and only entry was allowed but not exit, Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming, who came to deliver the message, took the opportunity to stay in the village.

When the two saw Shuangyue walk out of the tent, they comforted her in unison, "Sister Nianxing, your decision is correct. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. There's no need to take it upon yourself."

Shen Shuangyue smiled bitterly, "How do you know that all this has nothing to do with me?"

She sighed, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and borrow three knives for chopping bones. You'll never know the outcome of some things unless you try."

The three men came back with three knives and happened to see a scene where the domineering fifth prince couldn't win an argument with the abstinent fifth prince, so he knocked the abstinent fifth prince unconscious.

So the three of them raised their machetes and applauded the domineering Fifth Prince.

The domineering Fifth Prince twitched his lips. "Why do I feel, looking at the actions of the three of you, that you want to settle the score with me on behalf of your brother?"

Shen Shuangyue walked up to him with a kitchen knife in hand. "How could that be possible? If I were to settle accounts with you on behalf of your brother, I wouldn't need a kitchen knife."

The domineering fifth prince: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Shuangyue is right. Even if you ask me to put my neck under your knife, I won't hesitate."

Shen Shuangyue took out a painkiller from her pocket and handed it to his mouth: "Since Xiao Badao is so well behaved, I'll give you a candy."

The domineering Fifth Prince didn't ask any more questions and swallowed the medicine in Shuangyue's hand.

Realizing that the pills only had a pain-relieving effect, his eyes turned slightly red, but he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Frost Moon is worried. If I get assassinated, will it hurt?"

Shen Shuangyue reached out and touched his head, her expression complicated: "Well, at least I have to make sure you don't feel any pain."

The domineering Fifth Prince finally couldn't control himself and hugged Shuangyue in his arms.

He buried his face in Shuangyue's neck and shoulder and whispered, "Shuangyue, even if all this has something to do with you, I am only grateful for meeting you."

He tightened his grip around Shuangyue's arm, then slowly loosened it, forcing a smile. "Although my brother said the assassin's martial arts skills were extremely high, that might be false news."

He put on his outer robe and pretended to smile casually: "Okay, I should leave now."

"Let me give you a ride!" Shen Shuangyue took out a piece of clothing from her bag and put it on the kitchen knife to cover it.

The domineering Fifth Prince thought that the assassin would leave after stabbing him with the sword, so he nodded in agreement.

He walked out of the tent and, led by the village chief, walked from the beginning to the end of the village, just like in his first life.

But he didn't expect that the villagers would put down their work and come to him with things.

"Fifth Prince, I heard you were leaving? This is a cake my wife specially made. It tastes pretty good. If you don't mind, please accept it."

The domineering Fifth Prince was stunned. In his first life, because he had delayed the opportunity and inquired about Li Xu's news, he was spat on when he passed by this house, and the door was slammed shut in front of him.

He still remembered the village chief's words pleading for the man: "Fifth Prince, Li Laoer's wife and children died of the plague, and he is very unhappy. Could you please forgive his misdeeds and not hold it against him?"

But in this life, the village chief said: "Fifth Prince, the villagers heard that you planned to leave quietly at night, so they took this opportunity to express their gratitude. These are not valuable items, so please accept them."

The domineering Fifth Prince closed his eyes and took out a tael of silver. "I only did my duty, so I really can't accept any thank-you gift. But this cake is really delicious, so I'll buy it."

"Fifth Prince, you must accept our family's thank-you gift. If you hadn't moved your charcoal brazier to the isolation room, my boy would have frozen to death." An old lady walked out of the crowd and tried to stuff the chicken in her hand into the Fifth Prince's hand.

The domineering Fifth Prince looked at the only chicken left in the village with mixed feelings.

In his first life, he once heard his mother say, "If the Fifth Prince really wants to take my chickens, I won't give them to him even if I feed them to a weasel!"

He looked up at the villagers who surrounded him, and saw that they all had gifts of thanks in their hands, including small gadgets they made themselves, the remaining food in their homes, and shoes and socks they made themselves. Suddenly, he no longer hated them.

In his first life, although he had a compassionate heart, he was not a competent ruler and did not fulfill his responsibilities.

The brothers in the second life cared more about changing their fate. In addition, the plague prescriptions they knew were not as effective as those provided by Shuangyue, so most of the people still died.
