Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Chu Xingchen quietly looked at the woman sitting behind the white gauze screen. The gauze was thin, and although there was a landscape painting on it, a vague figure could still be seen.

Today, Su Yingxue wore a ginger-yellow brocade shirt that was as bright as the spring sunshine. The brocade with every inch of gold and luster was made with the finest craftsmanship and could present a colorful halo under the sun.

As the eldest princess of the capital of Dasheng Kingdom, Su Yingxue's brocade clothes were made of the best floating brocade. The layers of clothes and the intricate brocade embroidery patterns on the clothes took the best embroiderer seven days and seven nights to embroider for her.

This was wealth and prosperity that ordinary women could never achieve. It was also different from the hideous maids and servants he had seen in the cold palace since he was a child. Comparing the two, even Chu Xingchen had to admit that Su Yingxue was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in all these years.

However, when Chu Xingchen closed his eyes and thought of Su Yingxue in the past, with her fierce face and the spoiled and arrogant look when she whipped and humiliated him, he felt a ball of anger burning in his heart, and hatred could not help but flood his eyes.

How could he have the leisure and elegance to examine her appearance? Was she beautiful or ugly?

It has to be said that Su Yingxue, who is so quiet now, not crazy, not spoiled, not whipping others, and not arrogant, is somewhat incomprehensible to Chu Xingchen.

Could it be that Su Yingxue really hit her head when she fell into the lake, and then her personality changed drastically?

Su Yingxue, so quiet and gentle, made him feel a little uncomfortable...

No, no, this vicious woman must be planning something evil in her mind. These are all her calculations and disguises. Chu Xingchen shook his head and thought bitterly that if he took it seriously, he would be played around by her again!

Just like last time, Chu Xingchen shouldn't have felt pity when he passed by that place and saw Su Yingxue falling from the bridge and heard her floundering in the lake.

When Su Yingxue fell into the water that day, Chu Xingchen saw with his own eyes the back of a man dressed in servant's clothes walking away to the other side with his back to him. She, Su Yingxue, was deliberately pushed into the water.

Chu Xingchen wanted to chase the departing figure, but he heard Su Yingxue struggling in the water and shouting for help.

She was like a fish splashing in the waves, floating up and down, her whole body soaked, her hair disheveled and damp, her little face pale, and even her voice had a bit of misery in it.

Su Yingxue, who fell into the water, did not have the domineering attitude she had when she scolded and beat people. Instead, she looked a bit embarrassed and miserable.

Chu Xingchen watched her flopping up and down in the middle of the lake for a long time. She was tired of her miserable appearance. It turned out that this arrogant princess couldn't swim. Chu Xingchen raised a cold sneer.

At that moment, Chu Xingchen had a thought in his mind: don't save Su Yingxue. Even if she drowned here, it would be the retribution for her evil deeds.

As a wicked person like her, who is arrogant and domineering, and who abuses and scolds others at will, she only increases the evil in the world and brings disaster to the people!

Chu Xingchen hated her so much in his heart. His body was covered with scars, which one was not caused by her directly or indirectly?

If Chu Xingchen were to find someone in this world that he hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Su Yingxue!

She still wanted him to save her! What a dream!

But just when Chu Xingchen made up his mind to turn around and leave, the person struggling in the middle of the lake behind him sank without a sound.

He hadn't heard any sound for a long time, and when he turned around to check, he was surprised to find that the lake had already become quiet, with only circles of ripples spreading out from the place just now, as if telling something.

Chu Xingchen had never imagined that she really couldn't swim at all. Furthermore, she had actually put herself in a desperate situation, looking so miserable and pitiful.

Chu Xingchen's eyes turned cold and he struggled for a long time, but finally he gritted his teeth and took off his thick and worn cotton-padded jacket. That was his only thick cotton-padded jacket and it couldn't get wet.

There was no charcoal fire in the cold palace, and it was extremely cold and damp due to the leaking rain. His cotton robe was wet, and he had no dry thick clothes to keep warm.

So Chu Xingchen wore only a single piece of clothing, shivering in the cold winter wind. He gritted his teeth and jumped into the lake, swimming towards the place where Su Yingxue disappeared.

The winter lake water was as cold as ice, wrapping around Chu Xingchen's whole body. He struggled to identify the direction in the water while looking for Su Yingxue who had fallen into the water.

Chu Xingchen cursed inwardly, "Why was she standing on the bridge if she couldn't swim? Why would he risk his life to save such a cruel woman? If he could just let her freeze to death, wouldn't he be free from all this? No one would bully him anymore!"

Su Yingxue, if I saved you this time, you've already turned evil into good! If I ever gain power, I'll make you pay back for all the past hatred!

Su Yingxue, you have to hold on!

When Chu Xingchen found Su Yingxue at the bottom of the lake, slowly sinking and falling unconscious like a stone thrown into the lake, he swam towards her with all his strength, put one arm around her waist, and paddled with the other hand, trying to bring her to the shore.

The moment he hugged her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and the moment she fell into his arms, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to save her!

Su Yingxue, you must hold on!

Although he hated Su Yingxue in his heart, seeing Su Yingxue so pale and unconscious, Chu Xingchen was still just a teenager after all, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

After all, he is just a teenager and still has some conscience in his heart. Even though she hates evil, she still can't help but save her because it is a life.

Chu Xingchen took great effort to get her to the shore. At this moment, she was soaked all over, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she had even stopped breathing.

Alas, I owe you.

Chu Xing groaned, and finally, reluctantly, pressed hard and rhythmically on her abdomen, then took a deep breath and poured air into her mouth. He repeated this until Su Yingxue unconsciously spit out the saliva that had choked her stomach. Only then did she resume breathing, but she still didn't wake up and remained groggy.

Chu Xingchen saw her spit out the water, and then stretched out his hand and sighed until her breathing had returned to normal. Then he took out his dry cotton coat and covered her wet clothes.

Chu Xingchen looked coldly at the vicious woman lying on the ground, but his heart was filled with kindness. After all, he was a man, accustomed to enduring hunger and cold since childhood. He could endure the cold of the winter wind that soaked through his thin clothes.

He is a strong and brave man of the Great Qi. He can't just watch a woman suffer from the cold while wearing thick clothes himself, right?

Even though she was a vicious woman, he couldn't lose his gentlemanly duties. Furthermore, Su Yingxue was the eldest princess, born into a golden family, so her body was naturally delicate. Unlike him, whose life was worthless since childhood.
