The system forced me to blow up the female lead's fishpond.

"Useless! No meals tomorrow!" Chu Chouchi glanced sideways at the black dog lying on the ground, whimpering, his already gloomy face showing even more displeasure.

"Ow~"

Life is tough, even a dog sighs.

The poor dog lay on the ground, its wet eyes staring mournfully at the girl who had deprived it of its food.

The girl remained prostrate on the ground, her shoulders trembling, as if she had been greatly frightened. The black dog tilted its head, looking left and right with a puzzled expression.

Why does it feel like she's smiling? Surely not?

After all, the ladies of the city would flock over to it with concern and concern if they saw it injured even slightly, saying with teary eyes, "What a pitiful little dog."

What woman could laugh if she saw this cute little thing bump its head?

Unfortunately, if Black Dog knew Shen Zhizhi's true thoughts, he would probably break down and cry.

Because of the comical scene it had just witnessed, Shen Zhizhi almost burst out laughing, her lips curving into a smile.

Hahahahahaha—

This silly dog! No wonder it was raised by Chu Chou Chi, who has such a love-struck brain!

Chu Chouchi turned his gaze back to the unfocused girl, strode forward, and forcefully pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Shen Zhizhi, whether you're blind or not, I'll ask you one last time: did you push A-Shou into the water?"

"Your Highness, I...I don't have any!"

She was forced to look up, and Chu Chouchi saw that her empty eyes were full of terror, like a sika deer that had accidentally wandered into a bustling market from the forest, unaware of the ways of the world, crying with tears streaming down her face, a sight that evoked pity.

But he seemed oblivious to her weeping, letting out a cold snort and tightening his grip on her chin: "Nothing?"

Shen Zhizhi grimaced in pain, and for a moment she felt as if her jawbone was about to be crushed.

That bastard, he hit so hard! He had no mercy whatsoever!

[Host, just accept it. The male supporting character won't show any mercy to anyone other than the female lead.]

Shen Zhizhi: [Get out!]

Her mind raced, searching for a way to escape, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her: "Second, Your Highness, I've remembered!"

"Speak!" Chu Chouchi roared angrily.

"This humble woman did indeed push my second sister into the water!" Shen Zhizhi blurted out.

Ya Dan was almost speechless with shock.

What the heck? Has the host gone mad?

"You're so vicious you'd even lay a hand on your own sister!" Chu Chou's eyes reddened slightly, filled with murderous intent. He released his grip on her chin and instantly moved to her neck.

"Shen Zhizhi! You're asking for it!"

The sudden feeling of suffocation stunned Shen Zhizhi for a moment. She raised her hand slightly and grasped his wrist with difficulty, managing to squeeze out a few words.

"Cough cough cough, Second Prince, I, I did it all for you. Don't you want to know about Second Sister's unknown secrets?"

"..." Chu Chouchi's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he was weighing the credibility of her words.

He paused, then released his grip on her neck: "Explain yourself, what do you mean by 'secrets'?"

Having just returned from the brink of death, Shen Zhizhi gasped for oxygen. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes concealing the deep dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Damn it! You deserve to be cheated on and dumped!

Well done, heroine! Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic!

When she got back, she deleted the negative review and wrote a 3,000-word article praising the female lead.

Shen Zhizhi muttered to herself for a while, then looked up again. Her dissatisfaction had long since faded, leaving only deep affection.

She gently wiped away her tears with an embroidered handkerchief she pulled from her bosom: "Actually, the reason I couldn't bear to tell the truth just now was because I was afraid that Your Highness would be deeply saddened."

"Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

Shen Zhizhi was extremely nervous, but her face showed tears welling up, putting on a sad and miserable appearance.

Her lifeless eyes stared straight ahead, while she kept an eye on Chu Chou Chi's every move: "Your Highness, I really can't bear to see you deceived by her. My second sister seems to be deeply in love with you, but in reality, she is also in close contact with the young master of the Zhang family and the young master of the Li family."

Shen Zhizhi spoke with tears streaming down her face, but her heart was filled with joy.

If she weren't pretending to be blind, she would definitely record the changes in the man's face after he found out he had been cheated on.

Hehe, saving the male supporting character from his backup lover fate is easy, right?

Why not just let the male supporting character see the female lead's true colors and stop being her simp?

"Anything else?" The cold voice above added a hint of anger.

The three words, spoken so casually, made Shen Zhizhi tilt her head in suspicion. Shouldn't a normal man's reaction be to furiously flip the table?

What else is there?

Did they want her to list more evidence of Shen Qinshou's promiscuity, then go to investigate and collect evidence, and confront her face to face?

Waaah! I didn't expect this supporting male character to be so helpful. He got it right away after just a little guidance. That's amazing!

[Host, why do I feel like Chu Chouchi's gaze is a bit off?] Ya Dan's worried voice rang in my mind.

Shen Zhizhi: [Can a man still be decent after being cheated on?]

That being said, the host does seem to be acting a bit strange...

Shen Zhizhi ignored it completely; nothing was more important than blowing up the female lead's fishpond right now.

Once she gets past Chu Chouchi, she'll go find the other male supporting characters and use the same method to persuade them to come ashore.

After thinking for a moment, her voice became even more forceful: "She often went to Zuixianlou with the young master of the Zhang family to listen to music and drink wine, and went to Yongdefang with the young master of the Li family to watch shadow puppet shows..."

"In a fit of anger, I felt sorry for Your Highness for having met the wrong person, so I had a wicked thought and pushed my second sister into the river, causing her to fall into the water and almost meet with an accident."

She secretly reached out and pinched her thigh hard, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain: "Who would have thought that evil would be punished? When I woke up, I was blind."

Shen Zhizhi recounted her story with tears streaming down her face, like dewdrops clinging to leaves in the morning.

"Waaaaah~ Your Highness~ It's true that I was confused for a moment, but it's also true that my second sister was disloyal to the prince!"

She was in unbearable pain, her face filled with regret, but inside she was screaming: Hahaha! Let the storm rage on!

Forget about being a sea queen, forget about being love-struck, they can all die! Hahaha!

[Oh no! Host! You are in danger!]

Unlike Shen Zhizhi's smugness, Ya Dan looked at Chu Chouchi slowly walking towards Shen Zhizhi on the big screen in horror, and hurriedly shouted a warning.

Shen Zhizhi: [Danger? What danger?]

Ya Dan's eyes widened as Chu Chouchi pulled a dagger from his bosom. The blade was extremely sharp, and the silver light it emitted sent chills down one's spine.

He was holding a dagger.

Shen Zhizhi lowered her head, subtly curving her lips into a smile, her eyes gleaming.

Shen Zhizhi: [Oh? Shen Qinshou is in danger? Is he so angry he wants to kill her?]

As a prince, Chu Chouchi was naturally ruthless. How could he possibly accept a woman deceiving him, hiding from him, and making a fool of him?

He's furious now, he'd probably want to tear Shen Qinshou to pieces!

If Shen Qinshou dies, then the remaining male supporting characters will have no one to fawn over, and this story will no longer have the concept of a backup love interest.

Killing two birds with one stone, it's perfect.

However, things didn't go as planned. Shen Zhizhi was overjoyed one second, but the next second she was stunned.
