Holding the script, I want to give up.

After returning to her palace, Shangguan Zitong tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. She got up, put on her cloak, and walked barefoot to the soft couch by the window. She sat down, opened the window, rested her chin on her hand, and admired the snow scene.

Suddenly, a dark figure approached the window. Shangguan Zitong immediately pulled out the self-defense dagger that the system had given her and pointed it at him, trying to protect herself.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the shadowy figure immediately climbed through the window, reached behind Shangguan Zitong, covered her mouth, and whispered, "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."

"Yi...bai."

Shangguan Zitong's consciousness began to wander before she could finish speaking.

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have gotten up to open the window and look at that damn snow scene even if I couldn't sleep," she thought to herself before she lost consciousness.

Seeing that she was about to call for help, the shadowy figure knocked her unconscious with a karate chop. Yi Bai had already drugged her with sleeping pills. He then closed the window, turned off the light, dragged her onto the bed, and put something on her right foot.

"Damn it, which bastard is trying to harm me? There are always treacherous commoners who want to kill me."

Shangguan Zitong awoke leisurely and immediately began cursing, thinking to herself that she really needed to learn martial arts from Yi Bai. Yi Bai? Wait, where's Yi Bai?

What is "Mad"?

The shadowy figure had long since shed his night clothes, now dressed in a moon-white gauze robe, standing before the bed with his hands behind his back like an ethereal immortal, exuding a serene and refined air. Moon-white? Wait, isn't that the attire of a courtesan?

"...Zi Ke?"

Shangguan Zitong couldn't see clearly through the heavy bed curtains, nor was she sure if the dark figure was the courtesan.

"..."

Seeing no response, Shangguan Zitong got up and pulled back the bed curtains, only to be startled by the cold object on her feet. Damn, could it be a ghost?

"Damn, what is that?"

Shangguan Zitong looked at the extra thing on her foot and wanted to take off the gold bracelet.

"You'd better not take it, or you'll suffer a lot."

The courtesan turned around and looked at her.

Shangguan Zitong froze, forgetting to breathe.

"Mu Rongyi Ke! What's with putting a gold bracelet on my ankle? Are you seriously ill?"

Shangguan Zitong was so angry that she jumped up, wanting to kill him. What kind of good person would break into a young lady's room through a window in the middle of the night? And then put a gold bracelet on her ankle.

Shh! I'll kill you if you make another sound.

“I’ve already drugged Yibo. It’s so late, no one will come to save you.”

"I advise you to think carefully about the consequences before you speak."

Mu Rongyi grabbed the neck of the person who jumped over and said fiercely.

Shangguan Zitong felt as if fate had grabbed her by the throat. Her feet were off the ground, kicking wildly. Her face turned a deep purplish-red with anger, and the golden bells on her feet jingled.

Damn, that sounds like something she would say to Sang Ran. Could it be that she's become the villain too?

Upon hearing the ringtone, Mu Rongyi casually tossed the person to the ground and sat on the bed, looking down at the disheveled Shangguan Zitong.

"Damn, I was careless. I was wondering why my hands would inexplicably shake every time you got close to me. I should have realized it was you sooner."

Shangguan Zitong finally managed to catch her breath and took deep breaths of fresh air. She slumped onto the cold floor, shivering as she looked at the person on the bed.

Why does she keep running into dangerous places? Has her eyesight deteriorated lately?

Damn, this feeling of suffocation is terrifying, what a lunatic. But it's kind of exciting, too bad I can't control someone like that.

Why is it that sometimes I can't understand what you're saying?

Mu Rongyi was stroking a small square box in her hand, which looked like a controller.

"us?"

Shangguan Zitong instantly understood who he was talking about.

"You're not from our world, of course you wouldn't understand," she muttered to herself.

"You have no right to tell us what to do!"

Just as Shangguan Zitong finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through her foot. Damn it, how come there were needles hidden inside this bracelet? What a heartless glutinous rice ball!

"You'd better tell the truth, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy with this box."

After Mu Rongyi finished speaking, she pressed the controller in her hand again. Shangguan Zitong was reminded of the scene of Rong Momo pricking Ziwei when she was pricked by the needle.

"Damn it, you're even more vicious than Rong Momo. I've never abused you."

Shangguan Zitong clutched her foot, rolling around in pain.

"My patience is limited."

What do you want me to say?

Shangguan Zitong compromised.

"You are not from this world, especially you. What is your purpose?"

Shangguan Zitong inwardly exclaimed at Mu Rongyi's intelligence.

"How did you find out?"

"Never mind that, just tell me."

Mu Rongyi Ke wanted to say that he had been reborn, and that Shangguan Zitong didn't exist in his previous life; she was an unknown quantity, and he needed to control her. He knew they probably wouldn't believe him if he said that, but if he told Shangguan Zitong and Liu Yunwan, they would believe him, since it was what the system had told them.

"We are indeed not from this world."

Shangguan Zitong was just spouting nonsense.

"...What is a system?"

"Fuck."

Shangguan Zitong's mouth formed an "O" shape in shock.

"I have the Flower of Truth. Whoever eats it will answer any question and will lose the memory of being questioned."

"So, you already asked Sister Liu? Then why did you come to see me?"

"I want you to take away her system."

Don't you want her to go back to her world?

"I told you, don't try to steal it."

Mu Rongyi pressed the square box again.

"Damn, can't I even ask?"

Shangguan Zitong was writhing on the ground in pain, and the bottom of her skirt was covered in bright red blood, like a sea of ​​flowers.

Damn it, you're so high and mighty, so great. If you're so capable, let me be Rong Momo and see if I don't stab you to death.

"Give me some time; I need a suitable opportunity."

Shangguan Zitong gave a perfunctory reply.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise..."

"Stop! I, Shangguan Zitong, swear to God I will steal her system. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Are you satisfied now?"

Suddenly, thunder roared outside, and Shangguan Zitong was so frightened that she forgot her pain and trembled.

"...I'm telling the truth."

Damn it, it's only the beginning of spring, where did this thunder come from? It's so unhelpful.

Mu Rongyi didn't say anything, but got up, picked up the night clothes on the ground, and casually put them on.

"Be careful of Huangfu Hongxi; this man is unfathomably cunning."

"I'm not stupid, you don't need to remind me."

"I think you're the one who needs to be careful," Shangguan Zitong muttered to herself. If insults could kill someone, she really wanted to insult Mu Rongyi to death.

"Do you still want to live in the palace?"

"Doesn't Your Highness admire me?"

"...Alright, sir, you can stay as long as you want."

Destroy it, she didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so embarrassed that she would dig her toes into a dreamy Barbie castle every day.

Not wanting anyone to see, Shangguan Zitong could only heal herself.

......

The next day, Shangguan Zitong limped out of the palace, accompanied by the melodious sound of golden bells.

"Youzhi, bring me the scissors."

Youzhi immediately went to get the scissors.

"Princess, when did you have this gold bracelet made? It's quite beautiful."

"Youxi asked curiously."

"It was a long time ago, but I forgot. I put it on last night because it looked alright."

"Then why were you injured?"

Youxi didn't quite understand, so she asked.

"I accidentally fell and twisted my ankle."

After obtaining the scissors, Shangguan Zitong dismissed them, intending to cut the bell herself. However, the scissors were worn and uneven from being picked up, and the bell never fell off.

What kind of broken scissors are these? It must be Mu Rongyi Ke's doing. I have to go ask her about it.

Shangguan Zitong roared inwardly, threw the scissors on the ground carelessly, and limped toward the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
