The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

The sensation of the cold, sharp hairpin pressed against her throat made Wang Wanshu freeze.

The images of how he had been defeated by Yu Wan in his previous life, along with his deep-seated fear of her, all rushed back to him at once.

Her eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears, but she still didn't dare to move.

"You...you dare!" she roared at Yu Wan, her voice trembling with fear. "If you kill me, Prince Chen will never forgive you!"

Yu Wan shrugged nonchalantly with her other hand. "It doesn't matter. If I can take away a noble princess with my life, it's worth it."

"You—you're insane?!" Wang Wanshu stared at Yu Wan in disbelief, never expecting that she would risk her life!

Crazy?

She's not crazy.

She cherishes her life very much.

Yu Wan muttered a few words to herself, but her smile remained even more nonchalant.

She gently slid the hairpin in her hand across Wang Wanshu's neck a few times, her voice extremely gentle, "Princess, don't be afraid. I know where to cut it to bleed the most and die the fastest. Don't worry, just a moment of pain and you'll be free."

Because of her fear of Yu Wan from her previous life, Wang Wanshu had almost no doubt about what Yu Wan said.

She felt enveloped by immense fear, her vision blurred, and she stared at Yu Wan, who was smiling brightly, in a state of shock.

In her eyes, Yu Wan was no different from a demon at this moment.

Her voice trembled, "No, you wouldn't dare—"

"You can give it a try," Yu Wan said with a smile.

She tilted her head, her gaze fixed intently on Wang Wanshu's neck, the hairpin shifting as if considering where to begin.

Wang Wanshu was truly terrified at this point.

She could neither move forward nor backward, feeling as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss, with no matter which way she went, it seemed to be a dead end.

Fear made her want to beg for mercy, but the pride and self-respect of a princess prevented her from speaking.

She broke out in a cold sweat, her heart filled with panic.

Just then, she saw something, and her panicked and helpless eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yun Shang! Yun Shang, save me—Yu Wan, that vicious woman, is trying to kill me! Please save me!"

Cloud-shaped wine cup?

Yu Wan paused, turned her head slightly to glance behind her, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure.

The man walked slowly and leisurely behind Yu Wan, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

When Wang Wanshu saw Yun Shang, it was as if she had seen a lifeline. She couldn't wait to say, "Yun Shang, you saw it! I never lied to you. Yu Wan is a vicious woman!"

She looked at Yun Shang with expectant eyes, and he was the only one in her gaze.

Yu Wan still held the hairpin against Wang Wanshu's neck without moving.

She glanced at Yun Shang out of the corner of her eye, wondering what he would do.

Do you believe Wang Wanshu's words and believe she is a vicious person?

Or should he warn her not to cause trouble? After all, Wang Wanshu is Prince Chen's most beloved cousin. If something happens to her, Yun Shang will not be able to explain it to Prince Chen.

Yun Shang had already walked up behind Yu Wan. He glanced at Wang Wanshu and asked indifferently, "Why did you come out?"

Yu Wan: "??" What does that mean?

Wang Wanshu thought he was asking her a question, so she quickly said, "I've come all this way..."

She excitedly recounted the hardships she had endured along the way, but Yun Shang seemed not to be listening to her at all. He simply raised his hand and gently removed the strands of hair that had been blown onto Yu Wan's face by the wind.

She whispered again, "Mother and the others have been looking for you. How did you end up here?"

Wang Wanshu's smile froze.

Yu Wan was somewhat bewildered.

Looking at the man's face so close to hers, she subconsciously swallowed and said, "I was just taking a walk, and before I knew it, I had ended up here."

"Mm." Yun Shang nodded, reached out and took her other hand, squeezing it gently. "Your hands are cold, let's go back."

Yu Wan: "..."

The male protagonist seems to have completely ignored the female protagonist.

Yu Wan could already feel Wang Wanshu's sharp gaze.

If looks could kill, she would probably be riddled with arrows by now.

Wang Wanshu's emotions completely collapsed.

Her whole body trembled nervously, and the sharp hairpin cut several bloody gashes on the delicate skin of her neck, but she seemed oblivious to it.

"Yun Shang, what are you doing?!"

What is he doing? What on earth is he doing?!

She was standing right in front of him, but why did he only see Yu Wan? Why could he only see that vicious woman, Yu Wan?!

Upon seeing the wound on Wang Wanshu's neck, Yu Wan quickly withdrew her hand.

She didn't really intend to kill the female lead.

Yun Shang completely ignored Wang Wanshu, took Yu Wan's hand, and turned to leave.

Having been completely ignored, Wang Wanshu's last thread of reason snapped.

She gritted her teeth in anger, reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her hair, then stabbed it towards Yu Wan's back.

However, it seemed as if Yun Shang had eyes in the back of his head. Before Wang Wanshu's hand could even touch the hem of Yu Wan's clothes, he put his arm around Yu Wan's shoulder and pulled her aside.

Wang Wanshu missed her target and was about to turn around when a dagger was suddenly pressed against her throat.

The man's cold voice was devoid of any warmth, "Princess, that's enough."

With a "clink," the hairpin in Wang Wanshu's hand fell to the ground, the sound as resembling the sound of her heart breaking.

"You're holding a dagger..." Wang Wanshu's voice trembled as she glanced down at the dagger pressed against her neck, her expression a mixture of shock and anger. "Pointing it at me?"

Yun Shang's eyes were cold and deep, and his gaze toward Wang Wanshu was filled with undisguised disgust. "The princess is of noble status, and my husband and I do not wish to be enemies with her. For the sake of His Highness Prince Chen, this is the last time."

"Please, Princess, stay away from us."

After saying that, he completely ignored Wang Wanshu's reaction, put away the dagger, and left with Yu Wan in his arms.

After walking several steps, Yu Wan finally came to her senses and turned back to look at Wang Wanshu, who was standing there as if she had lost her soul.

Okay, that's it, we're completely done for now.

The male and female leads have now completely broken up.

It's all because of her.

Is this plot really plausible?

Just as Yu Wan was about to say something to Yun Shang, Wang Wanshu's resentful shout suddenly rang out from behind her, "Yu Wan, I won't let you get away with this!"

"Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant for me, Yu Wan! I will fight you to the death!"

Yu Wan was numb.

No way! You male and female leads have a fight, why should a supporting female character have to bear the consequences? Is that polite?

She was internally complaining when she felt Yun Shang beside her move.

A gust of wind seemed to brush past her ear, and something rushed towards Wang Wanshu at an alarming speed. Before Yu Wan could see what it was, she heard the girl's terrified scream.

"what--"

Yu Wan turned around in shock and saw Wang Wanshu clutching her arm in pain, blood flowing continuously from between her fingers.

Behind her, a blood-stained dagger was deeply embedded in the tree trunk, the glaring blood on the dagger barely visible.

That's so cruel!
