Shi Xi remained silent: "Since that's the case, then I should play dead even more. If I ignore it, it should quiet down. I absolutely cannot frame the female lead, be treated as a dead supporting character, and end up drowning in the river to feed the fish!"

The system sensed Shi Xi's fear of death and snorted: "[If you don't complete the female supporting character mission, you'll die right now.]"

Shi Xi continued to ignore the system.

System: [Remember that headache you felt earlier? Failing the mission will result in a headache as a penalty. Three failures will lead to the elimination of your character.]

Hearing that her life was being threatened, Shi Xi finally replied to the system: "I am an important female supporting character, how can you erase me?"

System: [I can find another host; your little follower would be quite good.]

Shi Xi glanced at Tao Yuxuan beside her.

How can this be considered good?

Release Tao Yuxuan, and she'll be a perfect villainous supporting character; she doesn't need any supporting character scripts at all!

Shi Xi simply said, "Then go find her!"

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

I'm sorry, Tao Yuxuan, I'll choose a good coffin for you!

The system said quietly, "My condition for finding a next host is: the previous host must be dead."

Shi Xi: ?

System: [So, you can go die first. Once you're dead, I can go find my little follower.]

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Shi Xi was furious.

After all that trouble, they insisted on having her complete the task!

The system said impatiently, "Hurry up, can't you even do it?"

Shi Xi was furious. "Of course I can't!"

A true woman dares to face her own shortcomings.

Shi Xi's overly confident tone stunned even the system.

The system lamented, "If only you were this imposing in front of the female lead."

Shi Xi fell silent instantly.

In the time it takes for one person to unify the dialogue, the events on the field are about to be over.

Basically, Shi's mother didn't believe Ning Yu, but Shi Xu and Sheng Yan spoke up for Ning Yu, so Shi's mother decided to move on.

However, this completely spread Ning Yu's reputation as an ingrate throughout Fengcheng.

Shi Xi asked, "You see, I didn't even need to frame her; the female lead has already been wronged enough by being framed."

The system encouraged her, saying, "I know you won't frame the female lead, so what you need to do is rescue her from this trap!"

Shi Xi was completely confused. "What did you say?"

System: [Female Supporting Character's Plot Mission: Admit that you framed the female lead and restore her reputation.]

Shi Xi gritted her teeth, "I didn't frame her!"

The system was silent for a moment, then said, "I know."

Shi Xi: ...

Shi Xi understood.

The female lead is unlikely to suffer a Waterloo.

Therefore, the only option was to let her, the supporting female character, suffer a crushing defeat.

Just when the incident of tearing the dress was about to be forgotten, Shi Xi came out with a dark face.

“I had someone slash the dress.” Shi Xi raised her chin slightly, her originally innocent face now showing a hint of darkness. “I was afraid that if Ning Yu returned to the Shi family, she would steal my parents’ affection, so I… I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

When Shi Xi spoke, everyone present was stunned.

It wasn't surprising that Shi Xi would frame Ning Yu.

It was not so much that she was surprised by the timing of Shi Xi's opening remarks.

Ning Yu couldn't find any evidence to prove that she didn't tear the dress, and the matter was about to be put behind her, but Shi Xi spoke up to defend Ning Yu?!

this--

What an incredibly touching sisterly bond!

Would you rather sacrifice your own reputation than let Ning Yu's reputation be compromised?

"The opening dance was invited by Sheng Yan to Ning Yu. Could it have been Shi Xi's suggestion as well?"

"The daughters raised by the Shi family are just different from those raised in the wild."

"Shi Xi is so protective of Ning Yu, yet Ning Yu still wants to kick Shi Xi out. Tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs!"
