Zhao Xueqing was already somewhat possessed by her inner demons. Seeing this, her system quickly tried to calm her down, since the two were bound together. If she died, it wouldn't be able to escape either.
"Host, don't worry. The Prince of Destiny has already let you live in the Prince's residence. It's only a matter of time before he falls in love with you. Besides, your original female lead sister is already heartbroken and can't even leave the house," the system coaxed her.
"What am I supposed to do? I've even brought up the fact that I saved his life, but he's still so cold. In fact, his favorability rating has dropped to negative levels." Zhao Xueqing was so angry that she swept the teapot, teacups, and some snacks off the table.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Her maid, Xiaoli, knocked on the door. "Do you need me to come in and serve you?"
"No need, I broke the cup by accident. I'll clean it up later." Zhao Xueqing was in a bad mood and naturally didn't want to see anyone else.
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Li was a little puzzled. Her mistress's temper was getting worse and worse, and she didn't know what had happened.
"Forget it, maintaining the title of Seventh Prince's Consort is the most important thing. System, use the last of your points to buy colorless and odorless aphrodisiac powder." Zhao Xueqing snorted. "Do you think he won't be drugged? Let's see how you get away with it this time."
"Host, what if... the Seventh Prince's favorability towards you skyrockets? Once the favorability value reaches -100, we'll be directly locked by the Heavenly Dao, and ultimately our bodies and souls will be annihilated." The system's remaining rationality told it that doing this was tantamount to courting death, commonly known as seeking one's own demise.
"Alright, stop pouring cold water on him. Weren't we good enough to him before? We devised a plan to eliminate the eldest prince, prevented him from being entangled with the original female lead, arranged for her to be confined to her quarters, and even saved his life, although that life-saving grace was tainted."
Speaking of him, Zhao Xueqing gritted her teeth. Most of her points had gone down the drain. She had done hundreds of tasks, but she was still penniless.
Zhao Xueqing made up her mind that she had to find the right time to drug him, and she couldn't let herself be suspected. Ideally, she would be the one set up by someone else, and she would be an innocent victim. She had to plan this carefully.

The Prime Minister's Residence.
"Has the Third Miss not returned yet?" A beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes sat in the pavilion, expressionless, slowly sipping her tea.
"No." The maid changed the subject. "Miss, why is the Prime Minister so biased? The Third Miss is an unmarried woman in the Prince's residence, and the Master not only doesn't blame her, but also helps to cover it up." The maid looked indignant and spoke up for the eldest young lady.
"Mo Xiang, shut up!" The woman's expression changed, her previous indifference vanished, replaced by a slightly ruthless look. "Mo Xiang, I'll only say this once. Miss San is incredibly shrewd and can win over any man's heart. If anyone else hears your words and gets targeted by her, I can't protect you either."
“Miss—yes, Miss.” Jasmine stammered, as if she had been frightened.
“I know you’re outspoken, but the days ahead will be a den of dragons and tigers. If you continue as you are today, not only you, but I will also die a horrible death.” She sighed softly. “If you can’t accept it, I will make sure you are taken care of and won’t suffer with me.”
"No, Miss, I will be yours for the rest of my life. Please don't send me away." Mo Xiang suddenly knelt down, pleading with the woman through tearful eyes.
"Alright, I will try my best to protect you, but you must also be careful with your words and actions, for the days to come will not be peaceful." The woman looked up, recalling her previous life.
