"But that young lady's behavior is really strange."
Su Lixia shrugged: "Who says otherwise? Even my 'Heart Project,' which I was just about to launch, has to be put on hold. It seems I can only rely on myself. After something like this, do you think that guy will let me off the hook?"
Xiaolian pouted: "That young lady isn't exactly the mistress of the manor, but just now, there was a feeling of her vying for favor."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia frowned and hissed in confusion, "Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that, huh?"
Xiao Lian pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "She's been in the Prince's mansion for many years. Although everyone knows that the Prince treats her well, he hasn't given her a status or position all these years. Then the princess came, and she's so beautiful. It must have made her jealous, plus she's a little worried."
Su Lixia laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Half and half."
"Yi Zexuan intends for her to become a princess, and he should be trying to find a way to do so. Xue Yurou shouldn't be behaving like this at all; it's really strange," Su Lixia thought.
Meanwhile, in Yi Zexuan's study...
Xue Yurou covered her tears and slowly sat down. Yi Zexuan was very troubled, so he asked, "What did she say to you that made you like this?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yurou raised her eyes to look at him, then lowered them again and said, "The princess mocked me, saying that Rou'er should have been a princess. Rou'er knows that the princess is the future princess, but I don't know which words made the princess think that way. Rou'er is terrified, so I apologized."
Yi Zexuan nodded, then put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her, "It's nothing. Everyone knows she's eccentric and has a strange temper. We should just avoid her. Even if she becomes my queen in the future, it will only be in name."
Xue Yurou hummed in agreement, easily appeased. Yi Zexuan's intentions had been fulfilled, but what about the princess...?
Su Lixia, who was lying on the couch, suddenly sat up and asked in confusion, "It seems like I gained some dark value when I came back. Or is it just my imagination?"
After saying that, he thought to himself, "System? Mini-system? System Master?"
The little system yawned and asked, "Dear host, what's the matter?"
"Did I add some 'darkening' points today?"
"OK."
Su Lixia rubbed her hands excitedly. As expected of the female lead, she only had to mess around with me for a little while before she got me to gain more "darkening" points. I guess I should make her even angrier.
"I'm asking you, have I reached one-third of the progress yet?"
The little system shook its head and said, "It's still a little short, but it'll be soon."
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow: "It's alright. We now have a way to increase the corruption value. Given time, this task will be completed."
With that, Su Lixia got off the bed and said, "Let's go, take a break, and get ready to go."
All ready to go, after changing into sanitary napkins and feeling refreshed, I sat in the lobby eating snacks, waiting for the next thing that both the male and female leads would be doing.
However, while Yi Zexuan was in the palace, Xue Yurou was preparing to go to Su Lixia's place.
"This morning, the princess made you lose face in the courtyard. Why should you apologize to her now, Miss?" The little maid, unaware of the whole story, was just spouting nonsense.
Xue Yurou smiled slightly and said, "The princess is the princess, and I am me. If I do something wrong, I should apologize to the princess."
