When she heard that Lu Zhao has arrived, Tang Shirou's pretty face turned pale, and she hurriedly put her hand down, unable to move forward or backward.

Shen Qingyao felt awkward and silently repeated comforted herself that he definitely didn't hear it. It couldnt be so coincidental, right? Only after thinking so did she dare to turn around and look behind her.

Two figures walked side by side through the palace gate, one in black and one in white. One stern and one gentle, both tall and graceful, with exceptional elegance. Shen Qingyao couldn't help but hold her breath, quickly drawn to the unfamiliar young man in black beside Lu Zhao.

The black-clad young man looked about twenty-five, with sharp features and a compelling aura. His handsome face, with eyes like cold stars, showed no emotion, exuding a chilly demeanor. As he walked, his movements revealed an extremely restrained and elegant demeanor, a natural and indescribable nobility. He was the Fifth Prince, Xiao Mu.

Suddenly, he looked up in their direction, devoid of any emotion, and his gaze swept across Shen Qingyao, making her shiver. The icy demeanor of the male lead was not an exaggeration.

His gaze didn't linger on Shen Qingyao for long, quickly settling on Shen Qingli, her Elder Sister standing beside her. In the corner of her eyes, she saw her Elder Sister visibly relax, no longer cold-faced, as her Elder Sister smiled with radiant eyes, brightening up the surroundings.

Shen Qingyao read a message on her Elder Sister's face: The reinforcement has arrived!

Whether it was Shen Qingyao's illusion or not, she felt that when Xiao Mu looked at her Elder Sister, his whole demeanor softened, at least not emitting an indiscriminate cold aura.

[Is this the dreamlike first encounter of the main leads?] The system sighed in awe.

It might not be their first encounter, Shen Qingyao thought as she recalled the male voice she heard that night in her Elder Sister's courtyard.

As the two men approached, the noble ladies in the vicinity greeted them, despite Xiao Mu not being particularly favored. His royal identity and military achievements were genuine, but his notorious reputation was also real. Xiao Mu ignored them and walked straight to Shen Qingli, asking in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Hearing his voice, Shen Qingyao widened her eyes slightly. Alright, the case was solved; the man from that night was indeed Xiao Mu. It wasn't surprising at all.

Shen Qingli took two steps forward to meet him, looking up at him with her beautiful eyes lingering on his face. She had the appearance of an infatuated girl. "Nothing much. Yaoyao and I just arrived, and Miss Tang is chatting with us."

Shen Qingli gave Tang Shirou a meaningful glance, then asked Xiao Mu, "Why are you here? Is it over on that side?" Her voice was soft, completely unveiling her admiration for Xiao Mu.

The dignified and gentle young lady had suddenly become a girl in love with stars in her eyes. Shen Qingyao was astonished, her eyes moving back and forth between her Elder Sister and Xiao Mu, trying to figure out something.

"Is this the setting of the female lead? Is the female lead really this tender?"

The system was optimistic. [Host, as long as the main leads fall in love with each other, it is not out of character!]

"...Fine." As long as it didn't affect her mission, let her Elder Sister be tender.

Shen Qingyao didn't pay attention to them anymore and turned her head, only to find Lu Zhao staring at her with a dark face.
