Snowy Retrospect

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence?
Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough!
Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

The Favorite Mate of Prince

The first to enter the mansion was Princess Gao, and at this time, the selection of scholars had begun, which was merely after the first round of Fine Ladies.


Her background was also ordinary, merely the daughter of a minor official from Jiangsu.


She had a delicate appearance but was not considered too beautiful. After all, with Lady Li's beauty, Ye Zao's enchanting looks, and Lady Song's celestial grace, Princess Gao's delicateness did not stand out.


Princess Gao entered the Fourth Prince Mansion with a bundle, led by another maid.


"Princess, first rest in the small courtyard. It won't be too late to change into fresh clothing and pay respects at the main courtyard later," said the eunuch with a smile.


Princess Gao responded and slipped him a purse.


Princess Gao pondered in her heart, now was indeed a good time to enter the mansion! Fujin was out of favor, and Li Consort Fujin was pregnant. It was said that there were no noteworthy figures in the mansion.
