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

Fourth Master abruptly looked up at Prince Zhi, only to see his expression unchanged, his eyes gentle.


"Listen to your eldest brother, go back. It's better for you to be involved in this matter. In the future... you don't have to be so absolutely devoted." Prince Zhi stood up and patted Fourth Master's shoulder.


It wasn't until Prince Zhi turned to leave that Fourth Master finally uttered a word: "...Yes."


Ahead, Prince Zhi didn't speak but just curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and strode out.


In this lifetime, everything was different, but Fourth Master was still Fourth Master. He would support him wholeheartedly to become Emperor. The old path was no longer viable, and after looking past everything, all he wanted in life was for the Irgunjoro Clan to survive and to have his own freedom. Since he was not destined to be Emperor, he might as well... strive for the "Merit of Following the Dragon"!
