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

Ah Ling gasped, her face wet with tears as she suddenly looked up at Ah Yuan.


Ah Yuan's face was also streaked with tears as she calmly looked back, "You're not unwilling to serve the lady, are you? I'm impressed, I don't mind the lady's low status! I'm willing, I genuinely want to serve her."


Ah Ling quickly shook her head vigorously, "How could I be unwilling? I'm just... just... just that what you said, I'm somewhat..." somewhat incredulous.


"Today, that person beat the lady without asking right from wrong, without caring whether she was wronged or not. Isn't it just because they're bullying the lady for her low status? Today the lady got off without harm, but otherwise, the next step would not spare you and me. The lady was sentenced to twenty strokes, you and I would only suffer more!" Ah Yuan said, one hand holding Ye Zao, the other wiping away tears.


"We're mistreated, should we just obediently accept it? Why can't we take revenge?"
