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

It was the fifteenth, and it would have been alright if Fourth Master didn't stay the night, but to take her with him?


Unfortunately, was there any chance she could refuse now?


She could only look at Fujin with deep embarrassment.


Fujin didn't mind, it was her arrangement after all. What was there for her to be dissatisfied about? Since Lady Ye knew embarrassment, Fujin was even more pleased.


"Go then. The weather isn't great today, serve Master well," Fujin waved her off.


Ye Zao finally felt relieved and agreed.


The corners of Fourth Master's mouth curled up, but no one saw it. In his heart, he felt Lady Ye was acting so well. This Little Fox, really good at playing her part, had fooled Fujin into letting down her guard against her.


When the door opened, rain threads drifted in. A burst of cool air rushed in.


The Second Prince had already been bundled up, and for fear of the wet nurse slipping, he ordered the Little Eunuch to carry him.
