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

If Su Peisheng were here, he would have scorned Fourth Master.


They say you should give a sweet date after a slap, but before your hand even lifted for the slap, the sweet date was already fed...


Only then did Ye Zao begin to respond a bit. Fourth Master did enough—was he so painstakingly instructive even to a little concubine?


"Anyway, I am devoted to Master wholeheartedly," Ye Zao whispered.


Fourth Master made a noise of acknowledgment, looking at her delicate face, said nothing more.


As long as she understood that, it was good. Fourth Master didn't like silly girls; Ye Zao was just right.


As long as whatever she did, she kept him in her heart, that was enough.


"Would it please the Master if I read to him? Would Master... enjoy it?" Ye Zao asked tentatively.


"Why wouldn't I enjoy it? Little girl, don't you test me," Fourth Master chuckled, amused by her cautious and testing manner, which was undeniably alluring.
