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

After Lady Chang left, Lady Li remained silent for a long time.


She had clawed and fought for so many years, and now she actually had to live humbly.


If it had been in the past, not to mention protecting Lady Chang's unborn child, she probably would have dealt with her herself.


Or perhaps, she wouldn't have let Lady Chang have the chance to become pregnant in the first place!


"Mother? The weather is so nice outside; let's go for a walk," the Elder Princess came in and saw her mother sitting desolately, feeling a surge of pity.


She had grown sensible and knew that her mother had fallen out of favor. To protect her and her brother with the status they still possessed was not easy, and she didn't want to make it any harder for her mother.


"Hmm, let's go then. Where is your brother? Let's take him along," Lady Li said, a pang of pain in her heart as she looked into her daughter's worried eyes.
