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's bad mood stemmed partly from Third Master, partly from Longkeduo, and even more so from this very issue.


Imperial Father decided to investigate the Imperial Household Department and went straight to instructing Longkeduo to take action.


Even Prince Zhi, who, along with him and the Third, was acting as regent, was bypassed.


What then was the point of being a regent?


Imperial Father didn't trust the Crown Prince, nor did he trust any of his brothers.


What future could a prince who wasn't trusted by Imperial Father possibly have?


Thinking about Longkeduo's demeanor, Fourth Master felt a surge of anger that he couldn't get rid of or smooth over.


Prince Zhi said that only he had the right to call him "Uncle," but in reality, Fourth Master felt humiliated.


He didn't want to acknowledge that at all! But could he afford not to? Not to mention Imperial Mother's kindness toward him.
