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!

"Your servant is guilty, may Your Majesty quell your anger," the Empress pleaded, terrified by the scolding.


Although many things lacked evidence, the Empress was no fool.


If His Majesty was truly determined to depose the Empress, then innocence would become guilt, not to mention...
