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

Noble Lady Xi, after bidding farewell to His Majesty the Emperor, was engulfed in panic.


She did not quite understand, truly did not understand.


What did His Majesty the Emperor mean? What was the purpose of his visit?


Did the Empress Dowager want to take Fourth Prince into her care, or... was it His Majesty's intention? But His Majesty got angry again, why was that?


Was it a test? Was he testing her with this?


That's right, His Majesty had said that he was very disappointed in her.


Noble Lady Xi slumped powerlessly onto the couch, "Did I do something wrong?"


"Noble Lady... His Majesty came from the Empress Dowager. Perhaps the Empress Dowager wished to take Fourth Prince away, but His Majesty refused," Anru came over to console her.


"Is that so? Then... then does His Majesty want me to..." Did he want her to share his animosity?
