The real Ye Zao knew she was doomed the moment she entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Even though her stepmother loved her, her father cherished her, her brother was kind, and her sister was close.
But once you enter the royal household, none of that matters.
Moreover, Ye Zao herself was a person of weak character.
She harbored a suppressed resentment in her heart. She had no desire to climb the social ladder, yet she ended up as a Concubine in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Who would care to be a Concubine!
She wanted to marry properly, have children, and spend her life peacefully.
How nice it would be to find a promising scholar, wait for his success, and then simply be a legitimate wife.
Ye Zao did not fall ill immediately upon entering the mansion.
At that time, although she was filled with resentment and suspected that her uncle Qi Tai and her stepmother were involved, she had been raised well for over a decade and wasn't that frail.
