Fourth Master’s Consort Su: His Beloved and His Business Partner

[Qing Dynasty setting + sweet romance + everyday life of ordinary people + adorable kids]

Su An’an had always been practically invisible! At home, she was overlooked; in the palace, she was overlooked too. Unfortunately, Fourth Master wouldn’t allow it, always looking out for his little concubine!

At the Su residence, her mother died in childbirth, and her father soon remarried. Although she never lacked food or clothes, she wasn’t close to her parents. Her grandmother stayed by her side and devoted herself to raising her.

As the saying goes, when a stepmother comes along, so does a stepfather. Her father came begging Su An’an to enter the palace and compete in the selection, in exchange for keeping her stepsisters out of it.

With a wave of her hand, the old lady agreed to all of Su Fu’s shameless demands, then took Su An’an and severed ties with the Su family. Grandmother and granddaughter packed their bags and headed to the capital, where Su An’an became a pitiful little figure in everyone’s eyes.

To keep his daughters out of the palace, Su Fu and his stepmother accepted the blame and paid up.

After arriving in the capital, the old lady contacted an old friend who worked as a palace matron, doing everything she could to pave the way for Su An’an.

Once in the palace, Su An’an became invisible all over again. She only wanted to wait until she was old enough to leave and care for her grandmother.

Who could have guessed that, as the Uya clan contended with the Tong family in the palace, the overlooked girl would be selected by Noble Consort Tong and assigned to Fourth Master’s household?

Because of her status, Lady Uya was privately targeted by the women of the household. Su An’an shut the gate of her little courtyard and stayed out of the fray. Fourth Master watched the women fight among themselves with amusement, and the overlooked girl who did the opposite of everyone else caught his eye.

After Consort De got wind of it and personally reprimanded Fourth Master, he returned to his residence and put Lady Uya under house arrest. Instead, with a grand wave of his hand, he showered the overlooked girl with rewards, raising her status himself.

At first, Fourth Master favored her to defy Consort De. Before long, however, he found himself becoming more and more devoted to her…
