In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi’s reign, Ning Chuge, the Fourth Prince’s primary consort, gives birth to Honghui, her legitimate firstborn son.
At last, she has someone to rely on.
But within the household, Li, the former principal wife, gives birth to one child after another and is made a secondary consort, watching Ning Chuge like a hawk.
Then Nian enters the household and wins the Fourth Prince’s exclusive favor.
The Fourth Prince’s consort doesn’t compete for affection or fight dirty. She does only one thing:
Keep Honghui alive and make sure he grows up healthy.
Later, she has another child.
Later still, the Fourth Prince ascends the throne.
Though his harem is filled with three thousand beauties, only her son stands at the very front of the imperial city.
