“Mommy, hungry. Want to eat dirt.”
In the crumbling, freezing Cold Palace, four starving little children huddled in a corner, trembling as they gnawed on mud.
Shen Nanqiao's vision went dark.
She was sent to the Cold Palace from the start, and even got four little burdens who had been abused by the original owner?
Back then, the original owner had stolen a powerful minister's military tally, drugged him, and gotten pregnant. In the end, she brought about her own ruin and became a disgraced consort.
To stay alive, Shen Nanqiao had no choice but to pick up a hoe, clear land in the Cold Palace, and start farming. She even raised pigs and chickens!
No money or food? She grew sweet potatoes that yielded a thousand catties per acre, astonishing the entire court.
No powerful allies? She turned the Cold Palace into the finest farm in the land, and the palace consorts lined up every day to buy her fruits and vegetables.
Then one day, a cool, aloof man wearing a mask climbed over the wall into the Cold Palace.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, “You stole my military tally and still think you can run?”
Shen Nanqiao shielded the four children behind her and clung tightly to her secret identity.
Wasn't the tyrannical emperor supposed to have no interest in women? Why was this man climbing over the wall every day to mooch a meal in the Cold Palace?
Watching him hold a bowl while the four children clung to his legs and called him Daddy, Shen Nanqiao thought: What a disaster! Has my secret identity already been exposed?
