Director, Save Me!

My one and only greatest flaw is that I just can't stop getting myself into trouble.

For example, I've openly complained that my second imperial brother, the only legitimate son, looks like Wangcai from next door. I've snuck into the Third Princess's residence at night to read her love letters... I've even stabbed the Crown Prince in court.

You ask how I can cause so much trouble and get away with it? Well, I have a powerful backing and a strong protector. The Director of the Eastern Depot, who holds power over the court and stands second only to the emperor, belongs to me. His daily routine consists of reviewing memorials, drafting imperial edicts, and rescuing me.

The Eastern Depot is powerful enough to sideline the emperor, and the Director has my back. I know I was wrong this time, but I'll do it again next time. If I can get away with it, I'll keep stirring up trouble. And if something happens... Director! Save me!
