Being tricked into becoming a concubine in someone else's household by her own cheap uncle is bad enough, but why the Fourth Prince's household? She was just a concubine; how could she possibly survive? Her starting point was too low, her background too poor, and her resources too limited! The big boss was too ruthless, and every little boss was deadly! She thought and thought: pretending to be virtuous would lead to her death, because of Empress Ulanara ahead of her. Pretending to be shrewish would lead to her death, because of Consort Li behind her. She couldn't raise a son, and without a son, she had no one to rely on. Every day was a source of worry!
