The Noble Consort Climbs to Power in the Harem, While the Tutor Rises Through His Son

Yue Rongyin was the illegitimate daughter of the Grand Astrologer, and her birth mother was a medicinal concubine. Though born to a lowly station, she was breathtakingly beautiful. After her legitimate elder sister died of illness, Yue Rongyin finally entered the palace. But years passed without her conceiving a child, and she could not help thinking of the ancestral rule that childless consorts must be buried with the emperor.

While bringing food to the Crown Prince, she caught sight of the renowned Grand Tutor Pei, his lean waist firm beneath his jade belt. As the saying goes: men with strong waists are blessed with more children, more blessings.

Pei Yanli was a censor of the Court of Censors as well as the Crown Prince's tutor. He repeatedly rejected Consort Yue's advances, yet found himself falling deeper and deeper. But her status as a palace consort was an impassable chasm between them.

Until one day, Pei Yanli accidentally fell victim to an aphrodisiac. His heart clamored to see her. Yue Rongyin watched the refined Grand Tutor Pei stumble in late at night. He gripped her waist and slowly took off his robe. "Ayin, help me."
