After my Imperial Mother Consort died, I was given three foster mothers in succession.
Of those three foster mothers, some were deposed, and the others were ordered to die.
In the end, I landed in Beauty Lin’s care.
For three years, she and I lived together in peace, without incident.
Until she offended the wrong person and was thrown into the Office of Punishment.
My heart gave a jolt. Oh no. It looked like I was going to have to change foster mothers again.
Worse still, this time, she was the only one I wanted.
