Which Beloved Concubine Won't Self-Destruct

Pei Shiyuan originally thought that as an illegitimate daughter, being able to live prosperously in her natal family was because she was somewhat good at tea ceremony and only needed to coax her family’s head of household, her father, and she had always been pleased with herself for it, until she entered the rear courtyard of the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince himself has a mother favored above all in the imperial harem, pressing the empress so hard that she has no room to stand; his maternal clan wields power over the court, pressing the ministers so hard they can hardly breathe; and he himself enjoys such immense favor that the other princes have no chance at all.

The civil and military court, the front palace and rear palace alike all hate this pair of mother and son, wishing they could get rid of them as soon as possible... but it’s useless. The imperial concubine is still splendid, and the Eighth Prince is still domineering.

Pei Shiyuan’s evaluation is: if you want to eat something, just go eat it. It’s hopeless. I’ve read so many novels, I’m not lying to you: people like this are called villains, and their usual role is to be sacrificed to the protagonist. There are exceptions too, and that is being stabbed to death in the street.

Just drag him away; he’s done for.

So she also started causing trouble. Anyway, this good life probably won’t last long either, so she might as well enjoy today while she can and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

Never did she expect that the Eighth Prince would actually live long. Then one day, he said he was going to clean up the rear courtyard’s discipline, and all the tea artists, troublemakers, white lotuses, and black-hearted ones would suffer. Pei Shiyuan counted on her fingers and figured it out: well, this time I’m probably the one who’s going down.
