Synopsis:
Yun Shuyao is a concubine of good standing.
Due to the mistress being infertile for many years, the old matriarch took the matter into her own hands and arranged for Yun Shuyao to enter the Lin family in order to bear children and continue the family line. Yun Shuyao is like a salted fish, quite lazy compared to another more proactive concubine. However, she unexpectedly gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—which delighted the old matriarch. As a result, Yun Shuyao was surrounded by children, living in her own small courtyard, cultivating her supernatural abilities while raising her kids and managing her dowry store. Her life was peaceful and content for over a decade.
As time passed, her children grew up—her son became famous as a young man, passed the imperial examinations, and was on his way to becoming a jinshi. Her daughter was sent to the Fourth Prince’s residence. Before long, she found herself becoming the grandmother of a prince.
