Cheng Suyun's paternal uncle was a playboy who raised Consort Cheng to be spoiled and willful.
Later, Empress Dowager Cheng discovered that her niece's temperament was really bad and would affect her entry into the palace, so she personally took her in and raised her by her side.
Unfortunately, he was spoiled rotten at home and couldn't be taught back. He can only occasionally rein in his temper.
Having witnessed the example of Consort Cheng, after the birth of her grandniece Cheng Suyun, she also had her eye on the Crown Princess Jingyan, so she brought in the five-year-old Cheng Suyun to raise.
The Cheng family is truly having a run of bad luck. When things were going well, they had Consort Cheng, who was unruly and not very bright.

She became a laughing stock.
Consort Cheng also suffered greatly. Jing Huaixu had the love of a wife for Empress Ye and the affection of a childhood sweetheart for Consort Zheng. The two of them occupied the heart of his.
Despite trying her best, she couldn't get in at all. After leaving Empress Dowager Cheng's palace, she secretly came up with a plan.
“Suyun, even if the Crown Princess is gone, there are still concubines. But a concubine can’t be without the Emperor’s favor. You can’t be like your aunt. I’ll teach you a way.”
