The Crown Prince's Beloved Concubine

In her previous life, Wu Jiaoniang was sold by her stepmother to the Su family as a child bride when she was eight. After eight years of backbreaking labor, her suffering finally seemed to be over: the Su family's eldest son passed the imperial examinations, and her marriage was officially put on the agenda. But the Su family, greedy for wealth and status, set their sights on the daughter of an official and broke off the engagement, forcing her to become a concubine. She went from being the proper wife to a concubine hidden from view, spent her whole life in a marriage without a husband, and was eventually driven out by the Su family in her old age, where she starved to death in a hut.

Reborn, Wu Jiaoniang knows the Su family is about to break off the engagement. Without a second thought, she grabs her bundle, walks out of the Su family's door, and marries the handsome, stunning young man next door.

Who could have guessed that the young man is actually a fallen Crown Prince? Wu Jiaoniang's status rises steadily, and in the end, she becomes the mother of the nation.
