The Charming Concubine and the Ruthless Prince Who Pampers Her Day and Night

Xu Jiaojiao transmigrated into a feudal era where imperial authority ruled supreme, becoming the lowest-ranking maid in a prince's manor. Her excessive naivety led to a miserable death. Given a second chance at life, she came to her senses. To live better in a world ruled by imperial authority, she had to learn to compete, seize opportunities, scheme, and climb the ranks. This time, she wanted status and power, and to make sure no one in the world would ever dare bully her again. To achieve that, her first task was to win Prince Chen's heart. She believed that as long as she clung to Prince Chen, wealth, glory, and a bright future would all be within reach. So she put on a convincing performance in front of Zhao Yunzheng. Xu Jiaojiao thought Zhao Yunzheng knew nothing of all her painstaking flattery and schemes to outmaneuver her rivals. Until one day, Zhao Yunzheng happened to overhear her talking with a maid. She was penciling in her brows before the mirror, wearing the makeup he loved most. “It's all an act…” … Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Chen despised every woman in the world who was two-faced, vicious, and hypocritical. Zhao Yunzheng himself was sure he could never love a woman so calculating. But when the truth came out and the woman simply decided to lie flat, no longer going out of her way to please him, Zhao Yunzheng was so furious his eyes turned red. At the New Year's Eve family banquet, Prince Chen and Xu Jiaojiao both disappeared. When they were found, everyone saw the usually dignified and self-controlled prince holding Xu Jiaojiao in his arms. “Go on, act. Why did you stop?” Xu Jiaojiao looked innocent. “You found out, so what would I be acting for?” The normally aloof and proud Zhao Yunzheng gripped the woman's slender waist and curled his lips into a cold smile. “You think you can just stop because you say so?”
