Transmigrated as a Weepy Concubine, I Become the Cold Palace Prince's Dearest

Chu Rui transmigrated, and the moment she opened her eyes, she had become a much-abused concubine-born daughter in the household of a low-ranking ninth-grade official. To hedge their bets, her family sent her pampered legitimate elder sister to serve as a lowly maid in the powerful Second Prince’s residence, while her scumbag father paid to send Chu Rui to the Cold Palace as a concubine to the deposed Crown Prince. Chu Rui: ... She gave her father a thumbs-up for being so “ambitious,” with the tip pointing down. A disastrous start. Even in her modern life, Chu Rui had been spoiled, and she couldn’t stand the slightest bit of hardship. Relying on the fertility-pill recipe her late mother had left behind, she got pregnant on the first try. Work? It wasn’t that she wouldn’t do it, but what if it wore out her precious baby? Chu Rui stroked her pregnant belly, crying until the tip of her nose turned red. The deposed Crown Prince, banished to the Cold Palace because he couldn’t produce an heir, panicked. “My delicate concubine can barely take care of herself.” So the deposed Crown Prince, who had a bad leg, was forced to get up from his wheelchair, leaning on a cane as he fetched water, cooked meals, and made the bed, all while reassuring his delicate concubine, who was forever sobbing. Chu Rui went from a Cold Palace concubine to the only person in the Crown Prince’s heart, all while crying pitifully. Her rise was faster than a rocket. At the enthronement ceremony, her legitimate elder sister, still doing laundry at the Second Prince’s residence, bit through her handkerchief in fury. She couldn’t understand what Chu Rui had done to catch the Crown Prince’s eye.
