Name: Gossip Time! I Use the System to Set the Imperial Court Straight
Author: Little Mo You

Synopsis

[Mind reading + going berserk + gossip + play the pig to eat the tiger + cross-dressing as a man] Shen Leyu died one day, and the kindly Meng Po felt sorry for her, so she kicked her off the Bridge of Helplessness to be reincarnated. This wasn't what they'd agreed on! Given a second chance at life, Shen Leyu has no choice but to enter the imperial court.

Does workplace bullying exist in ancient times, too? Shen Leyu goes berserk on the spot:

King Yan: “Young people should suffer a little more. It’ll do you good.”

Shen Leyu snarled, “You’ve got your fat ass welded to that chair! All you do is flap your mouth. Was your amniotic fluid blocking your placenta? Why do you talk so nasty?”

Minister of War: “You little thing, I’m the Emperor’s favorite. You’re not fit to stand beside me!”

Shen Leyu spat at him. “You old grasshopper, you’re covered in little things yourself. I’m not fit, but you are? Hngh, ptooey!”

Grand Scholar: “So what if I take over your class? My classes have to be in the morning!”

Shen Leyu scoffed. “And your classes are always in the morning! Are you in a hurry to die in the afternoon? Afraid you’ll be reincarnated too late and end up in the animal realm?”

The Chancellor: “You’d better keep that temper in check. I could crush you with one finger!”

Shen Leyu rolled up her sleeves. “I’m alive to go berserk. Keep my temper in check? I’ll take your mother and lock her in Leifeng Pagoda!”

As Shen Leyu ranted on, she realized that she’d accumulated a whole crowd of underlings: the Emperor playing straight man, the Minister of Justice serving tea, the Imperial Physician’s chief giving massages, the great general performing acrobatics, and... the Crown Prince volunteering to warm her bed!

(This blurb focuses on her going berserk. The mind reading and gossip are in the main story!)

Looking for Novels Where the Protagonist Watches the Story Unfold Without Interfering, Just Lazing Around and Enjoying the Gossip

Any era is fine, including Qing-era romance. The protagonist transmigrates into a book and follows the plot without going out of their way to cause trouble or demonizing the original leads. Romance or no romance is fine, as long as the protagonist isn't love-brained.
