[Mind reading, gossip, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, satisfying revenge]
Su Hua, a web novelist, transmigrates into a book and becomes the most tragic supporting character in her own novel: the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s family. Abandoned at the family farm, she’s hung beneath a cow’s belly to drink warm milk, fights wild dogs for vegetable dumplings, and survives on handouts and hand-me-downs. In the end, her heartless steward sells her off as a concubine to a seventy-year-old wealthy gentleman.
The first thing she does after escaping his clutches: Eat a decent meal, then sell the stewardess off herself.
When the waiter dawdles, looking at her with contempt, a crackling sound rings out... The System chimes again:
[Ding!]
Su Hua immediately catches on. There’s gossip.
System: [Every night, once it’s quiet, this waiter goes to listen at his brother and sister-in-law’s bedroom wall.]
Su Hua broadcasts it live and spills the gossip on the spot: “What are you staring at? Just take the money and do your job. Or should I tell everyone how you sneak around listening to your brother and sister-in-law at night?”
“You’re making things up!” the waiter protests.
System: [Last night, he got so caught up listening that he slipped and scraped his knee. It’s still bandaged.]
She can repeat what she hears, and even embellish it!
This is so much fun. Long live gossip! Mwah!
“Roll up your trou...”
The waiter was instantly shaken to the core. Blushing, he said, “All right, all right. I’ll go right now.”
“Wait!” she called after him.
The waiter froze in place like a wax figure. It was all his sister-in-law’s fault. She usually spoke so softly, like a mosquito buzzing. How could she... how could she get into bed and then... then have no restraint at all? A young brother-in-law growing up under the same roof! I have my reasons...
“Do you have braised beef? A serving of beef stewed with potatoes would be fine too.” Hua Hua just loves meat! ...
