After Hearing People's Thoughts, Xia Nation Quietly Soared to Greatness

On her way home from school, Lian Qiao stumbles upon a juicy spectacle. How could she possibly miss it?

There's no way!

But she accidentally gets caught in the crossfire and transmigrates to an alternate dynasty.

To stay alive, Lian Qiao decides to enter the palace. At last, during the founding ceremony, the golden finger she had been waiting for arrives. She only wants to use this gossip System to get a few perks, stave off boredom, and enjoy a more comfortable life. But who could have guessed that other people would hear all the snarky thoughts in her head?

[The art of papermaking! It's as thin as silk, yet easier to write on. Why aren't they using it? Do they just not want to?]

[Gunpowder! It would make sure the nomadic tribes never dared invade.]

[Sweet potatoes! Thousands of pounds per acre. What's not to love?]

The emperor, whom the people of the realm (the people whose country he conquered) call a tyrant, spends every day reviewing dozens of kilograms of memorials and diligently governing the realm he unified himself. Little did he know that from the very day the country was founded, he would be able to hear the thoughts of a palace maid, along with her talk of papermaking and sweet potatoes.

Then I must have all of it, here in my bowl!

Lian Qiao: a remedy that detoxifies and saves lives

[A few warnings before you begin: 1. There are some palace intrigues in this story (though they don't really count as a struggle for power. It's normal for rebellious forces to exist in the imperial harem, right? So it's only natural that they would learn about the heroine's special ability and approach her, right?) 2. The heroine isn't the domineering, dazzling, super-cool type, but she won't be pushed around either. 3. The story explains the conditions for hearing thoughts, and later there are also some clarifications about one of the heroine's gossip subjects. 4. The System doesn't play a major role. Finally, now that you've been warned, please don't give it a low rating!]
