The Foolish Beauty Little Countess Only Wants to Snack on Gossip and Take It Easy

[Lighthearted + Alternate History + Beloved by All + Love Interests to Choose From + Everyone’s Favorite] During the Xuze era, the late emperor trusted eunuchs, allowing power to slip from his hands. The new ruler is weak and incompetent, and the Eastern Depot’s chief, Ning Weixian, controls the court. All the officials respectfully call him the “Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.” Ning Zhitian, his stepson sent into the palace, throws his weight around in the harem. For a time, she outshines all the capital’s princelings and young nobles. The palace servants even secretly call “him” the “Little Thousand-Year-Old.” The Little Thousand-Year-Old has all the makings of a foolish, vicious cannon-fodder character, unknowingly waiting for the day when the protagonists settle accounts with her and grind her bones to dust. Until one day, a strange storyteller’s voice sounds in her ear... “On the Empress Dowager’s Mid-Autumn banquet, when my elder half-sister gave the osmanthus branch she had broken off to the Seventh Prince, who lived in the Cold Palace, I knew she had been reborn, just like me. In our previous life…” “She was once the noble legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household. After marrying a general, she used her dowry to cover the household expenses. But on the day her husband returned victorious, he brought home a bold woman dressed in red…” … What? What on earth is that rambling in my ear? Are they picking on me because the Little Thousand-Year-Old didn’t read many books? I can’t understand a word of this fancy talk!!! A silly, spoiled, universally adored beauty’s daily palace life, listening in on gossip One-sided affection and brainless group adoration!!! Only supporting characters suffer, never the leads!!! [Important]: The heroine was disguised as a eunuch and raised in the palace. No one taught her even the basics, so she has always believed she is a boy. She’s been like that from childhood to adulthood: an overbearing, nouveau-riche little “young master,” with nothing going for her but her face. She’s foolish and easily used as a pawn, the sort who wouldn’t last three chapters in a household- or palace-intrigue story.
