Xie Zhaozhao bonded with a cute gossip System called Little Gua. Every time she digs up some juicy gossip, she earns points she can trade for rewards!
Gossip? Great! Her nickname is Chaya, and she loves gossip.
But who knew Little Gua had a bug? Everyone can hear her thoughts!
[The Minister of Revenue’s private vault is fuller than the national treasury? Seize his estate!]
The Minister of Revenue fell to his knees with a thump. “Your Highness, spare me! I’m willing to donate!”
[The Noble Consort is cheating on the emperor? Juicy!]
The Noble Consort immediately staged her own death on the spot.
Xie Zhaozhao laughed so hard she slapped her thighs, only to see the aloof Crown Prince narrow his phoenix eyes and stare at her with interest. “Lady Xie, is this melon ripe?”
At first, the Crown Prince thought the newly appointed young female official was noisy and unbelievably bold.
Later...
“Your Highness! Lady Xie says you’re impotent!”
“Your Highness! Lady Xie called you an icy-faced, repressed man!”
“Your Highness! Lady Xie predicts you’ll be forced into marriage within three days!”
“Your Highness, Lady Xie went to the brothel!”
The Crown Prince could take no more. In the dead of night, he climbed through her window and pinned her against the wall, his tone dangerous. “Why don’t you check for yourself whether I’m capable, Lady Xie? And as for being forced into marriage...”
He lifted Xie Zhaozhao’s chin, the corner of his mouth curving seductively. “I think you’d make an excellent Crown Princess, Lady Xie.”
Xie Zhaozhao: You damn Crown Prince! I just wanted to enjoy some gossip. How did I end up gossiping my way into the Eastern Palace?!
