When a 985 University Slacker Becomes the Top-Tier Star of a Scandal

{One-on-one romance + supermarket space + gossip + inner thoughts + lying flat + everyone’s favorite}

Su Miaomiao’s life story could only have been written by the King of Hell while drunk. A corporate drone from a top university, she somehow became a new arrival in the underworld after being accidentally struck by a kitchen knife while munching on a melon by the roadside. Even more absurdly, the Black and White Guards of the Underworld accidentally erased the rest of her lifespan, even though it still had time left on it.

The King of Hell, CEO of the underworld, yawned and offered her two options: “Be reborn and study for grad school, or transmigrate and lie flat?” With no family or friends in the world, Miaomiao decisively picked “transmigrate.” “I want to be a couch potato!” The King of Hell waved a hand and threw in an unlimited-refill “ancient Costco” supermarket space as compensation.

She had planned to stay home, eat fried chicken, and watch the drama unfold. But then the Book of Life and Death escaped the underworld and smacked her in the face. “Ding! You’re bound to the Gossip System. Today’s KPI: expose the county magistrate’s concubine’s lover!” Her plans to lie flat were ruined. The wretched book was like a deadline-driven editor, forcing her to dig up every trivial bit of dirt on one person after another. Then one day, as she watched the princes vie for the throne, she muttered, “Is that a neighbor princess’s bellyband tucked into Third Prince’s sleeve?” The emperor immediately hauled her into court. “This woman can divine the future? Appoint her as an imperial censor!”

From then on, the entire court lived in a state of shock as they listened to her inner thoughts broadcast during morning court: “The prime minister’s toupee is about to fall off!” “The general was on his knees scrubbing clothes again last night!” Most thrilling of all, she stared at the crown prince’s face and drifted off. “What a waste if he doesn’t star in a historical romance drama.” Then, to her astonishment, she was pinned behind the dragon throne and kissed. Rumors now abound throughout the palace: the crown princess’s inner thoughts are more entertaining than any storybook! The court officials bring melon seeds to morning court, all vying to be the first to hear the latest juicy gossip.

The King of Hell didn’t lie: transmigrating really can mean lying flat. You just have to lie flat in a melon patch while the whole country’s top-tier stars chase you down to feed you gossip.
