During the Yongle period, the city of Beijing was filled with blooming flowers and undercurrents. However, Shen Mingxi, the second lady of the Anyuan Hou Mansion, became the smartest little gossip in the capital by virtue of a "Beijing's No. 1 Melon-eating system" that fell from the sky.
As the youngest legitimate daughter of the Hou family, she has a doting and crazy father who holds military power, and is escorted by her eldest brother, the Imperial Guard, and her second brother from the Hanlin Academy. The whole family enjoys a happy life, and her only "little hobby" is squatting on the front line of the melon fields, listening to the gossips of the capital's parents and the secrets of the palace. The system can not only broadcast hot gossip in real time, but also unlock skills such as "photographic memory" and "smooth ear" by eating melons, making her even more powerful on the road to chasing melons.
Until a chance encounter on a street corner, she fell into the eyes of the cold-faced general Lu Jingyuan. General Weiyuan, who entered the battlefield at the age of thirteen and had great military exploits, was an "iceberg" that the noble ladies in the capital did not dare to imagine, but he only looked at Shen Mingxi who loved gossips in a different light. He saw her falling into a panic while climbing a tree chasing melons, saw her eavesdropping on palace secrets with her "smooth ears", and saw her helping the family resolve crises with her little cleverness. From being "interesting" at the beginning to being "loving" later on, he unknowingly became her exclusive supporter.
"This melon is too dangerous, I'll help you block it."
"Whoever dares to touch my people should first ask about the spear in my hand."
From the jealous jokes of Young Master Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, to the shocking secret of the third prince's affair with Mobei; from the undercurrent of the palace flower viewing banquet, to the life and death showdown on the autumn hunting ground, Shen Mingxi relies on the melon-eating system and the confidence of the family's favor to "eat melon and break through" in the turmoil in the capital.
