On the very night she transmigrated, Chen Jiaqian, a self-proclaimed “professional gossip enthusiast,” was thoroughly ravished by a man who had been drugged.

She had meant to fight him off, but the man had such a fine physique that she changed her mind and spent a night of passion with him.

There was no shortage of juicy gossip here:

The eldest daughter born to the first wife and the second daughter born to the stepmother schemed against each other, all to compete for the position of imperial consort.

But the emperor was impotent, and sooner or later the throne would pass to his nephew. If they entered the palace, they would be widows in all but name. What was there to fight over?

The illegitimate eldest son fell in love with the prime minister's concubine and eloped with her in the middle of the night, causing a scandal throughout the capital.

When the capital's most talented woman was exposed for having her lover write her articles, she watched the gossip unfold.

When she learned that the marriage tokens of a princess sent away to marry for peace and her personal guard were a matching pair, she watched the gossip unfold.

When the emperor's younger brother fell for a male opera performer, she kept right on watching.

A certain man said, "I've already asked the emperor to issue an edict. You'll enter the selection, and then the emperor will personally arrange our marriage."

She agreed. After all, they were in love, and she was carrying twins.

She entered the palace selection alongside her elder half-sister.

On the day of the final selection, she kept her head bowed, but heard an all-too-familiar voice from above.

She looked up and saw the man wearing a familiar mask on the imperial throne. Only then did she realize that the man from that night was the current emperor.

She asked, "But aren't you... impotent?"

He replied, "I am."

She asked, "Then how do you explain the children in my belly?"
