Cheng Wanying was a bored noblewoman in the capital. As she listened to the same dreadful poems and stared at ridiculous hairstyles at a poetry gathering, she was screaming inwardly for the eight-hundredth time when a “Gossip System” suddenly dropped into her lap!
From then on, every day she was either gossiping or on her way to gossip:
[The Yong'an Marquis's heir kneels to redeem a famous courtesan, then gets chased around three times by his father] She crumbles a pastry to keep from laughing;
[A Ministry of Rites official pays a “bedside tax” because he's afraid of his wife] Before she can do a thing, the censor has already impeached him;
[Even the polo match sees two earls' prized horses stage an “inter-clan elopement”] She stares in shock, unable to control her expression!
What's even more absurd is that a group of powerful figures secretly form a “Listening to Inner Thoughts and Sharing Gossip Club.” Heir Shen Ze gets close to gossip under the pretext of discussing scholarship, the emperor specially grants her permission to enter the palace just to hear the latest gossip, and even the court's efficiency skyrockets as everyone helps her complete gossip missions.
Cheng Wanying: I just wanted to enjoy some gossip in peace. How did I become the capital's top-tier star?
The powerful figures: No, we just want to mooch off your gossip!
