Li Shiqi, a history graduate preparing for the civil service exam, had just landed a grassroots government job when she transmigrated into a novel. She became a doomed cannon-fodder character, destined to die a year before the tragedy that would destroy a nation.
In the depths of despair, she saved the Crown Prince and thought she’d landed the perfect script for turning the tables after transmigrating into a book. The [Gossip System] bound to her could do little more than chatter about rumors and call her “useless,” but armed with modern thinking and grassroots savvy, she resolved to team up with the Crown Prince and defy fate!
What she never expected was that this System was a “live-streaming leaky faucet” broadcasting on every channel. Every gripe she and the System shared, every juicy palace secret she unearthed, and every reform plan she was “secretly” hatching went out like a live broadcast, straight to the ears of the empire’s inner circle, led by the Crown Prince.
[“With acting like that, the Crown Prince would be a movie star in modern times!”]
→ The Crown Prince quietly adjusted his “worried for the nation and its people” expression for the next day.
[“The Minister of Revenue is afraid of his wife! Ha! I’ll use that to keep him in line next time!”]
→ The old minister went to court the next day and proactively submitted a plan to weaken the regional princes.
[“Promote the curved-plow? No, no. We need to do grassroots research first and set up a pilot program!”]
→ The cabinet held an overnight meeting to discuss whether the “pilot program approach” was feasible.
And so, a “movie-star-level” team centered around the Crown Prince was quickly assembled. Everyone became a drama queen, diligently playing along with the “Chosen Daughter of Heaven” and her “performance,” all so they could benefit from her “modern wisdom” and save millions of ordinary people.
Until one day, the first group of grassroots officials she had personally trained lined up and saluted her. “Teacher Li, please review the Tianqi Poverty Alleviation Plan!”
Li Shiqi: “…??” Wait, my System never taught me this!
