Qi Yu died one summer while rescuing a child from drowning. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into the body of a young scholar in the Great Qian dynasty. To repay his parents and elder brother for their love, he studied hard and passed the imperial examination, placing first. At last, the golden finger he'd been waiting eighteen years for activated!
He thought it would be an officialdom System that would help him rise to success, but it turned out to be a gossip database about the entire dynasty's top-tier stars!
His first juicy tidbit exposed the previous top scholar for abandoning his wife and child and using his father-in-law's influence to climb the ladder. Qi Yu munched on gossip and silently mocked him, never expecting his thoughts to echo throughout the Golden Hall!
The whole court, the emperor, and the crown prince: "??? What is the new top scholar talking about?"
Seeing the Vice Minister of Revenue turn green on the spot and the previous top scholar drop to his knees, everyone understood: this gossip was the real deal!
From then on, the Great Qian dynasty began its daily gossip sessions:
Today, they listened to Qi Yu's thoughts expose the princess's husband for cheating. Tomorrow, they waited for the juicy scoop about an enemy spy hiding in the imperial harem. The day after, they were shocked to hear that the cold-faced God of War was thinking about... Qi Yu in the dead of night?
Qi Yu: How could the cold and aloof God of War possibly like me?!
The whole court and the emperor: We all heard you! God of War, time to make your feelings known!
The cold-faced God of War, Xiao Ce: Mm. I like you.
The top scholar rises from a minor official to chancellor by feeding on gossip, and also brings the cold-faced God of War home. Every day, officials attend court not to discuss state affairs, but to wait for Qi Yu's "gossip of the day." It's all about enjoying the palace gossip and slacking off happily!
It's okay, but it's a bit inconsistent.
I always feel that the front of Weiwei is quite cheerful, but the back is a bit depressing.
I quite like it, not bad
