Shut Up, Ancestor! Every Time You Speak, the Imperial Palace Collapses

[Mysticism + Everyone's Favorite + Goofy + Feel-Good Power Fantasy + A Father-Daughter Duo Who Keep Sabotaging Each Other] A Jinx System + A Civil Official Dad Forced Into the Military

Wen Ruyu, the Grand Secretary, had a spotless reputation for integrity and incorruptibility. Unfortunately, he had a daughter, Wen Xiaonuan, who was known as a walking jinx.

Opening change: Wen Xiaonuan doesn't wake up in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. She wakes up in her own ancestral hall, half of which has been struck by lightning.

After transmigrating, she binds to a Jinx System. To stay alive, she has to say one “painfully honest truth” every day.

At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, everyone else wishes her a long life. Wen Xiaonuan says, “That peach looks undercooked. Eat it and you'll get the runs.”

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager gets diarrhea that very night, and the purge even flushes out the poison someone slipped her!

Wen Ruyu is so scared he writes his resignation overnight, but the emperor insists he has “rendered meritorious service protecting the throne”!

From then on, the capital's whole vibe changes:

When Wen Xiaonuan says, “That dam looks ready to burst,” the Minister of Works rushes out with his men that very night to shore it up, and they dig up gold embezzled by corrupt officials from the previous dynasty.

When Wen Xiaonuan says, “That enemy prince has a dark aura between his brows,” the prince gets kicked flying by a horse the moment he steps outside, then signs a ten-year nonaggression pact.

Wen Ruyu looks at the imperial yellow jackets piled all over the house and breaks down sobbing. “Daughter, please stop talking! Your dad's about to become a prince with a different surname!”
