Madness! The Entire Harem Can Hear My Thoughts, So I’m Slacking Off and Eating Melon

As a modern office worker who worked herself to the bone, Xiao Anning devoted herself to her job and eventually died of overwork at her desk.

When she wakes up again, she's been reborn as a three-and-a-half-year-old princess, the least favored in the Great Xia dynasty. Her tyrant father considers her an ill omen and abandons her in the cold palace to fend for herself.

This time, Xiao Anning has made up her mind. Bound to a gossip System, she plans to give up trying altogether, eat snacks, watch the drama unfold in the palace, and live until the end of time.

And so a hilarious little slacker princess, who loves to complain in her head, makes her appearance.

As she gnaws on a moldy steamed bun, she watches the tyrant emperor pass outside her door and thinks excitedly: [Wow! So this is the scumbag tyrant dad from all the stories? He looks like a decent person, but what a sucker! The Minister of Revenue has siphoned off all the silver in the imperial treasury, and Dad's over there worrying about it!]

[Tsk, tsk, the border is under attack? The Defender General's wife has been cozying up to the enemy marshal for ages. Last night, she even hid a map of the defenses in a roast chicken and sent it out!]

[Aw, the crown prince has it worst. The Noble Consort Shu he respects so much has been slowly poisoning him. Two more months of drinking her medicine and he'll be joining my mother.]

Soon, she notices that everyone is looking at her differently!

The tyrant emperor, famed for his decisiveness and mercilessness, actually steps into the cold palace himself to pick her up. From then on, he carries her around in his arms every day, even bringing her to court, and coaxes her gently: “Sweet Ningning, what gossip would you like to hear today? Daddy will find some for you!”

The court officials tremble in fear, finding every morning session as agonizing as a torture sentence. They're terrified that the little princess might expose their embarrassing antics, like visiting a brothel the previous night and skipping out on the bill. The entire court turns into a live comedy show.

The blurb doesn't do it justice, so please read the story. It's all about being doted on, listening to gossip, and enjoying a heartwarming daily life.
