A Substitute Bride's Gossip: The Powerful Minister Hears My Thoughts and Goes on a Killing Spree

[Mind Reading + Gossip System + Fake and Real Daughters + Coercive Possession]

Jiang Wanyao is reborn, and from the start, her biased parents force her to take her legitimate elder sister’s place and marry Pei Xingyuan, the all-powerful, bloodthirsty Regent.

Her elder sister mocks her for being destined to become a widow, while her parents resent her for being too stubborn to die and getting in the way.

Yet Jiang Wanyao grins from ear to ear inside the bridal sedan:

[Bound to the Gossip System! I can extend my life and make money just by gossiping! Once this short-lived husband of mine dies, I’ll take my billions in assets and enjoy a garden full of male companions. What could be better?]

Who would have guessed that Pei Xingyuan, the rumored killer who never blinked, could hear her thoughts?

On their wedding night,

Jiang Wanyao trembles on the outside. “My lord, my love for you flows like a mighty river...”

Inside, she thinks: [Tsk, that waist, those legs, those abs. What a pity he’s a diarrhea-ridden ghost who won’t live three years. You old ghost, for the sake of your inheritance, I’ll burn two extra paper men for you every year.]

Pei Xingyuan grinds his back teeth and pins her to the bed, his voice hoarse. “I’m not dead yet, and you’re already picking out consorts, beloved?”

Jiang Wanyao: ??? Weren’t you supposed to be short-lived? How are you getting more energetic by the day? The Regent can actually hear her thoughts!

Lu Jinning simpers on the outside. “My lord, my love for you flows like a mighty river...”

Inside, she thinks: [Tsk, that waist, those legs. What a pity he’s fated to die of diarrhea. You old ghost, I’ll burn you plenty of paper money for the sake of your inheritance!]

Xiao Lie grinds his back teeth, fighting through his illness as he grabs her by the waist and holds her against him. “I’m not dead yet. Who are you planning to give the family fortune to, beloved?”

Later, her scumbag father and brother kneel all over the place, begging for forgiveness. Nestled in Xiao Lie’s arms, Lu Jinning thinks: [Don’t rush. Watch me dig up some juicy gossip and get your whole family marched off to prison together!]
