Modern-day professional gossip hound Lin Wanxing stays up all night scrolling through juicy stories and drops dead. When she opens her eyes, she’s become a down-and-out legitimate daughter in ancient times! The moment she wakes, she’s bound to an overpowered Gossip System. She can collect points by eavesdropping on gossip, then exchange them for snacks, medical skills, and life-saving charms. It’s a blast!
But she has no idea the System has a fatal bug: only kind-hearted people can hear every thought in her head! The cold-faced crown prince, her loyal personal attendant, her aristocratic best friend, and even powerful officials at court are all her “secret listeners.” They’re also forcibly silenced, so all they can do is listen as she rants, uncovers the truth behind every rumor, and imagines one melodramatic plot after another.
At her broken engagement banquet, she tears into her ex-fiancé in her thoughts, calling him a scumbag. The crown prince publicly takes her side and tears into the shameless pair. As she mentally pieces together the plots behind an unjust case, everyone works in perfect sync to deliver the evidence to her. At the royal consort selection, she silently calls out the young noblewomen’s terrible acting, and the Empress Dowager and Empress dote on her until she becomes the crown princess!
From a down-and-out legitimate daughter to a beloved empress, she gets ahead at every turn by following the gossip. She earns points by the handful, maxes out her skills, and predicts every villain’s moves with her thoughts, crushing the scumbags without breaking a sweat! Meanwhile, her listeners have gone from bystanders watching the gossip to her personal wife-protection squad. The crown prince dotes on her endlessly: “My empress, you just enjoy the gossip. I’ll take care of the rest of your life!”
Sweet romance from start to finish, no angst, endless hilarious gossip, and everyone secretly protecting her. Who could resist a lucky gossip-loving consort with a head full of inner monologues, adored by the whole world?
