After Marrying the Fourth Prince, I Use Gossip to Take the Qing Dynasty by Storm

[Qing-era transmigration + mind-reading + gossip System + pampered by the nine princes + nation-building + brainless wish fulfillment]

Overworked office worker Su Congyi binds herself to a “Gossip System” and transmigrates to the Great Qing, becoming one of the idle young women in the imperial selection.

All she wants is to get assigned a marriage and become an invisible secondary consort in Prince Yong’s residence, where she can snack on melon seeds, watch the drama, and gossip every day.

What she doesn’t know is that all her thoughts can be heard by the nine princes and the Crown Princess!

At the selection:

[Wow! Is that the Crown Prince? What a shame, he’s going to be locked away, then go completely mad.]

The Crown Prince (Yinzreng): ??? I’m going mad?

[Ninth Prince is really rich, but he’s going to have his estate confiscated and die a horrible death.]

Ninth Prince (Yinsi): !!! Hide all the money!

[Fourth Prince is so cool and icy, but he’ll work himself to death on the throne, and no one will understand him.]

Fourth Prince (Yinzhen): ... (a complicated look)

And so the Great Qing’s course took a sharp turn.

The Crown Prince stopped living extravagantly and teamed up with the First Prince to build up the military;

The Third Prince quit compiling books and started lurking in corners every day to listen to Su Congyi gossip;

The Eighth Prince’s faction disbanded on the spot, joining the Ninth and Tenth Princes in developing the economy;

The Fourth Prince gave up his cold demeanor and kept an eye on his secondary consort every day, afraid of missing a single word.

Su Congyi munched on melon seeds: [Strange, why hasn’t the struggle for the throne among the nine princes started yet? Is everyone really getting along so well?]

The princes chorused: As long as you don’t spoil how we die, we’ll be one big happy family!

As the “cement,” “potatoes,” and “steam engines” from Su Congyi’s thoughts came into being one by one, the nine princes joined forces and expanded the borders of the Great Qing all the way to Europe!
