[Qing Dynasty time travel + mind-reading gossip System + farming + raising children + lighthearted humor + no cultivation golden finger]
Dong'e Jinyue wakes up one day to find that, despite having been single all her life, she has become the future principal consort of the Qing Dynasty's Ninth Prince, Yinzhen.
Not only is she bound to a “mind-reading gossip System,” she also gets a portable little vegetable garden as a bonus.
Knowing how horribly the struggle among the Nine Princes for the throne ends, Jinyue decides: romance is off the table, making money is a must, and gossip is a daily necessity!
And so, the entire Forbidden City undergoes a dramatic change in atmosphere.
Emperor Kangxi is reviewing memorials when he suddenly hears: “Oh my goodness, if His Majesty finds out that the First Prince and the Crown Prince are fighting each other behind his back again, he'll be so furious his toupee will fly off!”
Consort Yi is sipping tea when she suddenly hears: “My mother-in-law is so beautiful. Too bad the Eighth Prince she loves most is an ungrateful wretch!”
Meanwhile, the Ninth Prince Yinzhen, who loves money and holds grudges more than anyone, can not only hear his consort's thoughts, but is also dragged into her grand “gossip, money-making, and farming” enterprise.
The Ninth Prince says, “Consort, Eighth Brother is asking to borrow money...”
Jinyue eats watermelon and grumbles in her thoughts: “Borrow my foot! Giving him money is like throwing meat buns at a dog. We might as well buy two mu of good farmland outside the city and grow tomatoes!”
The Ninth Prince immediately clutches his money pouch. “Eighth Brother, your younger brother is broke! I still have to support my consort and our adorable children!”
With Jinyue's absolute clearheadedness and her steady stream of gossip keeping everyone in line, the Ninth Prince gives up taking sides for good. The couple tend their fields and raise their children, and before they know it, they have become the Qing Dynasty's wealthiest and most carefree idle princes!
