In the Qing Dynasty, Yingchun Loves Gossip, While the Nine Princes Eavesdrop with Glee

When she wakes up, Jia Yingchun discovers she has become Yingchun, the wooden beauty from Dream of the Red Chamber. Before she can even sigh, she is sent to the Qing palace for a selection and, in a stroke of bad luck, is assigned as the crown prince’s secondary consort!

Since she’s here, she might as well make the best of it. Yingchun binds herself to the “Gossip System” and decides to be a harmless nobody in the Eastern Palace, passing the time each day by listening to gossip and watching the drama unfold.

“Wow, the First Prince and the Crown Prince are arguing again? The First Prince actually sneaked the Crown Prince some top-quality medicine for his injuries last night!”

“Shocking! The Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Princes got together to discuss which roast duck shop in the capital is the best?”

“Oh! The Fourth and Thirteenth Princes, that ice-and-fire duo, secretly traded copybooks to practice their calligraphy!”

Yingchun happily munches on sunflower seeds, unaware that the Crown Princess and the Nine Princes can hear every thought in her head!

The Nine Princes, who used to fight like roosters with bloodshot eyes: ...So Second Brother/Big Brother/Fourth Brother/Eighth Brother is actually such a good guy?

And so, everything takes a sudden turn.

The Crown Princess takes Yingchun to stroll through the imperial garden every day and gossip about Kangxi’s harem.

The Nine Princes not only give up fighting for the throne, but also band together for support. Listening to Yingchun’s thoughts, they join forces to expand the empire and run wild!

Watching his sons treat one another like brothers as the territory of the Great Qing expands at an astonishing pace, Kangxi falls into deep thought: Has my Great Qing become invincible?
