Lin Daiyu in the Qing Dynasty: The Nine Princes Are All Eavesdropping on My Gossip

[Qing Dynasty transmigration + Dream of the Red Chamber + gossip System + inner thoughts + no household power struggles + everyone’s favorite + a powerful nation in the later story]

A modern girl transmigrates into Lin Daiyu’s body. Before she can even go to the Jia Mansion, she is sent to the Qing court’s selection and, through a twist of fate, becomes the Crown Prince’s secondary consort!

She thinks she’ll have to face the brutal struggle for succession among the nine princes and merciless harem power struggles, but then she binds herself to the “Gossip System.”

Daiyu says: Why fight? Isn’t gossip much more fun?

And so, the Crown Prince’s residence takes on a whole new atmosphere.

Daiyu looks meek as she pays her respects, but inside she’s screaming: [Wow! The Crown Princess kicked the Crown Prince out of bed last night? That’s wild!]

The Crown Princess, who was just about to put on the airs of the primary wife: ... From then on, she drags Daiyu along to gossip every day.

While wandering around the imperial harem, Daiyu thinks: [The Consorts Yi and De actually fought over a cat when they were young?]

The concubines in Kangxi’s harem: ... Little Daiyu, come over here! I’ve got pastries for you!

Passing by the nine princes as they discuss matters, Daiyu thinks: [The First Prince still wants to fight for the throne? His princess consort is already about to be driven back to her parents’ home by him! The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince are the true soulmates, and the Ninth and Tenth Princes are business geniuses! There are so many islands full of gold and silver overseas. What’s the point of fighting over a lousy throne?]

The nine princes, who can hear her inner thoughts, are collectively stunned and suddenly see the light!

Why fight over the throne? Wouldn’t it be better to follow the little secondary consort around for gossip, then join forces to explore the world overseas and dominate the globe?

Years later, the Qing Empire is visited by envoys from every nation, and its technology is advanced.

Daiyu munches on melon seeds, looking utterly bewildered. I was just gossiping. How did the Qing Empire become an empire where the sun never sets?
