[Everyone can hear her thoughts + gossip broadcast on the sky screen + feel-good story with no romance] Jiang Zhaoxue transmigrates into the role of a disposable extra in a melodramatic period novel, banished to the Cold Palace. After binding to a System, her inner thoughts are broadcast on the sky screen to the entire world.
The System forces her to take a blade for the emperor's true love. Instead, she exposes the assassin in the emperor's bed, the slow-acting poison in the Crown Prince's medicine, and the disaster-relief silver hidden in the Ministry of Revenue's cellar.
She only wants to keep her head down in the Cold Palace and nibble on steamed buns. Instead, she accidentally becomes the “Gossip Goddess” feared by the entire court.
In the final years of the Great Yong dynasty, the harem devours people and the court is steeped in corruption. Disaster victims drink porridge so thin they can see their reflections, while corrupt officials' homes are piled high with moldy silver.
Jiang Zhaoxue acts obediently. “This servant knows nothing.”
In her mind, she rants: [Stop pretending, Noble Consort. There's an assassin in your bed.]
The sky screen repeats: “Stop pretending, Noble Consort. There's an assassin in your bed.”
The emperor falls silent, the Crown Prince is stunned, the Noble Consort comes apart, and the System crashes on the spot.
Later, she exposes the palace coup before it happens, reopens unjust cases, and strips corrupt officials bare.
Before court, the officials burn incense and pray: “Please, Miss Jiang, don't think about me today.”
Jiang Zhaoxue clutches her melon seeds, utterly dejected. “I really just want to retire!”
But the sky screen lights up again
[The grain stores in three Jiangnan prefectures are empty, and the levees are in danger.]
Jiang Zhaoxue says, “You've got to be kidding. The next piece of gossip is that big?”
I think that under normal circumstances, such a heroine would have been stunned the first night when she revealed her true feelings... The ancients were just born earlier and were not stupid. They would not try to threaten someone who knew so many secrets, so they would definitely attack directly... The palace maid who had no ability to protect herself knelt at the emperor's feet and said, "I don't know." She told the story in her heart, "For such a woman, even if you were an ancient emperor, you would have a thousand kinds of punishments to make the heroine clean, let alone let the heroine escape from her control. Not to mention that she is not afraid of death. The only thing that is powerful is that you can't live but don't want to die." It was revealed at the beginning that I had no ability to protect myself. How can I continue to watch this if I have some brains... 55555
