The day Jiang Suihuan transmigrates, her fiancé is publicly breaking off their engagement.
The man wears a look of deep affection.
“Suihuan, there’s already someone else in my heart.”
All of the capital is waiting for the useless legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s household to cry, make a scene, and try to kill herself.
But then a book called Record of Strange Tales from the Capital suddenly appears in Jiang Suihuan’s mind.
[Lu Chengan really does have someone he loves.]
Jiang Suihuan: Oh.
[But the person he loves has someone else in their heart, too.]
Jiang Suihuan: Huh?
[And that person is getting married today.]
Jiang Suihuan: ???
Why waste time crying?
Who has time to cry when there’s gossip this juicy?
From then on, everyone in the capital gradually discovers something terrifying:
Whenever Miss Jiang of the Yongning Marquis’s household suddenly shows up near someone’s home,
that household is practically guaranteed to have trouble.
She digs up a secret the Minister of Rites’ household had kept hidden for eighteen years.
The illegitimate son causing a huge scandal in the Duke’s household turns out, after all the investigating, to have the wrong father.
The palace’s noblewomen are fighting each other to the death for the emperor’s favor, while she crouches nearby and discovers that the emperor has merely been hiding a little private spending money.
Even the Regent, rumored to be cold-blooded and indifferent to gossip, starts “happening to pass by” every day.
Jiang Suihuan: “My lord, are you here for the gossip, too?”
Xie Linyuan, expressionless: “I’m just investigating a case.”
Jiang Suihuan: “Then why did you bring sunflower seeds?”
Xie Linyuan: “...”
Later on,
while everyone else is fighting for power in the palace,
she’s eating up the gossip.
While everyone else is fighting over the throne,
she’s still eating up the gossip.
Until one day, she uncovers an old case from fifteen years ago that no one dares to mention.
Only then does Jiang Suihuan realize:
Some so-called gossip is nothing but the truth someone is desperately trying to bury.
