After My Engagement Was Broken Off, I Rose to Power by Eavesdropping on Gossip

[Female-led story + gossip System + ancient-style political intrigue + play the pig to eat the tiger + face-slapping comeback + equally matched leads] Prince Qi and her half-sister brought Shen Changge a cup of poisoned wine. They accused her of treason, a crime beyond forgiveness. Shen Changge should have accepted her fate. But when she looked up, she saw a line of golden text floating above Prince Qi's head: “Three li outside the city, in an abandoned well on Slope Three, the dragon robe with five claws that Prince Qi had secretly made is hidden.” Shen Changge swept the poisoned wine to the ground. Then she sent her personal maid to beat the grievance drum at the Jingzhao Prefecture. Half an hour later, the Imperial Guards surrounded Prince Qi's residence. The haughty prince was pinned to the ground, eating dirt. Her half-sister begged for mercy, but couldn't even reach the hem of Shen Changge's skirt. From that day on, the winds in the capital changed completely. A Ministry of Revenue official had an account book floating above his head. A Ministry of War official had the location of his mistress floating above his. With the secrets of the entire court in her grasp, Shen Changge stepped over their bones and blood, making her way to the throne.
