[Mind Reading and Gossip] [Everyone's Publicly Humiliated] [Daily Madness] [Lighthearted, No Angst]
Shen You transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking official at the Court of Judicial Review, a woman disguised as a man. Every day, she barely makes it through court on sheer force of will.
Fortunately, she binds herself to the Court Gossip Check-In System. As long as she checks in and gossips, she can exchange points for life-extending pills to treat her frail, blind grandmother.
She'd planned to be invisible at court every day, treating the morning session like a "train-station cafeteria opening for lunch": have some gossip, then clock out.
What she doesn't know is that the entire court can hear her thoughts!
[What? The Grand Secretary looks so upright, but last night he was punished with kneeling on a washboard after fighting his wife over a piece of osmanthus cake?]
Grand Secretary: ... (He silently covers his knees with his wide sleeves.)
[I'm dying! Is the Great General's muscle fake? Is he stuffing cotton into his clothes?]
Great General: ... (He clutches his collar on the spot, his face turning red.)
[Holy crap! The cold and irritable Regent is actually obsessed with plush toys. He has to cuddle a little pink bunny to sleep?!]
Regent Lu Xingyuan fixes his knife-sharp gaze on the little runt huddled in the corner, desperately trying to hold back laughter.
Shen You gossips until she's stuffed every day, but notices that the officials are looking at her with more and more affection. The emperor even keeps promoting her!
Shen You: What's going on with this court? I haven't even done anything yet. Why are you all lying flat and letting me roast you?
