[Blurb One]:
Lu Feiyu, an ordinary passerby who died after being dragged down by a scumbag couple, was bound to a System after death. It demanded that he livestream all kinds of spectacular gossip for the gossip-hungry masses of the future.
To that end, the System tossed him into an old-fashioned, once wildly popular melodramatic romance novel, The Side Consort's Comeback: The Evil Prince's Runaway Heiress, where he became... the personal maid of a famous courtesan in the capital's most popular brothel.
Forced into cross-dressing, Lu Feiyu: ...Fine. As long as there's gossip to enjoy.
A few months later, Lu Feiyu discovered that this most popular brothel was truly full of hidden talent. Besides the "Evil Prince's Runaway Heiress," there was also the "Cold-Faced General's Divorced Wife," the "Playboy Heir's Sweetheart and Nemesis," and the "Iceberg Divine Doctor's Beautiful Fiancee"...
Lu Feiyu: ...Did I transmigrate into an anthology!?
The System consoled him: As long as life goes on, the melodrama never stops. Tonight, we're all here for the gossip!
Lu Feiyu, realizing he'd been stuck to by someone like a piece of gum: I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!
[Blurb Two]
The Most Popular Brothel sits right beneath the Son of Heaven's nose. Though it's a house of pleasure, its reputation for beauty is renowned far and wide. First came a courtesan whose fame shook the capital and whose beauty was peerless. Then came an opera master whose melodies lingered for three days. There was also a quick-witted storyteller with a ready quip for every occasion, a female doctor with the miraculous healing hands of Hua Tuo reborn, and the wealthy Master Su, a charming man who everyone wanted to pursue, yet who was flirtatious without being lecherous. Its star-studded lineup could rival a twenty-first-century talent agency.
For Lu Feiyu, it was the perfect place to enjoy the gossip.
Everyone in the capital thought Master Su frequented the Most Popular Brothel for its peerlessly talented and beautiful courtesan. Then one day, in front of every other bidder, he paid five thousand taels of silver for an utterly unremarkable little maid at her side...
Some were resentful, some jealous, and some just sour.
Only Lu Feiyu's System was thrilled. "Is this the ancient version of a domineering CEO falling in love with me?"
Lu Feiyu chuckled. "I'm here to enjoy the gossip, not make it!"
The deep-pocketed Master Su replied, "I'm afraid that's not up to you."
Warnings: This is a fictional setting, the entire story is made up, logic serves the plot, the writing is amateurish, and the plot is ridiculous.
