"What's Wrong with an Intelligence Chief Opening a Newspaper?" Zhu Jiang is an undercover agent trained by the emperor, Wen Leyi. Normally, she should be clearing every obstacle in his path from the shadows. But Zhu Jiang has other plans. Thanks to her mind-reading ability, which works only some of the time but is always great for uncovering gossip, she discovers one colleague after another from another world, as well as a reborn woman and a transmigrated woman passing by in the capital. Using the intelligence budget she and her colleagues receive, she opens a gossip newspaper. What is the true background of the concubine newly taken by Officer Qin? Why doesn't the only son of Marquis Jingyang look like his father? Why were the real and fake heiresses switched at birth? Why would someone who loves a woman marry her older sister instead? The Gossip Society brings you the inside scoop on the capital's elite. We also have plenty of serialized stories! What? You want to know if our stories are true? The newspaper's editor-in-chief can read minds. She'll make sure you get the freshest gossip straight from the source. The reborn woman knows a few things about the future. The intelligence division led by Zhu Jiang will become the sharpest blade in the hands of the tyrant. Rumor has it there's no secret they can't uncover. The reborn woman makes up her mind to steer clear of her. As she carefully walks past Zhu Jiang, Zhu Jiang thinks: Hm? Let's see what I've found. When the reborn woman tearfully writes in to the newspaper about her past-life romance, she still can't figure out how she gave herself away. The transmigrated woman comes from the future and knows about the most terrifying intelligence division in the tyrant's hands. Rumor has it that several years later, the rebellion of the three princes will be crushed by the emperor in a single night, with the division playing a part. One day, she walks past Zhu Jiang. As she grudgingly writes a story for the newspaper about a scheming prince and his runaway darling, she still can't figure out when she let her guard down. Zhu Jiang: It's mind-reading, mind-reading! All right, the newspaper's deadline is coming up, so get writing. What do you mean you won't finish in time? Then stay up all night and finish it. * Wen Leyi is the tyrant of legend. He orders his intelligence division to spread rumors that make him look bad, hoping to mislead the three princes and lure them out. The task is given to Zhu Jiang. Her master repeatedly reminds her: "Don't make the rumors too awful, or the emperor will lose face. But don't make them too mild, either, or they won't serve their purpose. You're old enough to figure out what to do yourself." At last, the truth about the assignment comes out. Wen Leyi sits high upon his throne, looking down at his subordinate, who kneels before him in a wretched state. "Who told you to spread rumors that I can't perform?" Zhu Jiang: This is so hard. * What intelligence chief? I just run a little newspaper! What undercover agent? Don't make things up, or I'll report you to the authorities for slander! Why am I spreading rumors about the emperor and gathering intelligence? That's just a contract our newspaper took on. Theme: Never give up hope, even in desperate circumstances.
