In the blink of an eye, she became a lowly concubine-born daughter in the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion in the capital. For the past ten years, she had lived a fairly carefree life. When she turned ten, the golden finger System that every transmigrator was bound to receive finally came online. The Gossip System existed purely for gossip: whenever she got a juicy story, she would earn silver. Luckily, the Marquis of Xuanping's household was wealthy and powerful. Jian Ruoning's father was a nobleman, her legal mother came from an illustrious clan, her grandmother belonged to the imperial family, and her eldest sister was the heir's wife. None of them was particularly outstanding, but they had relatives everywhere, and juicy gossip was never in short supply. What? The new young lady cousin in the mansion is planning to elope with her sweetheart? What? The top scholar in the capital has abandoned his wife and child? And he married into her family? What? Her sister-in-law, who is so dutiful to her parents-in-law and considerate toward her husband, has a secret beloved? What? The only son of the Duke of Yong's household is a real-or-fake young master? What? Commandery Princess Danyang likes the capital's number-one wastrel? Jian Ruoning felt like a melon-eating badger in a melon patch, completely content. Who could have guessed that one day she herself would become the biggest piece of gossip in the entire capital? Thanks to her deed of saving the Empress Dowager, she was made Commandery Princess Qingning. Then she was betrothed to an imperial grandson. And in the end, she even became empress? Note: 1.

Coming Soon: The Crown Princess Just Wants to Lie Flat and Enjoy the Gossip (Qing Dynasty): Shi Huaizhi transmigrated, and the System told her that she only needed to complete the coming-of-age storyline for a daughter of an official's family to return to the modern world and achieve a successful life. After working herself to the bone to complete the game, the System malfunctioned, and she didn't make it back. However, the System promised that if she accumulated enough points and energy this time, it would definitely send her home. The best way to accumulate points seemed to be entering the palace and completing the main storyline of the game's next stage: becoming empress, then empress dowager. Shi Huaizhi had no choice but to agree. She had planned to find out whether this "unknown dynasty" held selection trials for palace consorts and see if she could get into the palace. After all, with the skills she had acquired in the life-simulation game, she was confident she could thrive in the harem. But once the stupid game removed its background filter, she discovered that her surname was actually Gūwalgiya, and this was the Qing Dynasty! Well, that was convenient. She wouldn't have to go through palace selection. An imperial edict named her Crown Princess, and she was married to Yinzhen. Who didn't know that being crown prince was one of the most dangerous jobs in ancient times? Half of all crown princes met tragic ends, and Yinzhen was even worse: deposed and reinstated twice, then confined until his death. If the crown prince couldn't make it, how could the crown princess fare any better? From the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi to the fifty-first, she would only be crown princess for sixteen years. After being confined, she would die in five or six years, before even reaching forty. The System had ruined her! But then Shi Huaizhi suddenly realized that after she got married, her mission had been completed automatically! It turned out that becoming crown princess counted as an achievement too. She could go home! She didn't have to die, so what was she waiting for? Time to lie flat! Yinzhen had no particular expectations for his crown princess. His father had chosen her, so she was sure to be virtuous and talented, fit to rule the realm as empress one day. And when he met her, she was indeed just as expected. The young woman smiled warmly, her bearing elegant and composed, without a hint of shyness or nervousness on her wedding night. That was fine, too. He could trust her with the Yukun Palace. But he hadn't expected this crown princess to be quite so different from what he'd imagined. When the secondary consort brought people to pay their respects, she really did nothing but serve them tea and send them away at once, leaving the consort so worried that she rushed to him to apologize. When the eldest prince held a first-birthday celebration for his daughter, she really did nothing but play with the child, leaving those who wanted to sow discord between the eldest prince and the crown prince at a loss. When Consort De and the Fourth Prince had a falling-out, she was asked to comfort Consort De. While everyone else was saying that Consort De didn't dislike the Fourth Prince, she actually said that her own father had died when she was very young, so she had it worse. And somehow, the Fourth Prince really was comforted. What kind of logic was that? When he argued with his imperial father, she said nothing to his face, but behind his back she remarked, "A widower raising a child wants his kid to be a daddy's boy, but the kid doesn't want to play along." He began to worry a little. Could she really be a good crown princess? As it turned out, she was not only a good crown princess, but also a good empress and empress dowager.
