Life in the Qing Dynasty: I Get By Through Trading Secrets

A teahouse mysteriously appeared outside the capital. Though it was in a remote location, people came and went every day.

At the counter, a man in plain clothes spoke to the air.

"Let me tell you a secret. I secretly killed a pig at my neighbor's house."

As soon as he finished, a fair hand reached out from behind the curtain and placed fifty wen on the counter. The man happily scooped up the money and left.

The next man came in right after him.

"I have a secret too, and it's even bigger than his. I poisoned my father to death."

As soon as he finished, two taels of silver appeared on the counter. The man happily grabbed the money and ran off as well.

The next man came in and continued,

"I've sold all my own secrets. I'll tell you someone else's instead. My master keeps a mistress outside the home, and his wife doesn't know."

As soon as he finished, five taels of silver appeared on the counter...

Greed knows no bounds. After the secrets of everyone around her had been sold, Su Qian, hidden behind the curtain, could only sigh to herself: You're on your own now.

There are also some original additions.
