After All the Noble Houses Hear the Salty Young Lady's Inner Thoughts
After pulling an all-nighter on an experiment and fainting, researcher Sun Mingyue transmigrated into ancient times as the noblewoman Changsun Mingyue, and began living a life of fine clothes, delicious food, and fifty servants.
Changsun Mingyue planned to laze around, but discovered that the noble ladies were locked in fierce competition, comparing beauty and talent to land good husbands. It was competitive, extremely competitive, unbelievably competitive.
Changsun Mingyue had no intention of joining in. In her previous life, she competed for money. Now she had both money and free time, so watching the noble ladies scheme against one another was much more entertaining. A voice rang out: "Ding! To make it easier for you to watch the drama, you've been bound to a gossip-watching System. The System will also share your inner thoughts with random people from time to time."
At a palace banquet, Noble Lady A mocked Changsun Mingyue's laziness to the empress.
But the empress heard Changsun Mingyue's inner thoughts: This woman was plotting with the Imperial Noble Consort just yesterday to frame the empress, and mocking her for being weak. Now she's sucking up to her? The empress is just kindhearted. If they ever fought, the empress's intelligence would beat the Imperial Noble Consort's ten times over. This idiot picked the wrong side.
The empress addressed the noble ladies with righteous conviction: "Changsun Mingyue respects her elders and is intelligent. She is a model for all the noble ladies. Some people, on the other hand, are nothing but gossips."
The noblewomen and young ladies stared in shock, then had no choice but to agree with the empress that Changsun Mingyue was indeed a model for them all.
At the hunting grounds, the Imperial Noble Consort told the emperor that Changsun Mingyue was uneducated and useless.
But the emperor heard Changsun Mingyue's inner thoughts: You call me uneducated and useless, but Prince An, who sneaks around with you and flirts with you, is the one who's truly uneducated and useless. Are you blind? You can't see the emperor's skill in governing the realm through civil means and securing it through military might, yet you like that useless man who flirts with you.
The emperor sat upright and addressed his ministers: "Changsun Mingyue's talent and learning are second to none in the capital. I hereby grant her the title of Number One Talented Lady."
The ministers all agreed: "The emperor is wise. Miss Changsun is indeed the Number One Talented Lady."
The fiercely competitive noble ladies were deeply dissatisfied, convinced that no young nobleman would ever like Changsun Mingyue.
Then came the Qixi Festival banquet:
The young, accomplished Cavalry General, returning in triumph, heard Changsun Mingyue's inner thoughts: Handsome, charming, and a peerless hero, but he's not attentive and has no time to listen to my gossip. No.
The top scorer in the imperial examinations, born into a distinguished family, heard Changsun Mingyue's inner thoughts: More handsome than Pan An, brilliantly talented and elegant, but too aloof and not interested in listening to my gossip. No.
The dignified and refined Crown Prince heard Changsun Mingyue's inner thoughts: A jade tree in full bloom, wise and decisive, with the realm in his heart, but he'd take a crowd of wives and concubines. No.
Everyone was stunned to see the general, the top scorer, and the other noble young men go out of their way to show off in front of Changsun Mingyue. Even the Crown Prince came up to her and said, "I will marry only one person in my life."
