The Empress Wins the Harem by Gossiping and Taking It Easy

A powerful woman from the internet age is reborn in the most cutthroat princely manor’s inner court.

While the other women are busy fighting for favor, she sits back and enjoys the gossip!

System: [Someone will try to assassinate Prince Jin tonight.]

Liu Qiqi: [What does that have to do with me?]

System: [If the prince dies, you’ll be buried with him.]

To save her own life, Liu Qiqi has no choice but to send him a protective talisman.

From then on, Prince Jin reaches new heights in his scheming and rivalries, while Liu Qiqi works diligently at enjoying the gossip in peace. She doesn’t fight for favor or take the blame, and is determined to hide behind the men and live like a freeloader. Apart from various supporting women trying to grab attention, she keeps right on lying flat.

[Constable Ma was arresting a criminal when he accidentally bumped into a young lady from the Heavenly Fairy Pavilion, and couldn’t get back up for quite some time.]

[Minister Li’s grandson has acquired another beauty. She’s being brought into the family tomorrow.]

[The son of Shopkeeper Ma at the restaurant on the street corner isn’t his own. The scandal has blown up, and Shopkeeper Ma is going to divorce his wife.]

Liu Qiqi spends every day curled up on a soft couch, happily listening to other people’s gossip.

Then one day, she hears a huge piece of gossip about herself: [The emperor intends to make her empress.]

She immediately packs her bags and makes a run for it, only to be caught just outside the palace.

The emperor eyes the bundle in her arms. “You can spend as much gold and jewelry as you like, sleep in every day, eat whatever you want, and have all the palace maids and eunuchs at your beck and call. Once you leave the palace, none of that will be available, and no one will serve you. Are you sure you really want to go?”

Liu Qiqi says with a trembling voice, “I’ll agree to anything as long as I don’t have to be empress!”
