After They Heard My Thoughts, the Whole Capital Joined Me for Gossip

Mu Wan was bound to a System that sent her out to earn energy every day. Whenever she made someone’s emotions fluctuate dramatically, she could earn points and exchange them for all sorts of goodies.

But Mu Wan, who had been switched at birth, was mute.

A little mute who couldn’t communicate and whom no one cared about.

[System: Either you turn bad in silence or you go crazy in silence! I’m going crazy, going... Never mind, let’s just give up.]

Who could blame it? It hadn’t done its research before binding itself to her. It might as well wait for the mission to fail!

When she learned that her adoptive mother planned to sell her to a widower who had beaten two wives to death, Mu Wan grabbed whatever she could and decided to run away.

[Ding! Emotional fluctuation +1. Here’s a newbie gift pack!]

It was a pretty useless gift pack, and Mu Wan thought the System was utterly useless.

[System: Wait, wait, Host. I know you’re fed up with me, but hold on. I’ve got some juicy gossip. Want to hear it?]

[Mu Wan: What? You’re saying my grandmother called the head steward to her room last night?]

[Mu Wan: My father’s concubine was laughing in the groom’s arms?]

[Mu Wan: There’s juicy gossip at the prince’s house next door?]

[Ding! Maid’s emotional fluctuation +1]

[Ding! Matron’s emotional fluctuation +1]

[Ding! Lackey’s emotional fluctuation +1]

Mu Wan had no idea that everyone in the capital could hear her conversations with the System.

Her points kept shooting up, and the System was over the moon. Who said being mute was a bad thing? This mute girl was simply wonderful, mysterious and fascinating!

What? What? The crown prince under house arrest wants to win her over? Forget it. The little mute is busy earning points!
