[Gossip] [Court-wide Mind Reading] [Doted On] [Female Young Master]
She was originally a modern-day corporate drone who transmigrated into the body of Xiao Yaozu, a profligate son in Bianjing City. She is also the legitimate and eldest “young master” of the Xiao Mansion, who was just found and brought back. Having lived adrift, she picked up many bad habits—indulging in debauchery with coarse manners, unloved by her father and mother. To make matters worse, she is afflicted with Gu poison and, despite possessing the most beautiful face in the world, is destined to die before her eighteenth birthday.
Fortunately, upon transmigrating, she bonded with a melon-eating system. As long as she actively “eats melons” (partakes in gossip), she can continue to live.
Thanks to her ancestors’ meritorious service, the eldest son of the Xiao Mansion was granted an official position, which fell to her. Disguised as a man, she became a civil servant in ancient times: a Seventh-Rank Compiler.
On her first day at work, the content of her chat with the system was heard by all the civil and military officials of the court.
Melon-eating system: [Host, the Emperor is about to die!!]
???!
[My boss is about to kick the bucket right after I became an official… It’s not that I’m heartless, but let me just weakly ask, will my salary still be paid?]
The Emperor: […]
Saying he’s dead right in front of him? And shamelessly asking if she’ll still get paid? He’d like to see just who this shameless person is!
The court officials were as silent as cicadas in winter. “…” Who on earth was exposing their secrets? It felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from behind. The ministers couldn’t help but clench their sphincters and hold their breath.
They never expected that the days to come would be truly spectacular.
[System, who is that man standing at the very front of the officials’ ranks? I think spring has arrived for me.]
[Host, you’re doomed! You’ve fallen in love!!]
The Eighth Prince never imagined that on an ordinary day at court, he would hear someone’s inner thoughts. And she even dared to covet him.
From incomprehension, wariness, and curiosity, it eventually turned into true love.
