"Ahhh!! So tiring! When will this damn boss give me a break??"
Ming Yue cursed while drinking coffee to get energy for her overtime work and happened to miss her phone's flashing screen.
Just as she sat down with a plomp, the whole building turned dark as if the day had been snuffed out.
"What a crazy day!" She muttered bitterly and leaned back in the chair to catch a rest.
Surprisingly, the sturdy chair broke...
Kacha
She directly fell down with blood oozing from her head with darkness being her only companion at the moment.
Just as her consciousness faded, the building shook and collapsed alongside various numerous buildings due to an earthquake of magnitude 8!
If only Ming Yue had seen the warning flash on her phone, she'd have saved herself...
Alas...!
Thankfully, she woke up again and almost yelled instinctively, "Just where in the nine heavens am I?"
She obviously believed she would be in heaven after her death, ahem, due to her good deeds.
But surely, heaven didn't look like a hospital...?
Suddenly, a dreadful feeling overtook her.
'What if I am alive...?'
'Sob, sob, sob, I really don't want to work in that company anymore.'
'Whoever wants to uncover international secrets and prevent war can do it!'
'Just count me out!'
Ming Yue wasn't just an ordinary employee, but a hidden spy who had been tracing international unrests and had found a lead to the company.
Alas... She had spent 3 long months, overworking almost everyday, and was on the verge of directly torturing for information.
She really couldn't hold it in anymore as tears flew from her eyes.
'Even acting coy or green tea to get some ugly man's attention wasn't as difficult as this overtime work!'
Just as Ming Yue was recounting her fate and planning an escape, unknown memories flooded her mind.
And she only had one reaction: dumbfounded.
It was one thing to get reincarnated post death...
'But to think I would become a fake daughter after enjoying so much drama from them!'
'Sigh! Maybe this is karma...'
In the past, the original rich daughter had been kidnapped and she was adopted by the grandmother as a substitute.
However, that very grandma was on her deathbed and Ming Yue had finally seen her relatives for the first time!
Unlike typical fake daughter dramas, Ming Yue had no interest in their riches and only wanted to stay by Grandma Shen's side.
To the point that she almost killed herself.
'Sigh! Looks like she was really not interested in their family wealth or anything like that.'
Though Ming Yue was confused, she wouldn't judge anyone and actually liked this.
After all, she had left her own rich family to escape an arrange marriage with a narcissistic man and became a professional spy.
Turns out her decision was right as that man had proclaimed she had begged to sleep with him...
'Like hell I would! He was just average looking and thought himself to be an incubus!'
Just then, Ming Yue's smile turned evil as she remembered stealing that man's fiancé right under his nose and making him the butt of a joke!
His fiancé came out as lesbian on their wedding!!
Ming Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud remembering that scene.
'Thankfully, I don't have to worry about any fiancés in this life!'
Just as she thought so, a discordant and disgruntled voice entered her ears, "Look! She is laughing to herself thinking of our family fortune!"
Before she could figure out anything, another voice followed, "Brother... maybe she has just gone crazy?"
'Green tea!' Ming Yue cursed in her mind at that coquettish tone, implying nothing yet everything!
"Yes, you're right Pei'er! She's gone crazy thinking about all our money!"
This time, the man's voice was closer as the door to her ward opened.
However, she didn't even have the time to register the new entrant as a strange voice echoed in her mind.
[Host found...]
[Checking Host Status...]
[Vital energy... Low... Spirit... High... Mental strength...hig-error error]
Before Ming Yue could make them out, she felt a jolt in her head and fainted, causing the man to curse at her for fainting at the perfect time!
Yet Ming Yue couldn't even hear, lost in her own mind.
'System? Is that my golden finger?' She thought with excitement, already forgetting the previous encounter with a green tea girl.
[Hello, Host! I am the best among the best, Gossip System #007!]
'A gossip system??'
Ming Yue couldn't hold her excitement!
Even the system was confused as all of its previous hosts hated it with fervor for being a good-for-nothing.
Yet this host seemed a bit different... was she crazy?
However, how could the little system know that Ming Yue was a perfect spy with every skill she could ever need except, ahem, she had no true experience in romance...
Anyways!
What mattered was her love for gossip, novels, mangas, and everything related to it!!
So, all in all, this was the perfect system for her!
If it were something like become the strongest or rule the world, she'd probably just roll her eyes and look disgusted at the poor system.
However, her enthusiasm completely stunned the system as it struggled to understand its new host.
"Quick quick! Tell me some juicy gossip!" Ming Yue demnaded after seeing the system remain silent after its introduction.
[Ah, ah?] The system's response was dumbfounded as it tried to connect the words and understand them.
But why was it that it could understand the words individually but failed to make sense of them when combined together.
"Hey! Gimme gossip, what are you waiting for? New Year's??"
Ming Yue wanted to kick the system, but found herself unable to do anything except talk to it.
So she could only "persuade" it gently.
Perhaps overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, the system replied hastily: [Your foster grandma made a dying wish to take you to the Shen Family.]
Dumbfounded by her own gossip, Ming Yue: "..." Speechless.
When I asked for gossip, did I say I wanted mine!?
