Summary

As the daughter of a censor, Jiang Lübao was interrogated in prison for a night, her reputation ruined and her betrothal annulled. She breathed her last. The office worker who transmigrates into her body is overjoyed: wealthy family, no need to marry—what a deal! The real Jiang Lübao is dead; the one who wakes is her from another world. Jiang Lübao, former journalist, transmigrated into the framed daughter of the Jiang family. Pointed at by everyone, she chooses—to make money! Where there are people, there is gossip. Jiang Lübao founds the newspaper Jue Zha (Exposing the Scum), dedicated to the unknown secrets of Shengjing's unmarried men, providing information services for women who, in this era of blind marriages, are always at a disadvantage. The heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, a second-generation official of Shengjing, declares, "Woman, you have successfully caught my attention." Jiang Lübao's eyes light up. "Your Highness, I hear your father suspects your mother had an affair with Emperor Jiahe. How do you explain that?"

Editor's review

Using a soul-transmigration premise as its hook, this book transplants a former journalist's professional instincts into ancient Shengjing, making "making money" a pragmatic path of female self-rescue. The highlight is that the protagonist does not get trapped in the old narrative of ruined reputation; instead she founds the newspaper Jue Zha, turning gossip into an information service and offering premarital investigation to women caught in blind marriages—light in subject matter yet sharp in real-world edge. The romance thread begins with the Prince of Zhenbei's heir being "caught" by her, and the dialogue carries a teasing, counterattacking wit, making it suitable as light reading for commutes or bedtime. While reading, watch how the protagonist embeds modern information awareness into the ancient network of human relations, and the tug-of-war between running a newspaper and officialdom—these details are more chewy than pure sweet romance. The overall pace is brisk, suited to readers of ancient romance who want a non-frustrating story with a livelihood-driven main plot.
