share time: 2026-01-11 00:37:46

Lin Jingzhou, Minister of Revenue, suddenly fell critically ill and couldn't attend court. His twin sister Lin Wanzhao had to disguise herself as a man to take his place. She planned to feign a "sickly official" to muddle through, only to catch Emperor Xie Zhao in the imperial study—holding her recent "All Officials Gossiping" drawing and trying not to laugh. That casual doodle for fun was taken by the emperor as a "court observation report." In the court, Lin Wanzhao handled the censor's sharp questions while hiding her burning ears from Xie Zhao's proximity; Xie Zhao quietly helped her lie while sneaking osmanthus cakes into her hands—turns out, from the moment she entered the palace, all officials recognized this "flustered Minister Lin," even the imperial kitchen eunuch gave her extra cakes. When the "fake minister" meets the "pretending-clueless emperor," in the court's "gossip game," a sweet love hidden under court robes is blooming—turns out the sweetest gossip is always each other.
