A Lazy time traveler

Have you ever imagined an insanely lazy modern-day cybersecurity expert suddenly time traveling back into ancient times? That's the hilarious twist of fate awaiting Xu Yanmiao, a guy whose one and only dream in life is to lie flat and wait for death day after day.

Instead of hitting the books to climb the official ladder or diving into brutal court politics, our guy picks total brainlessness. He doesn't get ancient classics at all, and his brush handwriting is hideous, but man, he has a legendary talent for feigning intense focus.

Having an MC who is ridiculously, overwhelmingly lazy brings such a breath of fresh air! It saved the novel from getting bogged down in heavy political intrigue, turning the whole story into a genuinely refreshing entertainment zone.

A Glitchy Gossip System

The absolute highlight and funniest part of the novel is how our protagonist gets saddled with an outdated Gossip System. Forget teaching him martial arts or boosting his cultivation level—this thing exclusively collects the most scandalous private dirt on everyone around.

At first, Xu Yanmiao himself thought this system was utterly useless in ancient times, so he just used it for laughs. He'd casually scroll through the system feeds right in the middle of solemn imperial court sessions, happily munching popcorn and sipping tea on all the juiciest scandals of the emperor and the entire court.

Then came a hilarious glitch: all his inner thoughts and the system's leaked secrets started broadcasting out loud! The entire group of civil and military officials, alongside the emperor himself, could clearly hear every single one of his clueless, unfiltered commentary.

The Imperial Court Shaken by Tea

Suddenly having the whole court hear the internal thoughts of a total slacker turned boring, serious imperial court sessions into wild group tea-spilling sessions. High officials were trembling in fear that their own dirty secrets would get exposed, yet they were dying of curiosity to hear the juicy drama about their colleagues!

Even the wise emperor was stuck laughing and crying over the bombshell revelations regarding his ministers' private lives. Unintentionally, these sensitive system leaks helped the court expose corrupt officials, handle a wave of natural disasters, and quickly fill up the royal treasury.

The hilarious disconnect between an oblivious Xu Yanmiao happily browsing juicy gossip and the entire court holding their breath to listen produces absolute comedy gold. This clever setup effortlessly turns complex political conflicts into uncontrollable laugh-out-loud moments.

Highlights Worth Every Penny

• The concept of a melon-eating novel is handled brilliantly, bringing a fresh twist and endless belly laughs for readers.
• The side cast is wonderfully rich, crafted in a vibrant no-cp group portrait novel style where everyone has their own quirky personality and absurd secrets.
• Integrating national crisis management through gossip and rumors feels surprisingly logical, natural, and never forced.
• The story maintains its upbeat, comedic pace all the way through without falling into melodramatic tropes or dragging endlessly.

A Few Minor Flaws to Note

• Because it leans heavily into comedy and juicy drama, the historical palace intrigue side is simplified and lacks heart-pounding tension.
• The main character, Xu Yanmiao, can feel a bit too passive at times, since all his heroic kingdom-saving feats come purely from his unintentional inner voice being overheard.
• Some leak setups and the shocked reactions from the court get a bit repetitive midway through, which might feel slightly repetitive.

What Readers Are Saying

• Novel Updates: 4.3/5 (19 reviews, 2301-2305 readers, checked 01/10/2026), with reviewers praising its top-tier entertainment value and unique humor.
• Douban: Praised as a fantastic melon-eating novel—super hilarious, wildly addictive, and a high-quality no-cp group portrait novel.

Final Verdict

Overall, this is a perfect pick if you're looking for pure comedy to unwind after a brutal day at work. Blending modern cybersecurity mindsets with ancient court drama yields a true entertainment masterpiece.

While it has a few minor flaws in political depth, its sheer wit and charming storytelling more than make up for it. You're guaranteed to be laughing until you cry following the MC's gossip adventures.

A uniquely hilarious melon-eating novel where a glitch in Xu Yanmiao's Gossip System accidentally saves an entire dynasty through scandal-spilling!
