Description
Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times. Good news: He’s bound to a system. Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people’s private information and scandals. Utterly useless. More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown. Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler… doesn’t understand the classics, can’t write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams. Xu Yanmiao: “…” Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel. … In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear. Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System. Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around. —The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem. * The “imperial exam cheating” bomb finally exploded. Xu Yanmiao couldn’t explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn’t match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn’t understand the classics. The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn. Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary: How do I explain the source of my information… The general’s body shook, and he interjected: “Your Majesty!!!!” “Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there’s still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu… Xu… Xu Yanmiao’s attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!” The crown prince, who couldn’t hear his thoughts: ?? The Imperial Academy lecturer’s face went pale, and he burst out: “Your Majesty!!!!” “I… I agree with the General’s words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He… he… he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!” Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ?? Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved. “Bang—” The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: “I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!” The civil and military officials couldn’t wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip. “Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!” “Long live Your Majesty!” “Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You’ve tired him out by making him stand for so long!” The crown prince: ?? Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something?

My Thoughts on Echoes of My Heart Throughout the Court
"Echoes of My Heart Throughout the Court" is a wild ride, to say the least. I went in expecting a historical comedy, and while it definitely delivers on the humor, it's also got a surprising amount of depth and emotional resonance. This novel is funny, dramatic, and thought-provoking all at once.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the comedic tone. The premise is ridiculous enough to grab your attention, and the early chapters are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. The idea of a modern mind navigating the complexities of ancient Chinese court life, complete with inner monologues that everyone else can hear, is pure gold.
What Works Well
The world-building is phenomenal. The author clearly did their homework, and the details of ancient Chinese society really come to life. What I really enjoyed was how the story balances the humor with more serious themes. It tackles issues like misogyny and corruption head-on, but does so in a way that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. I also appreciated the unique storytelling. The MC's role as a catalyst for change, even without actively trying to be, is a refreshing take on the genre. The character development, especially of the Emperor and other court officials, is surprisingly well-done. Seeing them gradually influenced by the MC's modern sensibilities is fascinating. Many readers praised the ending, finding it both emotional and satisfying.
Areas of Concern
There were a few things that gave me pause. Several readers mentioned the misogynistic themes, and while the story does attempt to address them, it can be uncomfortable at times. The MC's lack of romantic interest may be a pro for some, but others might find it a bit lacking. Also, it was brought up that the ending can feel rushed, which might leave some readers wanting more closure.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Echoes of My Heart Throughout the Court" is a unique and enjoyable novel. It's funny, thought-provoking, and surprisingly emotional. While it's not without its flaws, the strengths of the story far outweigh the weaknesses. If you're looking for a historical comedy with a bit of depth and a lot of heart, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a wild ride!
