Description
Gu Xicao transmigrated into a penniless orphan who illegally smuggled herself into Hong Kong during the 1990s. She has no money and is about to be kicked out, her only cheat is the Gossip System! Gu Xicao: “Don’t panic—watch me pull off a little trick.” In the extravagant and booming 1990s Hong Kong, where feng shui and fortune-telling runs deep across all classes, from humble workers to high-ranking officials, Gu Xicao made her grand entrance. She doesn’t need to divine fortunes or analyze faces—just give her a name, and she can see through your past, present, and future. “Miss Zhou, you lost your father as a child, your husband in middle age, and your son in old age. This is not a life of loneliness; it means you are destined for great success. The wise don’t fall into the trap of love—focus on building a better China.” Ms. Zhou, who had returned from studying abroad, was enlightened. She abandoned emotional entanglements, worked hard on her career, and rose as a shining star in the business world. “Mr. Wu, the bad news is your wife and your close friend are plotting against you—even trying to take your life. The good news is your ex-wife and daughter still care for you.” The big boss in the legal circle turned pale, immediately filed for divorce, and rushed to reconcile with his ex-wife, offering hundreds of millions in assets, leaving everyone in Hong Kong stunned. A serial killer terrorized the city, leaving citizens too afraid to go out at night. The police headquarters issued a strict deadline: the killer must be caught within three days. Yet Inspector Lin apprehended the criminal the very next morning. Facing reporters, he said: “Catching the killer was all thanks to Master Gu’s accurate calculations!” In an instant, Gu Xicao’s reputation soared, making her the top fortune-teller in Hong Kong. Countless newspapers featured her achievements, and high-ranking officials and the wealthy scrambled to get her contact information. Gu Xicao: “At first, I just wanted to make enough for the rent.”

My Thoughts on I Rely on the Gossip System to Fake Being a Master [90s]
"I Rely on the Gossip System to Fake Being a Master [90s]" had me hooked initially with its intriguing premise. A modern-day system administrator transmigrating into the 90s with a gossip system? Sign me up! The blend of modern knowledge and retro setting screamed potential for a fun, engaging read. However, my experience with this novel was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some highs and some definite lows.
First Impressions
The early chapters were definitely the strongest. I found the protagonist's initial struggles and her clever use of the gossip system to navigate her new reality quite entertaining. The bite-sized cases of "fortune-telling," as some might call it, were well-paced and kept me invested. It felt fresh and not at all repetitive, which is a huge plus in the web novel world.
What Works Well
The initial concept is undeniably strong. The author did a solid job of setting up the premise and introducing the characters. I particularly enjoyed the early interactions and the way the protagonist used her system to solve problems and gain influence. The 90s setting also added a layer of nostalgia and charm.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the story seemed to lose its way as it progressed. The gossip system, which was the core of the novel's appeal, started to fade into the background, becoming less and less relevant. This made the protagonist's actions feel less like the result of clever system usage and more like she just possessed innate fortune-telling abilities, which wasn't the initial impression I got.

The initial concept and execution were promising, but the story ultimately faltered due to plot inconsistencies and shifts in character and tone. While the first half is definitely worth a read, the latter half may leave some readers feeling disappointed.
