Unexpectedly, she survives the new emperor’s “staff cuts” and remains in service. While slacking off, her sarcastic mutterings are repeatedly overheard by the emperor himself. When she’s transferred to the Yangxin Hall with the sole duty of “telling the truth,” she discovers that behind this absurd arrangement lies the emperor’s hidden agenda—one that will take her palace career in an unforeseen direction. ✨ Character Introductions Liu Xu: A third-class maid in the Wardrobe Bureau. After ten years in the palace, her greatest dream is to save money and live a quiet rural life. Though lazy in manner, she is perceptive and sharp-tongued. Her unfiltered remarks catch the emperor’s attention, and amid the palace’s constraints and unexpected opportunities, she gradually discovers her own worth. Chu Yue: The newly enthroned emperor. Outwardly dignified and composed, inwardly weary of flattery and hypocrisy. Upon overhearing Liu Xu’s refreshingly blunt comments, he transfers her to serve as his personal “listening post,” using her candor to understand the voice of the lower ranks—while quietly keeping an eye on her. Madam Tanxiang: Head of the Wardrobe Bureau. Stern and inflexible but kind at heart. Initially disapproving of Liu Xu’s idleness, she later steps in to protect her in times of trouble and becomes a witness to Liu Xu’s unusual path. Chunya: A young maid in the Wardrobe Bureau. Cheerful and innocent, she depends on Liu Xu for guidance and companionship. She embodies the simple wish for stability shared by many ordinary palace maids. 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a story! 🎧 Follow us for more: Full playlists by novel Special short stories and extras Behind-the-scenes on translating ancient tales 💬 Tell us your favorite character or moment in the comments below! #MoonlitStories #Audiobook #ChineseRomance #HistoricalRomance #AncientChina #LoveStories #TranslatedNovels
