I might as well consider it free security service.
Gu Shengyin didn’t tell Shiao Shiao or Auntie Lin about this matter.
Firstly, she was afraid they would worry, and secondly, if they accidentally exposed their whereabouts, how would she explain that she had discovered Huangfu Qi’s people, who were operating so covertly?
Then she would have to face an even more difficult explanation.
The next day, Gu Shengyin started her "career".
The Cloud City Daily is the best-selling newspaper in the entire Cloud City.
As the Human Emperor of the Northwest Eight Provinces, the Huangfu Family has its base in Cloud City, and the newspaper is also an indicator of trends in the Northwest Eight Provinces.
Most of Cloud City Daily’s contents are about political events, with the rest being patriotic statements by famous literati and their own political commentary. The fewer parts consist of serialized short stories and a few expensive advertisements paid for by businessmen.
Gu Shengyin targeted Cloud City Daily.
Yes, what she wanted to do was to publish some short articles through Cloud City Daily.
As for the content, having experienced innumerable worlds, Gu Shengyin stated, "What do women care about the most?"
Beauty, fashion, appearance.
All beautiful things as well as those that can make them more beautiful.
The restrictions on women of this era were far too great.
Except for the occasional few who had the means and capital to pursue beauty as they wished, like Madam Shen before.
The majority of women’s daily life consisted of managing everything at home, taking care of children, and enduring their husbands’ indulgences outside, never knowing when they might bring home a beautiful mistress.
Beginning with beauty, make them more confident.
Gu Shengyin wrote her first submission letter.
She knew what Cloud City Daily was currently advocating, liberation, freedom.
The next day, a small article of a completely different style appeared in Cloud City Daily.
This lady, who goes by the pen name Lin Jianke, caught the attention of countless people with her first sentence:
"As I write this article, I have just divorced my husband. Not abandoned, but divorced. This may be the most courageous thing I have ever done in my life, and the thing I’m least likely to regret."
"...I have never done anything to wrong him, or our family, yet he wants to cast me off because he fancies another woman..."
Perhaps there was resentment and unwillingness, but more so, there was a sense of relief.
Since the Emperor is heartless, I shall renounce the throne — this saying has been passed down for a thousand years, but how many can truly do it?
In this era, such occurrences are numerous, and even Loo Zijun, upon reading it, would not suspect the foreigner to be Yan Ruohua.
Many married women gave the article thought after reading it, but the most responsive were the female students who had received a modern education.
"Well done, this is exactly how we women should be! You embrace others outside while nitpicking on me, do you really think women are made of clay?"
However, in another part of society, the article caused a huge uproar.
"It’s outrageous! The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are what women should adhere to by nature. She herself is loathed by her husband’s family, and yet she has no shame, going as far as to publish such an incident in the newspaper? This is truly a sign of the decline in public morals!" exclaimed a well-known literary giant.
"Who on earth is this Lin Jianke? Someone who cannot even keep her husband’s heart, what right does she have to be so presumptuous?"
At this moment, nobody knew what changes this woman called Lin Jianke would bring to the women of Cloud City and to the Republican Alliance in the future.
