The Mind-Reading Mute: The Princess Consort Plays the Fool to Outsmart Her Foes

On the second day of the second month in the ninth year of the Southern Kingdom, the day the dragon raises its head, the Sima family of the capital welcomed two baby girls on the same day. The legitimate eldest daughter, Sima Yan'er, was born mute. Her father did not dote on her, her mother did not love her, and even her name was chosen by her grandmother. The concubine-born daughter, Sima Ling'er, was healthy and adorable, beloved by everyone. That same month, the Old Madam of the Sima family took her two granddaughters’ birth charts to Lingshan Temple to consult a high-ranking monk. No one knew what he had divined. All they knew was that after the girls’ month-old celebration, the Old Madam returned to the old family home in Nanyang with her mute granddaughter. She stayed away for sixteen years! Sixteen years later, Sima Yan'er, now with a different soul inside her, returned to the capital. As soon as she arrived, she crossed paths with Prince Lin Wei Mo, who seemed to have mistaken her for someone else. Thus, a secret hidden for many years and a royal scandal came to light once more. And she was dragged into it, with her life hanging in the balance!
