The Prince Consort Is a Drama Queen, but the Princess Can Read Minds

Princess Shen Mingzhu is humiliatingly married off to Xie Lang, the capital's most notorious wastrel. On their wedding night, she storms into a brothel with her sword, only to discover that whenever she touches Xie Lang, she can hear his thoughts.

After trying it repeatedly, she learns that Xie Lang dares to be angry but not say a word:

[Annoying. I have to find a chance to break her hand!]

Shen Mingzhu silently pulls her hand away and settles in to watch her consort's daily performance.

Her consort isn't really a wastrel, but he loves putting on an act in front of her. He's cold-hearted and ruthless, yet plays the harmless little white flower whenever she's around.

Shen Mingzhu thinks, Let him be. She can read minds, after all!

Until one day, when the emperor sends her several male companions, Shen Mingzhu suddenly hears Xie Lang plotting to himself:

[Tonight, I'll toss all these male pets into the moat to feed the fish, then make sure she can't get out of bed for three days and three nights!]

She looks up to see him beaming as he says, "Your Highness, don't worry. I'll take good care of them."

Shen Mingzhu cries out in alarm, "Don't come any closer!"
