The Tyrant Father Hears My Thoughts and Goes on a Killing Spree

Helian Sisi transmigrates into a book as a little princess, the daughter of a concubine who has been banished to the cold palace. Worse, she’s a poor soul whom her tyrant father throws into a tub to drown at birth. As she’s about to be dumped into the water, she curses him furiously in her mind. [No wonder everyone around you is a spy. No wonder your most beloved Consort Yun is going to take you out with one slash.] [You even kill your own daughter! Are you even human?] Then... At the last moment, the tyrant pulls Helian Sisi out of the water. The one held under the water is Consort Yun instead. Helian Sisi becomes the only princess raised in the tyrant’s palace. One day, after sentencing a civil official’s entire family to death in court, the tyrant returns to his chambers and hears his little daughter chattering away. [If nothing unexpected happens, my dad is going to kill someone again today. Does he know who’s about to be executed with their whole family? They’re his own father’s relatives! How could his own father have plotted a rebellion?] The next day, the tyrant grants a general amnesty, pardons the official’s family, and restores all of them to their former posts. [My dad isn’t really a bad person. The Grand Tutor deliberately taught him the wrong things. The art of ruling isn’t about stopping killing with killing or repaying violence with violence.] The tyrant ponders this for a moment, then sends a spy to steal a book on the art of ruling from the enemy’s palace. He studies it diligently every day. The dynasty, which was supposed to fall within three years, grows ever more prosperous. The original male lead, who was supposed to overthrow the tyrant and take his place, turns out to be a former prince of the enemy dynasty, restoring his own country instead. The tyrant, meanwhile, becomes known among the people as an emperor for the ages. Helian Sisi: [Oh no, I think I transmigrated into the wrong book.]
