I Only Wanted to Marry Up, Yet the Prime Minister Can Hear My Thoughts

[Female lead pursues male lead, but moves on if she can’t win him over + strong woman, weaker man, and competing male suitors] Shi Yuan transmigrates into a trashy novel called Crazy for You in This Life and the Next. [Good news]: She knows some of the plot in advance. [Bad news]: She’s transmigrated into the body of a maid who was sold off by her former master. Seriously, what kind of novel would spell out the life of a maid in such detail? Is the author sick? It’s settled: Shi Yuan’s golden finger is completely useless. Without a princess’s fate, she’s not about to catch a princess’s disease. To stay alive, Shi Yuan does any job that’ll keep her from starving: odd jobs, begging, fighting, gambling, anything. Until one day, she realizes a young master from a wealthy family seems to have his eye on her. As the Prime Minister’s grandson and a born heir of the century-old Shen clan, Shen Zhizhou feels that life is dull and predictable. Fine clothes, fine food, silk and satin, and sycophantic flattery all make him sick. Then one day, as usual, he sits in the Moonrise Tower sipping tea. But this time, he hears the thoughts of a woman who makes her living through scams and tricks. From then on, Shen Zhizhou’s life is turned upside down. Years later, Shi Yuan looks at the eight-man bridal sedan carrying her off and the glittering gold piled behind it. Completely baffled, she asks, “Shen Zhizhou, what exactly do you see in me?” Shen Zhizhou smiles adoringly. “Everything!”
