A public humiliation? Not a chance! Transported into the body of an unlucky empress who’s been given a fertility-blocking potion, Su Ruanruan opens her eyes and discovers she’s gained a golden finger: she can hear people’s thoughts. The tyrant says with a cold face, “The harem must not meddle in politics,” while his thoughts are frantically scrolling: “It’d be great if she came to the imperial study every day.” The white-lotus beauty cries, “Save me, Your Majesty!” while her inner monologue says, “This time, I’ll make sure she’s ruined for good.”
When a modern-day social butterfly collides with an ancient palace intrigue, the imperial kitchen becomes a laboratory for horrendous cuisine, and durian, stinky tofu, and chili stew turn into weapons of mass destruction at court. The Cold Palace is transformed into a variety-show set, where suona music and square dancing turn the emperor’s favorite into a laughingstock across the internet. When veteran ministers slam the table and rage, “Women should not meddle in politics,” she whips out an abacus. “The Duke of Zhenguo’s family collected three hundred thousand taels in land rent last year. Why not donate it to the army?”
Even the emperor’s black cat becomes her “mouthpiece and strategist”! Moyu complains that “humans are so childish” while helping her catch cheaters, expose plots, and build her career. Watching the tyrant’s ears turn red as he stubbornly denies his feelings, Su Ruanruan arches an eyebrow and smiles. “Your Majesty, your inner thoughts are giving me a headache. Why not find another way to make me ‘ache’?”
Hilarious palace intrigue × sweet romance and mutual teasing. Watch a sociable empress use her modern imagination to master ancient political schemes and tame a cold-faced emperor into a devoted husband who says one thing but means another!
