(Modern woman transmigrates to ancient times! Anti-Mary Sue! No female rivalry! The male leads’ inner monologues are more exciting than palace intrigue, and the heroine stays sharp and gives as good as she gets. You won’t regret getting invested!) Su Ci opens her eyes and hears everyone’s inner thoughts.
Her cheap fiancé acts devoted on the surface: “Don’t be scared, Xiao Nuan.” His inner monologue: “Why hasn’t that shrew Su Ci left yet?”
Her green-tea half-sister sobs: “It’s all my fault.” Inside, she’s complaining like mad: “This pool water is so gross. I’ll have to get Brother Mingxuan to buy me a new dress.”
Even the aloof CEO passing by keeps his eyes straight ahead, while his thoughts are screaming: “That waist… damn, I want to commit a crime!”
After awakening her mind-reading ability, Su Ci discovers that the whole world has been putting on an act for her.
Fine, then. Let’s play.
She listens with a smile to everyone’s layers upon layers of scheming, while quietly setting traps of her own:
“Your sister’s drowning? Don’t panic. Let’s first take a video with the beauty filter on as evidence~”
“The CEO gave me a handbag? Thanks, it’s perfect for carrying documents~”
“A top-tier star is flirting with me? Sure, but pay the publicity fee for the dating rumors first~”
From then on, she juggles five men with ease: the CEO, the top-tier star, a doctor, a hacker, and a sweet younger guy. She watches them maintain their polished manners in public while privately getting jealous over her until they’re ready to explode, with a spectacular “I never knew I could love this” scene playing out every day.
Self-serving? Scheming?
Hah. In front of a woman who can hear the truth, all your phony act is nothing but a joke for me to enjoy over tea.
