After My Thoughts Were Read, I Was Forced to Attend Court Every Day

[Everyone can hear her thoughts + Gossip System + Silly, hilarious comedy]

The new book just came out, so the rating may go up. Please be gentle.

- Mo Jinyu: The legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official. She’s straightforward and loves to complain, and is perfectly content with her family’s “minor official” status. Her greatest wish is to marry a carefree young man from a prominent family. She has no idea that her thoughts are being broadcast aloud. After an unexpected incident, Feng Linyuan summons her to court, where her thoughts run wild every day (“This court robe is so tight I can barely breathe” and “His Majesty looks as serious as my father when he’s checking the accounts”). She assumes everyone is just being polite out of respect for her father.

- Feng Linyuan: A young emperor with a stern exterior, eager to enact new reforms but constrained by the old aristocracy. When he discovers he can hear Mo Jinyu’s thoughts, he realizes her complaints contain “plainspoken insights” into government affairs. For example, her grumbling that a certain project was “built with substandard materials” points directly to deep-rooted corruption in the Ministry of Works. He forcibly keeps her at court, looking for a way to break the deadlock by “eavesdropping on her thoughts,” and gradually finds himself moved by her sincerity and purity. A modern office worker transmigrates into the body of an ancient noblewoman who just wants to lie flat and slack off, but the emperor unexpectedly awakens the ability to read minds, exposing her thoughts!

Before the emperor can read her mind: “Whose daughter is this? How improper. She needs to be disciplined.”

After he can read her mind: “She’s full of brilliant ideas for governing the country and clever business schemes. Bring her to court! She has to come to court!”
