Does the Top Scholar Turn the Court Upside Down with His Inner Thoughts Today, Too?

Shen Qingyan transmigrates into the body of a condemned minister's son, awaiting execution, and gets bound to a downright troublesome Gossip System!

Its rewards can be exchanged for life-saving skills and glimpses of the future, but the price is that his wild complaints and inner monologue are broadcast uncontrollably!

At court, the newly crowned top scholar Shen Qingyan says respectfully, “Your Majesty is wise, and Your Highness is mighty.”

But inside, he’s losing it: The young emperor is so adorable, I want to pinch his cheeks! Xiao Jue has the face of a grim reaper. He looks so sour, he must’ve slept terribly last night! Huh? Why is the Minister of Revenue’s head so shiny? System, check if he embezzled the disaster relief funds! I need all the gossip points I can get!

The court officials are baffled: Who’s talking? Th-That’s treasonous!

What he doesn’t know is that the iron-blooded regent beside the throne, Xiao Jue, who has returned reborn and holds power over the entire court, can hear every word of his inner thoughts loud and clear!

Poisoned to death by his best friend in his previous life, Xiao Jue returned for revenge. But he unexpectedly became connected to an “exclusive channel”: the inner thoughts of Shen Qingyan, the condemned minister’s son, might be the key to turning around a hopeless situation!

Shen Qingyan tries desperately to keep his secret identity under wraps, doing his best to play the part of a docile little lamb, but he always slips up whenever he gets a juicy scoop.

As Xiao Jue governs the realm while listening to the nonstop “live broadcast” of Shen Qingyan’s thoughts, he secretly keeps a little notebook of his “beloved subject” complaining that he’s “cold as ice” and “deserves to be single.”

The more he listens, the more he finds himself falling for the top scholar who never says what he means, moving from wariness and exploitation to genuine affection.

When the mastermind resurfaces and a vast conspiracy closes in, Shen Qingyan burns through his System rewards to obtain a life-saving antidote, his thoughts roaring: Xiao Jue! Don’t die! I haven’t finished cursing you out!

Xiao Jue fights back through a sea of blood and pins him tightly in his arms, his voice hoarse. “Your inner thoughts have kept this prince company for a whole lifetime. I’ll spend the rest of mine making it up to you.”
