Your Majesty, I Must Report You for Saying One Thing and Doing Another

[Microexpressions + satisfying revenge + two formidable leads + ensemble cast + plot twists]

The moment top microexpression expert Wen Zhiyi opens her eyes, she finds herself the jilted daughter of a marquis's household, newly dumped by her fiancé.

Her scumbag fiancé clutches his heart and begs forgiveness? She glances at the corner of his mouth, where a sneer slips through: contempt.

Her scheming younger sister puts on a tearful show of hurt? Wen catches her pupils suddenly widening: guilt.

Wen Zhiyi curls her lips. “Go on, keep acting.”

At a banquet where she is supposed to defend herself, she exposes every false face in public.

With just a few words, her scumbag fiancé is ruined, her scheming sister is revealed for who she is, and even the dowry they swallowed has to be returned with interest.

From then on, the capital is abuzz:

Nobles want to know whether their concubines are faithful? The price starts at a thousand gold!

Wealthy merchant families need help bargaining? Bring rare treasures to trade!

With eyes that see through people, Wen Zhiyi lives more freely than anyone, until she is sent to bring good fortune through marriage to a prince rumored to be at death's door.

On their wedding night, the “dying” man on the bed breathes steadily, and his fingertips hold a trace of strength.

Wen Zhiyi raises an eyebrow. “Keep pretending. Your acting isn't worth a copper coin.”

To protect herself, she lays her cards on the table. “Your Highness, shall we work together? I'll expose the loyal and treacherous at court, and you guarantee my safety.”

From then on, the imperial court becomes her stage for calling out lies:

A treacherous minister weeps as he proclaims his loyalty? She coolly says, “He just called you a fool in his thoughts.”

An enemy envoy smiles as he discusses peace? She adds, “He has the greed of a man coveting three cities in his eyes.”

Even the prince, who is always wearing a gentle, polished mask, is often seen through by her:

“Your Highness, your killing intent just slipped out. Your left eye twitched for 0.3 seconds!”
