The Court Is Full of Traitors? The Mind-Reading Empress Goes on a Killing Spree

Overworked office drone Chu Minghuang drops dead after working overtime and wakes up as the identically named “centenarian empress” of the Great Yin Dynasty, a puppet ruler treated like a lucky mascot by the court full of scheming wolves!

From the start, fragments of her memories make her head burn. Treacherous ministers tell her to “know her place,” while a hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen threaten the northern border!

No problem. The “Keen Insight” System is already activated. Telling the loyal from the treacherous? Easy! Labels shine above the heads of every court official: rebel, fence-sitter, loyalist. It’s plain as day! Well, would you look at that, there’s only one loyalist: an old general?

A hellish start? Not a chance!

With the System at my side, the realm is mine!

The rebel chancellor wants to shift the blame? General, I’ve got your back!

Running low on grain and weapons? Watch me make compressed biscuits by hand and smelt steel with primitive methods! The treacherous ministers are planning an assassination?

I can read minds, too! You want me to know my place?

Fine! Once I’ve physically sent all you rebels to the afterlife, I’ll get right on that!
