You Wanted a Puppet, Not Someone Pulling the Strings Behind the Throne

I, Xiao Jingyan, transmigrated into the body of a mute emperor who could do nothing but smile foolishly. At my enthronement ceremony, I drooled and played with a rattle drum, becoming the laughingstock of the realm.

But they didn't know that although I couldn't speak, I could simulate the whole world in my mind! A single glance from me was enough for my trusted general to read the battlefield and rout the enemy!

When my powerful uncle launched a palace coup, convinced victory was his, I was forced to utter my first words: “I wish... my uncle and his whole family wealth and prosperity.”

Boom! A thunderbolt split the sky, and the entire family was blasted straight to heaven!

[Uncle (his soul scattered in terror):]“No! You're not a fool! You're a demon!”

[Loyal General (in fervent awe):]“His Majesty hears thunder in the silence. Truly, he is a divine being!”

Just as the whole realm trembled at my divine power of punishment, Chu Ningshuang, the only confidante who understood my loneliness, was suddenly kidnapped! A letter from the mastermind was placed before me: “Mute Emperor, if you want her to live, say this to yourself: ‘May you live to be a hundred!’”
