After I Transmigrate, the Stoic Marquis’s Inner Thoughts Can’t Stay Hidden

Transmigration + substitute marriage + mind-reading + household and palace intrigue + battlefield scheming + a cold-faced Marquis × a clever HR director + inner thoughts exposed, sweet romance and secret pining

She transmigrates into the body of a bride forced into a substitute marriage, only to be sentenced to death from the start by the “Living Yama” Marquis?

Shen Zhiwei transmigrates into the past and becomes the second wife of a Marquis, forced to take another woman's place in an arranged marriage. Her husband, Xiao Zhi, is a cold, ruthless Marquis who has already driven two wives to their deaths. On their wedding night, he orders her to kneel and accept punishment.

But Shen Zhiwei discovers that she can hear Xiao Zhi's thoughts!

The outwardly icy Marquis is privately ranting away:

[Why isn't this woman afraid of me?]

[How dare she talk back?]

[...Interesting.]

With the household rife with intrigue and assassinations around every corner, Shen Zhiwei takes on scheming women with one hand and princes with the other, all while dealing with a Marquis who never says what he means.

Until one day, she hears Xiao Zhi's flustered thoughts:

[If she finds out I love her... will she run away?]

Shen Zhiwei raises an eyebrow and smiles. “My lord, I've known your thoughts all along!”
