The Entire Court Can Hear My Grumbling Thoughts

Synopsis:

[Everyone’s favorite + mind reading + laid-back heroine + gossip]

Overworked office drone Song Zhaoyi died from working overtime, then woke up as the biggest laughingstock in the capital: the useless eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Yu.

Her father is a grand tutor, her eldest brother is a top scholar, and her second brother is a general. Her whole family is full of overachievers, while she’s the only lazy one.

Song Zhaoyi takes it easy without a shred of guilt, dozing off in a corner during court every day.

Who could have guessed her inner thoughts would be broadcast live throughout the entire Golden Hall?

The emperor is fretting over a food shortage at the border when a voice from the corner says: [Why worry? In three days, the neighboring kingdom’s granary will catch fire and burn like crazy. My second brother just happens to be going there to pick up the scraps.]

The censor is impeaching the Minister of Revenue for embezzlement. Song Zhaoyi is half asleep: [Stop making a racket. His concubine has hidden the account books under the bed, along with his private stash. She’s going to run off with the money tonight.]

The Imperial Noble Consort is weeping, claiming she was framed. Song Zhaoyi yawns: [What an actress. You pushed her into the water yourself, then cried wolf. Even your cat saw it.]

At first, the court officials thought she was outrageous. Then they realized every word she said was true.

From then on, court became one big gossip session. The emperor and his ministers pretended to be serious as they strained to listen, terrified of missing the latest inside scoop.

Song Zhaoyi worries every day: Why have I been promoted again? I just want to be a loser who coasts through life and waits to die!
