I’m a Fake Eunuch, and the Mad Emperor Can Hear My Thoughts

The rating just came out. It'll go up.

[Transmigrate into a book + mind-reading + cross-dressing + yandere, unhinged tyrant + satisfying palace intrigue]

Su Yu transmigrates into a book and becomes a fake eunuch, a cannon-fodder character who won't survive three episodes. Not only does she have to stay alive, she has to keep her female identity a closely guarded secret.

To make it to the ending, she turns herself into the most inconspicuous face in the palace, working diligently every day and quietly enjoying the gossip.

But who could have guessed that the volatile, bloodthirsty, unhinged tyrant can hear her thoughts!

To his face, she begs for mercy. “Please calm down, Your Majesty. This servant deserves a thousand deaths!”

In her head, she lets loose: [You dog of an emperor! Workaholic! Overtime addict! All you do is exploit me! You'll be impotent before long!]

The tyrant hears the only “internet mouthpiece” in his life and not only isn't angry, he finds her endlessly amusing. Every day, he has her brought to his side so he can enjoy her wonderfully insincere acting.

A treacherous consort plotting against her? The Empress Dowager trying to seize power?

She excitedly analyzes the plot in her head while he listens from the court and takes down the villains from afar.

The whole court thinks His Majesty favors a useless little eunuch. Only he knows that this little thing who complains about him in her head every day is his one and only cure, and his sole source of amusement.

Until, step by step, he corners her and lifts her from the dirt to the clouds. With red-rimmed eyes, he holds her in his arms, his voice hoarse.

“Little Fish, stop pretending. I knew you were a woman all along.”
