The Legitimate Daughter Can Read Minds: My Empire Is Yours to Rule!

After transmigrating into Shen Qingci, the cannon-fodder legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, she unexpectedly awakens the ability to read minds. From then on, no villain’s scheme can escape her ears. The new emperor, Zhao Jin, ascends the throne with Xiao Ce’s help, but fears her military command and the Su family’s wealth, so he repeatedly lays deadly traps: fake offerings at the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony, the Lantern Festival fire case, and mooncakes mixed with sand at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each time, he tries to kill her. Using her mind-reading ability to prepare in advance, Shen Qingci seizes confessions and turns witnesses to her side. She also brings pressure to bear through the soldiers of the three battalions and forces along the border, foiling the new emperor’s plots time and again. From exposing the imperial clan’s bribery during a confrontation at court to forcing the emperor to bow his head before the palace gates, she carefully consolidates her control over the capital’s power in the name of “the Duke of Zhenguo’s legitimate daughter.” While everyone calls her “the biggest villain, all smiles and hidden knives,” she looks after her young brother and waits for the one who has gone back to Jiangnan. Amid the court’s treacherous currents, she keeps her corner of the world safe. At last, the winds in the capital change direction, and all that can be heard is people following Miss Shen’s orders.
