Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts: The Idle Consort Hopes for His Favor Every Day

Zhen Duoyu, an HR director who died from overwork in her previous life, transmigrates into the Great Zhou imperial harem as a low-ranking consort.

In this life, she is determined to be an unbothered salted fish who never dries out: no competing for favor, no harem scheming. She just wants to keep her head down until the finale and collect her retirement pension!

But the tyrant Zhou Jingcheng suddenly gains the ability to read minds, and hers is the only voice he can hear.

[On the Surface]

Zhen Duoyu gazes at him with tearful eyes and says tenderly, "Your Majesty is as magnificent as a dragon. A single day apart from you feels like three years."

[In Her Mind]

Zhen Duoyu rants furiously: "Why won't this dog emperor leave already? My hot pot is going to overcook! If he doesn't go soon, I'll have to recite the Great Compassion Mantra in my head to send him on his way!"

Zhou Jingcheng: "???"

And so, the harem takes a sudden turn...

While the other consorts compete to outshine one another, Zhen Duoyu is growing scallions.

While the other consorts plot and poison, Zhen Duoyu watches the drama and snacks on melon seeds.

Just when Zhen Duoyu thinks she can keep her head down forever, she discovers that her belly is growing, her rank is rising, and the tyrant is looking at her in an increasingly unsettling way!

Zhen Duoyu slings a bundle over her shoulder and tries to run: "This isn't the script I wanted! Weren't you supposed to send me to the Cold Palace?"

Zhou Jingcheng pins her in a corner and grits his teeth. "My beloved consort, keep the cursing in your head down. You're disturbing my imperial heir!"
