The Entire Court Is Full of Drama Queens, and Only She Is the Cure

The heroine is the sweet, naive type.

Emperor Xiao Ce of the Great Zhou awakens to the ability to read minds, but nearly goes mad because of it.

He hears the ministers call him “Your Majesty” to his face while cursing him in their hearts as “Zhou the Skinflint” and “workaholic.” Believing the entire imperial palace is full of lies and schemes, he walks around with a furrowed brow all day and becomes the “tyrant” everyone fears.

Then he meets Lin Aman, a burned-out office worker who has just transmigrated here.

In this palace where everyone lives in fear, Lin Aman’s inner world is a raging mudslide. While everyone else sees the emperor as the King of Hell, she complains to herself, “He’s always frowning. Could menopause have come early?” and “That dragon robe can’t be comfortable after wearing it all day, right?”

Her mind is full of slacking off, KPIs, and braised pork. She says whatever she thinks, genuine as an oddity.

For Xiao Ce, who’s used to hearing nothing but fake flattery, Lin Aman’s “disrespectful” grumbling becomes the only bright spot in his dark world.
