With the Tyrant's Mind-Reading Ability, I Went Crazy in the Palace

While others were afraid of him, I heard the wounds in his heart. Shen Shujing, the little maid in the imperial kitchen, suddenly became able to hear people's hearts on the day she almost became a tyrant and tried to poison the souls of the dead. And her first audience was none other than Xiao Lin, the young emperor known for his violence and killing at will. She heard his cold murderous intention when facing the poisonous soup, and also heard his unknown murmur of pain when he had a headache late at night; she knocked over the poisonous cup out of fear, and she reached out to relieve his old illness because of a single thought. In this dangerous palace, mind reading is her only shield, allowing her to go from passive survival to active participation. When everyone regarded Xiao Lin as an untouchable tyrant, only Shen Shujing knew that beneath his uncertain appearance was the pain of being betrayed by his loved ones and a lonely siege. And he gradually discovered that in the eyes of this seemingly timid little palace lady, there was a transparency that could see through everything and a bravery that he had never seen before. "Stay with me." He handed her the bloody sword, his voice hoarse, "Or leave with freedom." She threw away the sword and held his cold hand: "I choose the third way - to enter your kingdom."
