Xie Yaozhi, a modern-day star secretary, wakes up in an imaginary dynasty as a crown princess despised by the crown prince. She expects to be trapped in a miserable palace-intrigue game, but unexpectedly awakens the ability to read minds at a palace banquet.
Listening to the thoughts of the emperor and his sons, whose polite words conceal their schemes, she hears the crown prince’s inner roar beneath his icy exterior: “Whoever dares steal her from me, I’ll chop them to pieces!” Xie Yaozhi smiles.

Until the crown prince, all talk and no act, presents her with a divorce agreement and his heart at the same time…
