The General's Darling Is Sweet and Sassy

On the very first day Xing Xiaoxiao transmigrates into the body of a marquis’s illegitimate daughter, she suffers the most mortifying moment of her life: her whole family can hear her inner thoughts!

When she opens her eyes, she sees the ornate beams and antique furnishings around her and silently goes off: [This bed looks like it’ll wreck my back. Is the marquis’s household broke or something? The illegitimate daughter gets worse treatment than I did in my rental!]

The next second, the marquis at the head of the room slams the table, his face dark as a pot. “Ungrateful girl! When has this household ever mistreated you?”

She glances at her pretentious legitimate older sister and thinks, [What a masterclass in fake sweetness. You’re acting so well, you deserve an Oscar! I won’t watch if you’re not in it!]

Her sister’s eyes immediately redden. She tugs at the marquis’s sleeve and cries, “Father, why would my younger sister say such things about me…”

Xing Xiaoxiao panics. Her whole family, young and old, is staring at her with expressions that say, “We heard what you were thinking.” She wails inwardly, [Help! Can someone tell me how to turn off this blasted mind-reading ability?]

What’s worse, the cold-faced general Gong Heng, who is rumored to have killed countless people, has appeared at the doorway without her noticing. He watches her with an amused smile as she keeps thinking, [Holy crap! This man is ridiculously handsome! Too bad he’s an ice block. No way he’s any good!]

Oh no! How has her transmigration-and-gossip adventure hit a land mine from the start?
