The Whole Court Hears My Thoughts: I Roast My Way to Becoming Empress Dowager

Ye Zhaozhao transmigrated into a book and became the cannon-fodder “young stepmother” of Xiao Jue, the all-powerful Ninth Thousand-Year Lord.

The original character met a tragic end. All Ye Zhaozhao wanted was to keep her head down and stay alive in peace.

[Oh my, this stepson is so handsome! What a pity he’s a deranged villain who’ll eventually be torn apart by five horses. Tsk, tsk.]

Xiao Jue was reviewing memorials when his brush paused. He raised his gloomy phoenix eyes.

Before long, Ye Zhaozhao discovered that not only could her stepson hear her inner thoughts, but so could every chosen one of the Great Jing dynasty!

The loyal old chancellor: [Sigh, the old man really is a loyal subject. Too bad his whole family will soon be sentenced to death on trumped-up charges.]

The puppet young emperor: [Poor little thing. He still doesn’t know that the imperial uncle he respects most is going to usurp the throne, does he?]

The court officials: “!!!”

They believed her inner thoughts were divine revelations and treated Ye Zhaozhao like a goddess.

On the outside, Ye Zhaozhao panicked like crazy. Inside, she was as steady as a rock: [Keep acting, all of you! Let’s see how long you can keep it up with this director watching!]

From then on, the villains turned over a new leaf, the loyal officials escaped their fated deaths, and the Great Jing dynasty prospered.

Until one day, the all-powerful Ninth Thousand-Year Lord cornered her against a wall, his gaze dark and deep. “Mother?”

Ye Zhaozhao’s legs went weak. “S-Son…”

“Last night, your inner thoughts… said you wanted to have a child for me?”

Ye Zhaozhao: [!!! I meant I’d find you a wife to have a child with, you unfilial brat!]
