Lin Wan, a 28-year-old information organizer, dies from overwork and opens her eyes to find herself the newborn youngest daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the Great Yong Dynasty.
She thought she could lie flat and live the pampered life of a well-fed layabout, but then she discovers she has a special ability: mind reading.
Forced to return to her old line of work, she quietly sorts through intelligence in an infant’s body, pretending to be an ordinary child.
An amusing incident at her first-birthday banquet reaches the inner palace and catches the emperor’s attention.
An imperial decree summons her to the palace every month. Is it a “reward” or “surveillance”?
When her “childish remarks” repeatedly expose hidden truths by accident, and fragmented thoughts piece together a corruption scandal that threatens the foundations of the nation, Lin Wanyi can no longer stand aside.
A shocking conspiracy that spans both the imperial court and the inner palace slowly comes to light. Though she was meant to be a pawn, she is forced to enter the game and make her own moves.
What will she ultimately hear: the overture to the empire’s collapse, or the gentle breeze heralding a golden age?
