After My Inner Thoughts Were Overheard, All the Male Leads Turned Into Jealous Rivals

After staying up all night, Lin Wanwan dies suddenly and wakes up as a sickly concubine-born daughter of the Marquis of Jingguo, one who won’t survive past chapter three.

She’s bound to a uniquely eccentric empress-raising System, which gives her a “livestream your inner thoughts to the whole internet” trial card from the start. Every day, her wild internal rants are heard in real time by the most powerful men around her.

She thinks she’s carefully trying to stay alive:

In front of the cold-faced general, she is respectful on the outside: “Your Excellency’s imposing presence inspires awe.”

Her inner monologue: [Ice face! Would it kill you to say two more words?]

The teacup in the general’s hand cracks.

To the sickly Crown Prince, she says gently, “Your Highness, please take care of your health.”

Her inner monologue: [He’s so beautiful when he coughs, it breaks my heart... Too bad he’s doomed to die young.]

The medicine bowl in the Crown Prince’s hand wobbles slightly.

Later

The general razes a bandit stronghold overnight for her: “Whoever makes her frown will disappear.”

The Crown Prince purges the entire court for her: “If Wanwan likes it, why not offer her the empire as a betrothal gift?”

Even the rakish scholar who is always teasing her drops his disguise and bares his fangs: “My dark web stretches across the world, all to keep you safe.”

Lin Wanwan finally realizes something is wrong. “How do you all know what I’m thinking?!”

The male leads corner her against the wall and answer in unison: “Wanwan, you tell us.”

The System pops up with the ultimate task at just the right moment: [Host, please choose one of the following imperial titles: Empress, Empress Consort, Empress Behind the Scenes, Uncrowned Empress...]

Lin Wanwan looks at the group of men on the verge of fighting and rubs her forehead with a sigh. “Um... can I choose a fifth option: ‘Make them all my subordinates’?”
