After Yin Zhen Hears Her Thoughts, the Sickly Beauty Just Wants to Survive

One second, Wen Shu was at home watching Empresses in the Palace. The next, she had become one of Yinzhen’s concubines.

Her golden finger, an essential perk for someone who transmigrates, was mistakenly assigned by the System, so she decides to rely on her sickly beauty persona to survive quietly in the palace.

But the System had assigned her golden finger to Yinzhen instead.

From then on, she privately grumbles to herself without restraint, and Yinzhen can hear her even when he’s a hundred thousand miles away.

She wants nothing but to avoid trouble and live quietly as an invisible presence in the palace, but Yinzhen won’t give her the chance. He grows more and more curious about her.

Consort Xi’s plots and schemes to frame others, and Hongli’s secret plans to claim the throne, are all exposed by Wen Shu’s inner voice. Yinzhen’s gaze grows increasingly hostile whenever he looks at the mother and son.

[Consort Xi was a ruthless woman in history, but it seems like they’ve changed things here. I’ve been keeping such a low profile. Surely she won’t target me, right?]

[If the mind-reading ability hadn’t been assigned incorrectly, I could at least use it to find out whether Consort Xi wants to hurt me.]

Yinzhen: So there really is a golden finger, and he got it. Does that mean he can hear her thoughts?

Since Heaven gave him this golden finger, wouldn’t it be a waste not to do something with it?

So Wen Shu discovers that, though she only wanted to lie flat and survive quietly, she has become one of Yinzhen’s main concerns. And, as a result, the palace is full of even more schemes and intrigues.

All she wants to say is: she’s a sickly beauty. Shouldn’t sickly beauties get special treatment? Have they got the wrong person if they’re looking for someone to scheme against?

If she weren’t a hardcore fan of Empresses in the Palace who knew all the palace-intrigue plotlines, she’d have been dead long ago.

I want to file a complaint. I absolutely have to report that lousy System. It gave me no golden finger and got me exposed. Why keep it around unless I’m saving it for the New Year?
