After Shen Zhiwei was reborn, he gained the ability to read minds. She heard the gentle cousin of the crown prince thinking about how to use her in exchange for a future, and she also heard Xie Jue, the elder brother of Flower of the High Mountain, rehearsing the paranoid plot of imprisoning her in the golden house over and over in his mind in front of her portrait every night.
She decided to choose the lesser of two evils and hugged Xie Jue's thigh. At least he was good-looking.
She accompanied him through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and grew up from a cowardly concubine to an unparalleled counselor by his side. Until he put on a yellow robe, locked her into the palace, and begged her in a mute voice to be his queen.
Shen Zhi gently stroked his slightly bulging belly and heard the deepest fear and love in his heart. Finally, I heard the truth concealed by the heavy heartbeat——
The memory of his past life that she thought was the only chance he had to "come back" in exchange for half his life from ghosts and gods.
