On the eve of her wedding, Shen Wangshu died horribly with poisoned wine down her throat. Reborn in a new life, she unexpectedly gained the ability to hear the thoughts of everyone around her.
The emperor hid his misgivings, the empress dowager wielded her schemes, and her half-sister concealed malicious intent. Everyone in the palace said one thing and meant another, each harboring their own calculations.
In her previous life, she had been gentle and virtuous, only to become a sacrifice in the court’s power struggles and suffer the destruction of her family.
Now she had the secret art of mind-reading. She could see through people’s deceit and uncover one conspiracy after another.
She exposed the traitors around her, foiled a deadly plot hidden in her wedding dress, and made loyal allies. Then she stirred up a storm in the imperial court.
She uncovered the truth behind the late emperor’s death, revealed shocking secrets of the royal family, quelled the turmoil on the border, and cleared her family’s name.
With every move planned, she broke the deadly trap of the inner palace. With her strategy, she took command of the hearts of all beneath heaven.
Once a weak legitimate daughter anyone could manipulate, she had transformed into a master of the court’s game whom no one dared to bully!
