Shen Qingci, a modern social beast, died suddenly after staying up late to read a novel about palace fighting. He transformed into a cannon-fodder showgirl with the same name in the book. As soon as he entered the palace, he was ordered to be executed for bumping into the tyrant Chu Yin. At the critical moment, she awakened her mind-reading skills and heard Chu Yin's inner drama: [It's over, it's over, I've gone too far in pretending to be aloof...] Only then did she realize that this tyrant who appeared to be decisive and murderous was actually a social-phobic and innocent drama queen. With her mind-reading skills, Shen Qingci skillfully navigated the crisis-ridden harem: when Concubine Xiao planned a frame-up, she knew in advance the plot to rebel against the general; when a powerful minister secretly conspired to rebel, she gave a timely warning to help Chu Yin resolve the crisis. Chu Yin relied more and more on this woman who could 'read' his mind. He found excuses to run to her palace every day. On the surface, he maintained his tyrant persona, but on the inside, he was performing a crazy love drama. Shen Qingci initially only wanted to protect himself, but was gradually moved by Chu Yin's sincerity, and their relationship heated up while testing each other. However, Concubine Xiao's jealousy, the conspiracy of the former dynasty's forces, and the truth behind Chu Yin's tyrant character emerged one after another. Shen Qingci must use wisdom and mind-reading skills to protect the people he loves in the whirlpool of palace battles. Finally, he uncovers layers of fog, faces the undercurrent behind the imperial power with Chu Yin, and finds their own way to survive.
