Yun Zhuo transmigrates into another world.
The good news: She has become the Princess Consort of Prince Ding'an, a powerful ruler with command over a vast army and influence over the entire court.
The bad news: Her new husband, Xiao Yucang, is the “Guardian Deity of Great Qi,” a man who kills without blinking. She is a cannon-fodder pawn planted beside him by the villain, sent there to die.
Faced with this cold-faced imperial uncle, the seasoned corporate drone Yun Zhuo immediately succumbs to paranoid delusions, only to unexpectedly unlock the ability to read minds
Out loud, the prince gives her a cold glance. “Go to the back courtyard. Don’t come out unless you’re called.”
In his mind, however, a voice is wailing in complaint: [I’m done for. I walked too fast to look cool and pulled the arrow wound I got in the northern frontier. It hurts so much. Can someone come help me... Why isn’t she moving? Did I scare her into crying? Sob, I didn’t mean to!]
Yun Zhuo: “?”
Isn’t he supposed to be a cold, celibate killing machine? Isn’t there a little too much going on in his head?
From then on, Yun Zhuo lives the life of a princess consort who is “meek on the outside, but treats the client like royalty in her head.”
Until one day, her golden finger runs out, and she can no longer hear the prince’s “true thoughts.”
The man corners her against the wall. His face is still as icy as ever, but the tips of his ears are bright red as he asks in a hoarse voice, “That chicken in the kitchen was walking around like it owned the place... didn’t you want to laugh?”
Yun Zhuo: “...”
Help! This brooding imperial uncle can read minds, and now he’s using tricks to win me over!
