After staying up all night to finish a palace-intrigue novel, The Great Liang Empire, modern screenwriter Meng Wantang died suddenly. When she woke, she had transmigrated into the book as the cannon-fodder fiancée of its villain, the violent Prince Pei Heng. The original character was executed in the third chapter. In despair, she discovered that she could hear Pei Heng’s thoughts. The young prince looked sinister and ruthless on the outside, but inside he was a bashful, awkward tsundere. With her mind-reading ability, Meng Wantang thrived in the prince’s residence, escaping one deadly plot after another. She also unexpectedly discovered that Pei Heng’s “violent” persona was a carefully laid trap, and that the reason she had transmigrated into the book was about far more than simply staying alive.
