I Stay Alive by Ranting, and the Chief Justice Turns Out to Be from My Hometown

I, Shen Jiahe, have two identities.

In public, I'm the most beautiful woman in the capital, gentle and demure, delicate as a willow.

In private, my inner monologue could earn a like from the King of Hell himself.

I thought it was my secret, until my whole family started acting strangely.

In public, my scumbag ex breaks off our engagement, leaving me heartbroken.

In my head: [Break it off! Hurry up! I'll set off firecrackers to celebrate!]

So my father smashes the jade pendant and beats him to the punch by divorcing him, looking as if to say, “My daughter doesn't need you.”

In public, I'm summoned by the imperial consort and tremble with fear.

In my head: [This is a trap! That imperial physician is going to poison me!]

So my brother spreads royal gossip all night, sending both the consort and the imperial physician straight to the cold palace.

In public, I meet the cold, aloof heartthrob Jiang Yubai and blush so much I can't raise my head.

In my head: [Handsome, your face is red! Are you getting carried away listening to me complain? Fellow countryman, drop the act!]

So the most aloof official in the capital, Lord Jiang, loses his composure in public for the first time, and I spit tea all over his face.

Reborn villain: ??? Why is the Shen family always one step ahead?

Jiang Yubai (rubbing his forehead, answering helplessly in his mind): Because my wife has already spoiled all your dirty little secrets for me.

Me: ??!! You can all hear me?!

My whole family + Jiang Yubai: What do you think? (smiling)
