On the third day of celebrating his cousin's birthday, "Sick Yangzi" King Duan died suddenly. Before Shen Qingci could take off his hijab, he was falsely accused of murder and thrown into death row.
In a desperate situation, she awakens to two things: a mind-reading ability that can hear all voices, and a cold-blooded system that calls itself "Apocalypse".
But she soon discovered that golden fingers are never free - every time she eavesdrops on her heart, she loses a memory; every time she deduces a chess game, she loses a year of her life.
From death row prisoner to regent, from regent to empress. She uses her mind-reading skills to overturn powerful ministers, depose princes, and pacify vassal kings. But when she sat on the throne, she could no longer remember her mother's face, her father's last words, and she couldn't even tell whether what was surging in her mind was the enemy's conspiracy or her own desire.
After seven years of strategizing, she won the world, but almost lost herself.
Until one day, the system told her: All the memories you lost were the price of sealing them with your own hands in your previous life.
And she must make a choice - continue to be a loner who knows everything, or give up her mind-reading skills and learn how to be a "human" again.
When everyone in the court was waiting to see her joke, she used the stupidest way to win back the world.
Because she finally understood: being able to see through people's hearts is not a skill. Make people willing to tell you the truth.
