Shocking! I Can Hear the Cold, Domineering CEO's Inner Monologue

He seems like a cold, domineering CEO, but he's actually a lovestruck romantic. She uses mind reading to keep him completely wrapped around her finger.

Lin Zhiyi is the CEO's secretary at Chenxing Technologies, single since birth and a master of romance in theory. One rainy night, she is struck by lightning, and from then on she can hear one person's thoughts, but only when her icy boss says, "I love you."

Shen Yanting, CFO of the Shen Group, is known in financial circles as "King Yama Shen." He's cold-blooded and ruthless, a killer who leaves no trace.

At least, that's what Lin Zhiyi has always believed.

Until the annual gala, when he gets drunk, pins her against a wall, and says without a trace of expression, "I love you."

The next second, she hears his thoughts: "That came out too fast. It wasn't like the version I rehearsed fifty times... I still haven't taken out the ring. Damn it."

Lin Zhiyi: ???

Only later does she learn that this seemingly cold CEO has been secretly in love with her for five whole years. He practices every confession in front of the mirror dozens of times, and gets so nervous before giving her a gift that his palms sweat. His inner monologue is more entertaining than any romance novel, and she's the only person in the universe who can hear it.

He can fool the whole world, but he can't fool her.

As elite family feuds and clan conspiracies come one after another, Lin Zhiyi realizes that this man is far more vulnerable than he lets on. Now she must decide: keep being the independent queen who "doesn't need anyone," or become the first person to enter his heart.
