The Villainous Consort Became the Harem's Darling After Everyone Heard Her Thoughts

[Transmigrate into a book + concubines with mind-reading powers + wacky palace intrigue + mysticism + sweet romance + devoted, exclusive couple] Xia Qingge has transmigrated into a book! She’s become the villainess in a romance novel about a lovesick heroine. From the start, she’s supposed to make the Virtuous Consort, whose father commands a powerful army, lose her baby! Good grief! The original heroine ends up killed by the Virtuous Consort’s father, so Xia Qingge quickly swaps the abortion medicine for something to protect the baby. As soon as she returns to the palace, the lovesick emperor tells her he’s been cheating on himself and the Virtuous Consort’s child isn’t his. Is that really something a concubine should hear? After sending the emperor away, she gets a visit from the Empress Dowager. The moment she enters, she sees the Empress Dowager fervently worshipping an evil god, with its sinister influence already inside her. It turns out the evil god was a gift from the powerful Imperial Preceptor! Xia Qingge’s hand trembles after she exorcises the Empress Dowager. Great, now she’s offended the Imperial Preceptor too! That night, just as she lies down, someone dresses up as a ghost to scare her. She looks at the smug Virtuous Consort in exasperation. Doesn’t she realize she’s summoned a real ghost? After exorcising the ghost for the Virtuous Consort, the next day she catches Consort Rong using witchcraft to curse her! Cursing the most powerful celestial master in the land? Xia Qingge casually sends the curse right back. Consort Rong rolls around in agony, then comes crawling to apologize, carrying a thorny branch as penance! On the third day, the harem is finally peaceful. Then, as if on cue, the concubines line up to have their fortunes told. One wants to know when she’ll get pregnant. Another asks when she’ll find the man of her dreams. Another wants to know how long she’ll live and whether she’ll enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. As the line grows, the lovesick emperor gets it into his head that the concubines are trying to steal Xia Qingge from him. With a wave of his hand, he orders the harem disbanded. The concubines burst into tears and cling to her, the Noble Consort, refusing to let go. Emperor: “The Noble Consort is mine! All of you, get lost!”
