The Emperor Hears Every Thought, and Can't Get Enough

[Dual Male Leads + Mind Reading + Political Schemes] A seemingly meek, overworked court censor × a scheming puppet emperor.

Cen Yan is the most forgettable seventh-rank censor in the Great Ning court. Outwardly, he's meek and deferential. In his heart, he curses out every official at court, including the tyrant on the Dragon Throne whom everyone fears.

Then one day, the puppet emperor Yan Changyuan discovers that he can hear Cen Yan's thoughts.

Every scheme hatched by the treacherous officials is deduced in the mind of this low-ranking censor. How much the empress's uncle has stolen, where the account books are hidden, who's pretending to be useless at court: Yan Changyuan used to endure it all, but now he can listen.

He can't do without this man anymore.

What he doesn't know is that every time he listens, his life grows shorter by a day. And when Cen Yan finds out, he starts desperately trying to learn how to keep quiet.

Mind reading is how their fated connection begins, but it isn't the foundation of their love. When their golden finger is taken away, they both realize that their trust and understanding have long needed no supernatural power to sustain them.
