Jiang Yuexi dies after staying up all night reading and unexpectedly transmigrates into an ancient-era pampered-daughter novel. She becomes a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter who doesn’t survive three chapters.
She’s in Prince Jing’s household, surrounded by a biased father, a cruel legal mother, and a hypocritical white-lotus stepsister, Jiang Yueyao. They’re all hidden antagonists who target and torment her at every turn. Only her maid, Qingdai, remains faithfully by her side. When she arrives, the original owner has just been ordered to kneel in the ancestral hall, and the deadly plot is about to begin.
But she accidentally unlocks an overpowered bug: every antagonist in the family can hear her thoughts!
She spends her days roasting everyone in her head and predicting their fates: detailing how her scumbag father’s favoritism will land him in prison, exposing the miserable end awaiting her legal mother for her vicious schemes, and puncturing her stepsister’s fake show of weakness.
Her running inner monologue alone leaves every antagonist in Prince Jing’s household rattled, fretting and doubting themselves day after day.
Even more absurdly, Xiao Jingheng, the cold, desireless regent feared by every official, can hear her thoughts too. This aloof, taciturn big shot is thrown into complete disarray by the nonstop praise of his looks, her schemes to cling to him, and her mockery of his poker face. He breaks down every day and can’t help falling for her.
From then on, Jiang Yuexi leads a double life: outwardly docile and composed, smoothly handling everyone around her; inwardly, she roasts them nonstop and shamelessly slacks off.
The antagonists in the prince’s household all shed their villainous personas and repeatedly give in, while the icy regent falls for her step by step and dotes on her beyond measure.
Until one day, Xiao Jingheng corners her against a wall and says in a husky voice, "You praise my looks in your head every day. Why won’t you say it to my face?"
Jiang Yuexi freezes. "??? You can hear me?!"
Mischievous, sharp-witted, scheming heroine x cold, desireless big shot who can’t resist her. One-on-one romance, mutual firsts, lighthearted and funny from beginning to end, packed with thrilling, sweet moments. No angst, no heartbreak!
