The day I was sent off to marry for an alliance, I awakened the ability to read minds.
[One heroine, three love interests + lighthearted fun + mind-reading love triangle + everyone falls for her on their own + all characters are virgins]
Regent Yan Ci publicly accuses me of being “flirtatious and unfit to marry off,” while inwardly screaming:
“She smiled at that guard again today! Kill them all, every last one!”
Sickly hostage Xie Huai coughs up blood as he hands me a brazier, saying, “Princess, you’ve caught a chill,” while thinking:
“Her hands are so cold. I want to hold them. Kiss her. Hide her away so I’m the only one who can keep her warm.”
The brocade-clad guard Lu Yanzhi takes an arrow for me and says expressionlessly, “It’s my duty,” while going mad inside:
“Who hurt you? I’ll wipe out his whole family.”
Me: ...Are all men in ancient times this two-faced?
Later, all three come to propose marriage on the same day, and the court erupts.
I push the marriage contracts aside. “I don’t want to get married. I just want to focus on my career.”
All three answer in unison: “We’ll go with you.”
Only I know what they left unsaid:
“I’d give you my life. Is that enough?”
