She Hears People's Thoughts: The Fake Virtuous Empress Drives the Tyrant Mad

Shen Mingjiao had a dream. In it, her emperor husband found the first love he had lost among the common folk. To make room for her, he not only poisoned Shen Mingjiao, but also had her entire family executed.

When she jolted awake, Shen Mingjiao looked at the handsome emperor sleeping beside her. She smiled shyly on the outside, while inwardly sneering: You bastard. One day, I’ll turn your skull into a wine cup!

From that day on, Shen Mingjiao became the “perfect virtuous empress.” The emperor’s first love entered the palace?

She personally granted her a lavish palace to live in (actually, a neglected side palace in disrepair).

The emperor was attacked?

She fearlessly threw herself in front of him to take the blade (wearing a hidden chainmail vest in advance, and taking the opportunity to score a reward to save up her escape fund).

Shen Mingjiao only had to wait for the bastard emperor to die, then she could take her gold and treasures and live it up.

Yan Ci had been emperor for three years. He was cold and brutal, but had a little genuine affection for the empress, whose eyes were always full of him.

Until one day, he suddenly heard her thoughts.

He rewarded his first love, and the empress smiled gently. “Your Majesty is a man of deep feeling. It is a blessing for all under Heaven.”

But inside, she was shouting: “Keep handing out rewards! Once your treasury is empty, I’ll take the money and marry the regent of a neighboring kingdom!”

He fell ill and coughed up blood. The empress’s eyes brimmed with tears. “I would gladly suffer in Your Majesty’s place.”

But inside, she was tapping her wooden fish: “Hurry up and die! I’ve already secretly taken the measurements for the Empress Dowager’s phoenix robe!”

Yan Ci: “…”

To keep himself from dying of rage and protect both his throne and his wife, the tyrant forced himself to become the very model of a virtuous husband.
