Reborn as Lady Wu, I Slay My Way Through by Hearing Everyone’s Thoughts

She could hear everyone’s thoughts, but his were the one thing she could never hear.

The stewardess wanted to harm her. She heard the plan, and three days later the woman was beaten to death.

Lady Xu set a trap for her. She heard about it, and in the end made her copy the Rules for Women a hundred times, leaving her in tears.

Empress Wang sent assassins to silence her. She heard their thoughts and fought back against all odds, leaving none alive.

But whenever Li Zhi appeared, all she heard was silence.

He smiled and helped her out of trouble, but she couldn’t hear why.

He secured the crown prince’s position, but she couldn’t hear what he was plotting.

At Ganye Temple, she wrote four words: “Your concubine misses you.”

He came.

On the night she lay gravely ill, for the first time in twenty years, two words slipped through the crack

[...Don’t die.]

She thought she had finally understood him.

Until he took her hand in the darkness and said,

“I knew you could hear thoughts all along.”

Twenty years. She thought she had been hidden in the shadows while he stood in the light.

It turned out that she was the one being watched all along.

Was he using her, or did he love her?

Even on the day she sat on the dragon throne, she never heard the answer.
