In her previous life, Shen Qingwu was killed by her stepmother and half-sister, who joined forces against her. Her younger brother died a brutal death, and the Crown Prince seized the marquis household’s military power. Reborn on the day she was supposed to break off her engagement at age fifteen, she unexpectedly gained the ability to read minds, hearing the most calculating interests hidden in other people’s thoughts. When her stepmother offered her poisoned tea, she threw it right back at her. When her half-sister tried to steal the account books, she exposed her on the spot. When the Crown Prince tried to end their engagement, she beat him to it and humiliated him. Just as she was preparing to live quietly and protect her younger brother, the Seventh Prince, Xie Yan, began approaching her again and again. Her mind-reading ability didn’t work on him. He said, “Shen Qingwu, the more you hide, the more I want to know what you’re really planning.”
