[Mind reading + powerful woman with a secret identity + sweet married life + contrasting charm + lighthearted comedy + one-on-one romance + satisfying power fantasy + love-struck male lead]
Jiang Wanli is a minor celebrity and a bankrupt heiress, with only a few hundred yuan in her bank account and three days left before her rent is due.
With nowhere else to turn, her manager puts her on a dating reality show, claiming she just has to play along as a date for a rich family's dim-witted son.
But she isn't interested in the fool. At first sight, she falls for the impossibly handsome man in the corner, who looks as poor as a church mouse.
She figures, If I marry him, at least I'll save on the VIP subscription for looking at handsome men.
They hit it off, get their marriage certificate, and move into Fu Yechen's “ordinary apartment.”
Jiang Wanli thinks she's scored a bargain of a husband, until one day she unexpectedly gains the ability to read minds, but can only hear Fu Yechen's thoughts.
The cold, chaste man on the outside has a mind that scrolls with thoughts like:
“My wife looked at me three times today.”
“She likes strawberry cake. I need to remember that.”
“That male star is standing too close to her. I'll have him kicked out of showbiz tomorrow.”
Jiang Wanli: ?
Even more absurdly, she discovers her “poor husband” is the most powerful young heir in Beijing's elite circles...
Meanwhile, Fu Yechen looks calm as a mountain on the outside, but is panicking on the inside:
Oh no. What if my wife finds out and runs away?
The most clever design of this book is that it puts the "mind-reading" ability in the hands of the heroine, and it only works on the husband. This restriction seems to narrow the scope of abilities, but actually creates greater dramatic tension: What Jiang Wanli obtains is not an omniscient lazy golden finger, but a "peep window" that accurately opens into the marriage relationship.
It looks good, I hope the author will update it soon...
