Yan Zhihuan transmigrates into a book and becomes the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, a clan of villains about to be executed in its entirety.
Her father is corrupt, her mother is a shrew, and her older brother is a wastrel. To stay alive, she takes a secure job at the Court of Judicial Review and keeps her head down.
Who could have guessed that the Court’s chief judge, her relatives, and even the emperor would all be linked to her “mind-reading device”!
Her father is just about to take a bribe.
[Stop taking bribes! Tomorrow your whole family will be stripped of its property, exiled, and have your legs broken!] Her father is so frightened that he donates all his money to the treasury overnight and becomes a great philanthropist.
Her older brother wants to make friends with famous scholars.
[Idiot, he’s a plagiarist who’s about to lose his head.] Her brother switches to martial arts overnight and becomes the top martial candidate.
After joining the Court of Judicial Review, Yan Zhihuan spends every day sipping tea, cracking melon seeds, and watching the show.
[How tragic. The Duke of Zhenguo is henpecked; he hides his private money in the soles of his shoes.]
[Huge scoop! The emperor actually loves stinky tofu most of all!]
The powerful figures of the capital, who all have their own agendas, not only dare not lay a hand on her, but scramble to promote her and raise her pay so they can keep enjoying the gossip.
Yan Zhihuan: Who’s making life so competitive for this lazy fish?!
Just watched it, the beginning is interesting
