My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed: The First Emperor Made Me Draw a World Map

The good news: Shen Buyan transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty and gets to meet Ying Zheng up close, all six feet six inches of him, charming and every bit the legendary ancestor!

The bad news: She's transmigrated into the lowest-ranking cleaning maid in the Qin imperial harem, scrubbing floors every day until she's dog-tired.

Shen Buyan decides to keep her head down and stay alive, without saying a word more than necessary.

What she doesn't know is that Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, can actually hear her thoughts!

On the outside, Shen Buyan kowtows frantically. "This servant deserves to die. This servant knows nothing!"

In her head, she rants: [Brother Zheng, run! The dagger that Jing Ke's carrying is poisoned! The poison is hidden in the map!]

Ying Zheng: ???

On the outside, Shen Buyan meekly says, "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! A thousand times, long live Your Majesty!"

In her head, she wails: [What do you mean, long live? You eat toxic pills every day, the Qin Dynasty falls after just two generations, and your good-for-nothing son Hu Hai is about to cause trouble!]

Ying Zheng: !!! (He draws the Tai'a Sword.)

Later, as Shen Buyan sweeps the floor, she mutters to herself: [Sigh, if Brother Zheng knew there was an endless supply of gold and high-yield potatoes across the sea, he'd probably drool with envy...]

The next day, Ying Zheng plants the Tai'a Sword in front of Shen Buyan. "Forget the sweeping! Draw me a map of the world! I'm going to conquer all of it!"
