After Learning to Understand Babies, the Cast-Off Consort Takes Her Child and Turns the Prince's Estate Upside Down

Lin Niannian transmigrates.

She becomes the most miserable woman in the Great Yan Dynasty: Su Jinyao, the principal consort of Prince Jing's manor.

Her husband is cold and keeps his distance, the secondary consort brazenly tramples all over her, and her mother-in-law is so spiteful she won't even look her in the eye. Everyone in the manor is waiting to see when she and her newborn son will breathe their last.

More absurd still, she's bound to an idiotic System.

System mission: "Host, smile at the prince three times today! Reward: a feather duster!"

Lin Niannian: "...Are you serious?"

The one piece of good news is that she discovers she can understand babies.

Her month-old son, Tuantuan, tells her in his baby voice:

"Mama, that pretty auntie spat in your medicine."

"Mama, mean Granny hid lots of shiny things in the chest."

"Mama, Papa came to see you secretly in the middle of the night. He even smelled your hair."

Lin Niannian: ???

And so:

When the secondary consort poisons her, she sees through it in advance and reports her on the spot.

When her mother-in-law hides her private stash, she pinpoints it exactly and gets every account straight.

When the prince pretends to be aloof, she knows exactly what's going on and waits for him to crack first.

While everyone expects this discarded consort to die quietly in the back courtyard, she takes her little one and sweeps through the manor, turns the capital upside down, and makes her way into court politics.

Her little one says, "Mama is the best!"

The idiotic System says, "Congratulations, Host, you've unlocked the achievement: Queen of the Manor! Reward: a piece of scrap paper!"

At last the prince loses his composure and corners her against a wall. "Su Jinyao, just how much have you been hiding from me?"

Lin Niannian hugs her little one close and smiles serenely.

"Your Highness, our story has only just begun."
