Su Zhi opened her eyes and found herself as a doomed supporting character in a storybook, one who wouldn't live past chapter three: her engagement was broken off, she was saddled with a huge debt, and she had an adorably fierce four-year-old in tow. To make matters worse, a System calling itself "Comeback 818" appeared in her mind. Its first task: pay off fifty taels in three days.
Others fight tooth and nail to make a comeback. Su Zhi does it by eavesdropping. The System gives her a pair of "mind-reading ears": Her creditor thinks she's a penniless pauper, her fiance has already climbed up the social ladder, and even her mysterious benefactor, as cold as frost, is thinking, "Her hand is so soft. I want to hold it again."
Well, would you look at that? Everyone in the capital is putting on an act!
She opens a restaurant, takes on her stepmother, and investigates an old case, using her ability to hear people's thoughts to take the world by storm. Her stepmother smiles falsely and calls her "my child," while thinking, "I'll kill her." The white lotus cries and calls her "Sister," while thinking, "I'll take everything from you." Su Zhi smiles faintly, then produces the evidence and leaves the whole hall speechless.
But why does Prince Jing, who is rumored to have no interest in women, keep coming to her little restaurant? Why are his thoughts filled with "I want to marry her"?
The little boy plants his hands on his hips, adorably fierce. "If you want to steal my mother, you'll have to get past my fists!"
As a scandal at court, the old case surrounding her birth mother, and a hidden hand in the palace come to light one after another, this supporting character's comeback is only just beginning.
