   Hey, my dear friends! I highly recommend a book that's absolutely addictive—"The Entire Court Hears My Heart's Voice, I'm Just Dodging the Grievance!" I love it so much, I've read it three times already, it's so hilarious 😎 The protagonist, Lin Mo, has a unique charm. He seems to be doing nothing, but he's actually very insightful. Faced with the complex situation of the entire court, he observes with a detached, detached attitude, displaying both humor and wit. When the entire court can hear the protagonist's inner thoughts, all sorts of wonderful chemical reactions unfold. The protagonist's true thoughts are revealed to everyone, and this contrast is both endearing and frustrating. The officials in the book are also very distinctive: there are upright and loyal ministers, cunning and scheming officials, and sycophantic villains. Their reactions to hearing the protagonist's inner thoughts vary—some are shocked, some are confused, some are angry, and some are admiring. The interactions and conflicts between these characters add countless exciting moments to the story. This book is like a mysterious treasure, waiting for you to discover it. It not only boasts a captivating plot but also unforgettable characters. Come and immerse yourself in this surprising ancient world, and experience a thrilling adventure with these unique characters!
