When I Gained Mind-Reading, I Found Out Everyone Was Lying to Me!

[Bonus chapter drop!] [My new novel, "The Demon Servant I Picked Up Is the Demon Lord?", is now out. Please add it to your collection~] Before he was struck by lightning, Zhao Yuchen had always believed that his mother was kind, the imperial harem was harmonious, the palace staff were loyal, and the court officials were the pillars of the realm. He even thought himself a wise ruler, revered by all the people. It wasn’t until a spring thunderbolt gave him the ability to read minds that he discovered everyone was so different on the inside from how they appeared! Everyone is deceiving me! There was only one exception. The arrogant, overbearing Noble Consort Su was just as she had always been. She bossed people around and gave him a half-smile. "Are you stupid or something?" Zhao Yuchen was so moved he almost cried. "So Noble Consort Su is the only one who treats me well!" The heroine and everyone else: "???" A lighthearted, sweet and satisfying story: a beautiful, proud, arrogant noble consort who thinks only of herself and cares nothing for anyone’s opinion × a loyal dog of an emperor who has always had things go his way and is wildly narcissistic, but gets a thorough lesson from the real world. A companion mind-reading story, "The Demon Servant I Picked Up Is the Demon Lord?" Please give it a try~ Blurb: After entering a xianxia novel she had read, Lin Jianlu was delighted to discover that she could hear the thoughts of any named character in the book as long as they were within a hundred meters. Using this golden finger, Lin Jianlu successfully joined Tianyi Sect, where the male and female leads studied. With a powerful backer, she began a carefree life of cultivating immortality, eating gossip, and slacking off. As for the side effect... Lin Jianlu: Can you imagine what it’s like to have everyone within a hundred meters talking in your ear nonstop? Do you know how I’ve lived all these years?! To escape the mind-noise of people with no sense of boundaries, Lin Jianlu, a lively extrovert who loved socializing, was forced to become an introverted homebody who never left the mountain. That is, until she accidentally found a crow half-demon in the back hills, one that had failed to transform into human form. Half-demons were low in status and often taken as servants by immortals. And since Lin Jianlu couldn’t hear its thoughts, it clearly wasn’t any important named character, just some background NPC! After holding in her gossip for decades, Lin Jianlu’s curiosity burned bright. She treated the little half-demon like a living diary and talked nonstop to its crow form every day. "Did you know? This world is a book, and the heroine is the disciple of the greatest immortal master in the world. It’s a cliched master-disciple romance! A tortured love story, full of melodrama and tragedy!" "Oh, and there’s a big villain too, a lunatic demon sect leader who wants to destroy the world!" "That setup is so cliche. If this demon sect leader wants to die, he can die on his own. Why drag the whole world down with him? Is he some needy, obsessive maniac?" The crow half-demon remained silent. Its dark eyes were unfathomable, glimmering with a chilly light. At first, Lin Jianlu thought: Just look at those intelligent eyes. Crows really are the smartest birds! Don’t worry, you’re lucky to have me as your demon servant! I’m the most respectful of people... no, demon rights! That peaceful life came to an abrupt end when Lin Jianlu learned that the crow half-demon was actually the Demon Lord in disguise. How could that be! I can hear the thoughts of every named character in this book... Wait! The villain is only called the Demon Sect Leader. The original author never gave him a name! When it finally dawned on her, Lin Jianlu nearly cried. Trembling, she asked, "D-Demon Lord, what’s your name?" The Demon Sect Leader, Su Ci, replied in an oddly meaningful voice, "You call me Little Crow." Then he raised an eyebrow and added, "Master." P.S. I also have lots of completed novels, including "After My Husband Became a Broken Man," "Eunuch Su, Su the Eunuch," and "Reborn as the King's Favorite." Check them out~ Theme: Theme to be added.
