After Reading His Majesty’s Mind, I Learned He’s a Hopeless Romantic

[Please don't give this three stars] [Preorder: I Saw the Bullet Comments and Discovered the Emperor Is a Player, available in my author page] It took Hua Yishu just half a year to go from the most famous courtesan in the pleasure quarter to empress of an entire kingdom. The emperor's diary: Although Hua Yishu used to be a courtesan, and although she deceived me, we understand each other perfectly. She worries about what worries me and thinks about what I think about. Her love for me is genuine. The love con artist Hua Yishu: ... She only smiled and said nothing. Hua Yishu discovered that whenever she touched the emperor, she could hear his thoughts. What was there to hesitate about? Of course she would trick him into bed, trick him into falling for her, and take his money too. When they first met, Hua Yishu brazenly declared, "I am the daughter of a loyal general who died in battle." The emperor kept a calm face. "I see." In his mind: Shock! When did the loyal general's congenital impotence get cured? I'm out of the loop! During the selection of consorts, Hua Yishu said, "My beauty has yet to fade, but your favor has already waned. Now that Your Majesty has ten beauties, will there still be a place for me?" The emperor replied, "I am the Son of Heaven. I should spread my favor evenly." In his mind: See those ten rivals? This is a warning. Don't you dare fail to appreciate it. Hurry up and pretend to be ill tonight so I can visit you. Hua Yishu: ... Later, the emperor discovered that the loyal general never had a daughter, and that Hua Yishu, whom he had made empress, was merely a courtesan. His face turned green as he stormed into the rear palace to confront her. Hua Yishu: Oh, so you only loved a false identity. The emperor put on a cold face, but in his heart: No, whoever you are, you're still my darling. A bewitching courtesan heroine, a master of performance and a love con artist, vs. a powerful but two-faced hero with a foolish mind and the heart of a teenage girl. The heroine starts out as a love con artist, while the hero is lovesick from beginning to end. Reader's guide: 1. The heroine did not transmigrate into a book. She picked up someone who had. 2. A funny, lively sweet romance. Completed novel: The Demon Consort Ruled the Harem: A funny, ridiculous story about a foolish emperor and a demon consort who are both reborn and work together to build their country. Upcoming novel: I Saw the Bullet Comments and Discovered the Emperor Is a Player On her first day in the palace, Ji Heqing nearly died beneath the tyrant's sword. When the blade was just three inches from her, a line of bullet comments suddenly floated before her eyes: If she says she's a player too, she'll definitely survive! Ji Heqing blurted out, "I'm a player too!" Although she had no idea what that meant, the tyrant's sword fell, and she survived. Everyone in the Shangshu household knew that Lord Shangshu had brought his illegitimate daughter Ji Heqing back from the countryside to take the place of his legitimate daughter and enter the palace as a consort. Everyone in the capital knew the emperor was cruel and ruthless, trusted corrupt officials, and slaughtered loyal ministers. He also had no interest in women. Any woman who tried to approach him ended up with weeds three feet tall growing over her grave. Ji Heqing had only two possible fates in the palace: death, or a life without children or favor, followed by being buried with the tyrant when he died. No one expected Ji Heqing to get lucky and win the emperor's favor. The cruel ruler treated her with warmth and kindness, ate and lived with her, and went sightseeing with her. He even washed his hands and made her a meal! Ji Heqing suddenly became the most talked-about woman in the palace, and everyone felt both love and resentment toward her. Ji Heqing, too, became incredibly busy. In the morning, she received lonely consorts who wanted her to teach them the secrets of winning favor. In the afternoon, she had to deal with the flattery of so-called treacherous officials. In the evening, she received a secret letter from her cheap father. He wanted her to steal the imperial family's secrets, or else he would kill her cheap mother. Ji Heqing: ... Heh. Everyone thought the tyrant cherished her above all others. In reality, he went sightseeing with her to test her identity, and cooked for her to practice his cooking skill. Everyone thought she could rest easy. In reality, she was constantly on edge, afraid the emperor would realize she wasn't from his world. Because His Majesty was not from this world. He called himself a player. One sunny day, the tyrant personally made another bowl of food. Ji Heqing smiled as she ate, and clearly saw a line of text float before her: Food consumed +1, Constitution +1. Feeling her body grow stronger, Ji Heqing said sincerely, "Thank you." The tyrant was very amiable. "We're fellow countrymen. No need to thank me." Ji Heqing saw another line of bullet comments float through the air: He's checking his status screen again and has discovered that Ji Heqing is still in the opposing faction. Ji Heqing: ... #Pretending to be from the tyrant's world is exhausting# #So how good is cola that the tyrant can't stop thinking about it?# Theme: Are kings and nobles born to rule?
