What Bad Intentions Could a Lovesick Fool Like Me Have?

After Marquis of Changling Yin Huai took a fall, he discovered he could see the images appearing in other people's minds.

For everyone else, they were brief snippets. But the images in his beloved wife Zhao Jia's mind came in whole episodes.

Zhao Jia, heartbroken: "My lord, drink your medicine. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't want to go on living either."

Yin Huai was just about to be moved when he saw the scene in his wife's mind:

[In a dim room in a back alley, the beautiful Jinlian sat beside the bed holding a bowl of medicine. Lying on the bed was a short, ugly man named Dalang. Jinlian gently called out, "Dalang, time for your medicine. Drink this poison while it's hot. It'll work faster."]

The woman had Zhao Jia's face, and the man had his.

Yin Huai: "..."

So much for his beloved wife!

His cousin's marriage was going poorly, so she came to visit and take her mind off things. She brought up how they had almost been engaged years ago.

Yin Huai explained, "That never happened. Cousin is just teasing you."

Zhao Jia, understanding: "Yes, my lord. I'll believe anything you tell me."

And in her mind:

[In a grand mansion's rear courtyard, Aili comes out after bathing. A little later, a man named Shixian pushes open the door. He sees her and says in shock, "Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes? You're such a flirt!"]

Aili was Zhao Jia, Shixian was him, and Pinru had his cousin's face.

Yin Huai's expression went blank: "..."

Reading guide:

1. The blurb is from the male lead's perspective, but the story is told from the female lead's perspective.

2. All the scenes in the female lead's mind take place in an ancient setting and are inspired by melodramatic TV dramas.

3. A silly comedy. Just turn your brain off and enjoy it.
