Yu Zhi transmigrates into the novel as Yu Weiyue, the villainess who bullies men and abuses her power.
In the novel, the fifth princess, Yu Weiyue, is ignorant and lazy. Apart from her royal status, she has nothing going for her. All the eligible young noblemen in the capital avoid her, keeping their words cold and distant for fear she'll take a fancy to them and force them to marry her. But she doesn't care. As the heroine told her, as long as she stops coveting things that don't belong to her, she can lie flat and live out her days in comfort and wealth. Isn't that exactly the life she'd dreamed of in her previous life?
The novel's male lead, Jiang Yunjin, is a noble young gentleman from an illustrious family, a beauty renowned throughout the capital. He's peerlessly handsome and treats people with cool distance, but is never discourteous, except to Yu Weiyue. Whenever they meet, he mocks her without a shred of decorum. Everyone knows that Young Master Jiang loathes the fifth princess, and Yu Weiyue thinks so too. After all, male leads always adore the heroine and hate the villainess. That is, until one day she falls off a horse and suddenly gains the ability to read minds.
She discovers that whenever Jiang Yunjin mocks her, what he says and what he thinks are completely different!
She wants to teach an illiterate son of a concubine to read, and happens to run into Jiang Yunjin. He sneers, "The fifth princess can barely recognize a few characters herself, and now she's teaching someone to read?"
Yu Weiyue is about to retort when an annoyed voice suddenly sounds in her ear: [You're always flirting with people outside. I love reading too. Why don't you teach me?]
She comes across a man being harassed on the road and casually steps in to help. Jiang Yunjin appears from who knows where, looking as if he could cry from disgust. With red-rimmed eyes, he scolds her: "The fifth princess is shameless by nature. Yesterday it was one man, and today you've already switched to another. How disgraceful!"
Yu Weiyue says nothing, silently watching him. As expected, she hears his thoughts: [What exactly do they have that I don't? Am I the only one who can't be by your side?]
Shocking! OVO
Her mind-reading ability only works on the male lead.
Easygoing female lead who just wants to lie flat x aloof male lead who throws himself at her
Theme: You have to work hard to get what you want.
