Qiao Yinan's surname is Introvert, and her given name is Social Anxiety. She's a humble, utterly devoted corporate drone. One day, she inexplicably discovers that other people can hear her thoughts.
Fortunately, although they can hear her, they can't tell whose thoughts they are.
Even so, Qiao Yinan remains on edge every single day.
Because although she seems like a perfect young woman on the outside, on the inside she's an absolute lunatic...
For example:
During rush hour, the roads are gridlocked and the bus is packed. Someone with no sense keeps crowding the driver and pestering him.
Qiao Yinan's morning grumpiness hasn't worn off. Clinging to the handrail and squeezed nearly flat, she rants inwardly: I'm gonna kill you all!
The people who hear her are so scared they want to call the police. Qiao Yinan is so scared she hides in every corner.
At a meeting, the boss says he has a little suggestion to make.
Qiao Yinan, after hearing it: What a fucking idiot. Even an elementary school kid wouldn't come up with such a stupid suggestion.
Boss: !!!
It was the same on the day she met Gu Wenle. He was a major client of their company, one of the key clients Qiao Yinan handled. But looking at Gu Wenle's poker face as he put on airs, and how he was always calling people, Qiao Yinan couldn't help going off in her head.
Gu Wenle: ???
To preserve her social standing and career, Qiao Yinan can only look around at every crime scene and pretend to be shocked and flustered.
But one person still figured it out.
He pulled Qiao Yinan into his arms and listened to the torrent of thoughts pouring from her like on-screen comments. His lips curled into a smile. "This time, are you still going to deny it?"
But before Qiao Yinan could answer, Gu Wenle's face fell apart. Through gritted teeth, he said, "What do you mean, mine is harder?!"
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only.
2. Lighthearted, but with an overwhelming amount of snark. Read with caution.
