[Blurb]
Bad news: Lu Yunshu transmigrated into a book.
Worse news: Lu Yunshu transmigrated into the body of a cannon-fodder character from the original novel!
On her first day after transmigrating into a book, Lu Yunshu acquired a new identity: the wife of a top scholar accused of embezzlement.
On her first day after transmigrating into a book, Lu Yunshu was given a grave punishment: exile three thousand li to Lingnan.
What a disastrous start.
But there was some good news: Lu Yunshu had gained the ability to read minds.
Mind reading? Wouldn't that make her invincible? Lu Yunshu was secretly delighted.
Wait a minute, Xiao Jinchen, Duke Anhe, who had come to investigate the case, seemed to have transmigrated too.
She could hear everyone's thoughts, but his alone were like a black hole, utterly silent. She couldn't hear a thing.
Xiao Jinchen: HOW ARE YOU?
Lu Yunshu: I AM FINE, THANK YOU, AND YOU?
Lu Yunshu was overjoyed inside:
[Who would've thought I'd meet a fellow countryman here?]
[I'd better hold on tight to Xiao Jinchen, my powerful backer.]
Xiao Jinchen smiled without a word.
Xiao Jinchen suddenly discovered that he could hear the thoughts of the woman in front of him! He could catch every single one of her private remarks with perfect clarity.
How interesting.
And this woman was the wife of the mastermind behind the embezzlement case. Excellent, excellent.
With her help, wouldn't solving this case be a piece of cake?
Only...
[I've got to say, this Duke Anhe is pretty handsome. Mmm, so hot~]
[Wow, those broad shoulders, and those barely visible muscles.]
[He's so handsome. It'd be even better if I could touch him a little.]
[Take it off, take it off, take it off. Could you take off a little more?]
Xiao Jinchen raised an eyebrow. "Want me to keep taking it off?"
[Really... I really can keep going?]
Lu Yunshu had a bad feeling: [Can he hear my thoughts?]
Meeting Xiao Jinchen's sly, teasing gaze, Lu Yunshu was sure of it. He really could hear her!
Then... had Xiao Jinchen heard every single one of her lovestruck thoughts, too?
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Lu Yunshu's vision went dark, and she tried to escape reality.
Xiao Jinchen leaned close to her ear. A smile appeared on his icy face. "Miss Lu, are you saying you don't want to take responsibility?"
Theme: Be self-reliant and persevere through hardship.
