The moment Su Ruanruan opens her eyes, she has transmigrated into a historical romance novel as the vicious, useless empress who doesn't survive past three episodes.
The original owner was caught poisoning someone. The tyrant Ye Lin sits on the throne, murder in his eyes, while a cup of poisoned wine is already waiting before her.
Her transmigration leaves her life hanging by a thread. Su Ruanruan neither cries nor makes a scene. Instead, she pulls the silver hairpin from her head and looks straight at the tyrant. "Your Majesty, this poison is fake. Instead of killing me, why not let me try treating your headaches?"
The entire court gasps. The tyrant has suffered from insomnia and irritability for years, and the imperial physicians are all at a loss.
Who could have guessed that after a single needle prick, the tyrant would fall peacefully asleep right on his throne?
From then on, the discarded empress becomes the tyrant's personal physician. She treats headaches, cures plague, exposes hypocrites, and puts villains in their place.
She thinks she's diligently building her career, never realizing that the tyrant has heard every single thought she reads.
"This tyrant is so handsome, but his cervical spine problems are serious."
"The women in the harem dust themselves with lead every day. Aren't they afraid of getting poisoned?"
One day, the tyrant can take no more. He pins her to the dragon bed as she's busy ranting in her mind. "Insulting me in your thoughts? Are you asking me to punish you?"
Su Ruanruan looks at his harmless-looking face and finally realizes that he seems to be able to hear her thoughts.
