The Tyrant Can Read Minds, So I Quit Pretending in the Harem

After transmigrating into the body of a concubine to a tyrant, Lu Jinyi is utterly despairing about her new profession.

Better to die in style than live a pathetic life.

As the saying goes, the workplace is a battlefield. If you want a promotion, you can't just keep your head down.

Beauty is your foot in the door, intelligence is your lifeline.

Personality determines your fate, and emotional intelligence determines your standing.

As long as she keeps her head down... Lu Jinyi discovers that there's no way she can keep her head down at all.

When faced with the emperor's sharp tongue, even a saintly soul would lose her temper.

The ultimate career goal: A concubine who doesn't want to become empress dowager is no good concubine.

Xiao Yanshan was a bandit who raised a rebellion and fought his way to the imperial capital, becoming emperor. He didn't believe in gods, ghosts, or fate, until one day he discovered that he could hear the thoughts of Lu Jinyi, the new concubine in his palace.

She's a person growing out of a rebellious streak, a mouth sprouting from a blade. Anyone she talks about is bound to get their hide tanned.

Much later...

Lu Jinyi: The emperor's perfect in every way, except for that mouth of his.

Xiao Yan: The empress is perfect in every way, except for that mouth of hers.
