After being unfairly killed in a ridiculous accident, Jiujiu arrives in the underworld and immediately starts arguing with the King of Hell himself. Unable to endure her endless complaints and nonstop chatter, Yama decides the quickest solution is to send her away—straight into the world of a novel.

Unfortunately, her new life is far from ideal.

Rather than becoming a beloved heroine, Jiujiu is reincarnated as a neglected princess confined to the infamous Cold Palace, a place reserved for forgotten members of the imperial family. As if that weren’t bad enough, the story’s scheming heroine soon frames her, causing her biological father—the ruthless emperor of Western Chu—to become furious enough to order her execution.

Filled with outrage, Jiujiu silently curses in her heart.

She complains that the emperor is a tyrant incapable of distinguishing right from wrong and predicts that his foolish decisions will eventually lead to the downfall of the entire kingdom within ten years.

Then something impossible happens.

The emperor suddenly freezes.

To Jiujiu’s horror, she discovers that he can somehow hear every thought running through her mind.

With her inner monologue completely exposed, the princess who was supposed to be doomed suddenly finds herself at the center of the empire’s attention. As secrets, future events, and hidden conspiracies are accidentally revealed through her thoughts, Jiujiu may have unknowingly gained the power to change not only her own fate but also the destiny of the entire kingdom.
