share time: 2025-10-03 12:43:24

Xia Banxia, a young palace maid, gains the ability to hear Emperor Xiao Jingyan's thoughts after an accident. She discovers that the seemingly forbearing emperor actually hates the Empress Dowager—who controls the government and murdered the late emperor—but can only plot secretly due to weak power. Banxia initially wants to stay out of trouble, but when she hears the emperor murmur to the late emperor's portrait, "If I can get rid of the Empress Dowager, I'd risk my life," she softens—this emperor, like her, is a "poor soul" oppressed by the Empress Dowager. So she secretly collects evidence of the Empress Dowager's cronies' embezzlement and collusion with foreign tribes, even risking stealing secret letters, but is caught and thrown into the dungeon. At the critical moment, the emperor's thought crashes into her mind: "This time, I'll gamble for you and the world." But the Empress Dowager's 100,000 elite soldiers have surrounded the palace. Can the emperor's 3,000 imperial guards turn the tide? Can their "mind-hearing alliance" break the iron-fisted rule?
