Modern office drone Lin Xiao accidentally time-travels to an ancient dynasty, becoming a low-ranking official. He constantly complains about strict rules and the Empress's harsh regime, thinking no one hears. Unbeknownst to him, the Empress possesses a mystical ability to overhear his thoughts. When Lin fears execution for treason, she not only spares him but promotes him to a trusted advisor due to his blunt, modern insights. Grateful yet suspicious, Lin gets dragged into a turbulent palace power struggle, where the Empress's lenience hides a shocking twist: she's been manipulated by corrupt ministers and needs Lin's critiques to reclaim the throne. Will this game of trust end in betrayal or redemption?
