Description
An Jiu transmigrated into a little palace maid in the emperor’s palace who wanted to climb onto the dragon bed. As soon as she opened her eyes, the tyrant stabbed the little palace maid trying to seduce him straight through the heart with a sword. The next day, the tyrant stabbed the chief palace maid beside a concubine to death. On the third day, the palace maid who tasted food for the emperor died from poisoning. Being a palace maid was a high-risk job, so An Jiu decided to work hard, save a lot of money, cherish her life, and stay far away from the tyrant. But at this moment, she suddenly heard the tyrant’s inner thoughts. “Ahhh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, are these memorials written like dog sh*t? Didn’t I already say no peaches, no peaches, no peaches, yet they keep asking, keep asking, keep asking every day.” An Jiu? “Is the new palace maid an idiot? Standing there like a lampstand? Can’t she see my neck is sore and not come over to give me a massage?” An Jiu moved her feet and tentatively massaged the emperor’s shoulders… “The desserts from the Imperial Kitchen are choking me to death, has Eunuch Li gone blind, doesn’t even know to pour me a cup of water…” An Jiu moved over and poured a cup of tea… Gradually, the palace maids and eunuchs in Guanghua Hall discovered that the tyrant’s temper seemed to have improved a lot… The concubines in the harem wept with joy. His Majesty’s madness is cured. Does that mean he can now take them to bed… “Am I a breeding horse? Making me flip nameplates every day. This is a human waist, not a pig kidney… Speaking of kidneys, now I suddenly feel like eating stir-fried kidneys…” Thus the green nameplate was removed, and a plate of delicious kidneys was served. An Jiu was promoted from little palace maid to a managing matron… An Jiu realized she suddenly couldn’t hear the tyrant’s inner thoughts anymore…

My Thoughts on With the Tyrant’s Mind-Reading Powers, I Went Wild in the Palace
"With the Tyrant’s Mind-Reading Powers, I Went Wild in the Palace" sounded like a fun premise, and after diving in, I found myself mostly agreeing with that sentiment. It's a lighthearted story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's definitely part of its charm. While it might not be a literary masterpiece, it offers a welcome escape with plenty of laughs.
First Impressions
The initial hook of a protagonist who can read the tyrant's mind in a historical setting is undeniably intriguing. I was immediately curious to see how Anjiu, our female lead, would navigate the treacherous waters of the imperial palace with this unique ability. The early chapters did a good job of setting up the premise and introducing the key players, leaving me eager to see what shenanigans would unfold.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a highlight. The story excels as a workplace comedy, showcasing Anjiu's struggles and triumphs in a bizarre and often absurd environment. The dynamic between Anjiu and the Emperor is particularly well-executed. The Emperor's internal monologues, juxtaposed with his outward demeanor, create a constant source of amusement. I found myself chuckling at his inner turmoil and the contrast between his naive side and his regal persona.
Anjiu herself is a very likable protagonist. She's pragmatic, resourceful, and doesn't fall into the trap of looking down on the people of the time. She acknowledges the differences between modern and historical perspectives, which I greatly appreciate. The supporting characters, like Matron Qu, also add depth and humor to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
While the story is generally well-paced, I do wonder if the plot might become repetitive. I hope the author introduces new challenges and complexities to keep the story fresh and engaging as it progresses.
Final Verdict
Overall, I'd recommend "With the Tyrant’s Mind-Reading Powers, I Went Wild in the Palace" if you're looking for a lighthearted and funny read. It's a fun rom-com with a relatable protagonist and a unique premise that sets it apart. Just be prepared for a fast-paced story that prioritizes humor and entertainment over deep, complex plotlines. I'm giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not perfect, but it's certainly enjoyable.
