The Emperor Can Hear My Inner Thoughts [Transmigration into a Book]
Author: Yezi Bai
Synopsis
Lin Nanji transmigrated into a melodramatic multiple-love-interest novel as the emperor's young personal attendant, born with the fate of cannon fodder.
Good news: his life was not in danger for the moment.
Bad news: he was a fake eunuch—the kind who would be beheaded if discovered.
Lin Nanji: “……”
Holding a pair of scissors, he looked at □□ and trembled slightly.
He couldn't do it. He really couldn't.

Inside the imperial study, Li Chengxian was furious over the Great General submitting a memorial urging him to favor the harem and produce heirs: “Since when does my visiting the harem require his interference?!”
Everyone below dropped to their knees. As Lin Nanji knelt, he frantically complained in his head: 【Your achievements already threaten the throne, you're standing over a boiling cauldron, and you still dare tell the emperor to produce heirs? Do you have a death wish?!】
Li Chengxian nodded inwardly. Look, even a little eunuch understood that much.
Suddenly, inspiration struck: 【Wait. There's another reason behind this!】
【Whoa! So that's it! The Great General has long harbored feelings for the emperor! Because he's a man and can't enter the palace to stay by His Majesty's side, he sent his younger sister into the harem instead.】
Li Chengxian's expression cracked slightly. How dare he overstep his place and covet the imperial body.

【He even collected socks the emperor had worn and kept them beneath his pillow every night, using the scent to think of him. …This is the first time I've heard of remembering someone through their socks. What kind of special fetish is that?】
Lin Nanji was still savoring the gossip when the emperor slammed down the memorial, swept his sleeves, and stormed furiously into the Great General's residence.
Lin Nanji was baffled: What is he running off to do now?

Emperor: FIND! THE! SOCKS!

Li Chengxian was wholeheartedly devoted to his white moonlight and kept himself chaste.
Lin Nanji: 【Heh. You're just a substitute who resembles the one he really loves.】
Lin Nanji: 【The emperor looks just like his white moonlight's first love. That's why the white moonlight can't let him go.】

Either he was being cuckolded or used as somebody else's substitute. Li Chengxian, the exalted Son of Heaven, had gone completely numb. Looking at the culprit's handsome, fair face, something inside him twisted slightly:
“Drag him away. Strip off his trousers. Twenty strokes!”
–
Lin Nanji thought the emperor was becoming more and more perverted. He always wanted Lin Nanji's trousers stripped off without explanation, then insisted on watching the punishment.
Lin Nanji was developing a shadow over having his trousers removed. He kept feeling that if this went on, his identity would be exposed sooner or later.
Taking advantage of Li Chengxian's good mood, Lin Nanji fawned, “Your Majesty, next time, could you not have this servant's trousers taken off?”
Lin Nanji: 【Damn dog emperor, you sick pervert. Why do you keep staring at a eunuch down there? It's already been beaten flat like a pancake—what's there to look at?!】
A sinister smile appeared on Li Chengxian's face. Pervert? I'll show you what a real pervert looks like.
