I Just Wanted to Be Rejected, but the Tyrant Took a Fancy to Me
On the day of the imperial selection, Song Jiuhe unexpectedly hears the emperor's inner thoughts. In his eyes, every beautiful candidate seems to have the face of an elderly court official, while she alone is the exception. Hoping to be rejected so she can stay alive, she is instead taken directly to Qianqing Palace by the emperor. Faced with a ruler rumored to be violent and to despise women, she can only cling to life by listening to his inner thoughts while trying her best to be a well-behaved palace maid serving at his side. Gradually, however, she discovers that the emperor is not quite as simple as the rumors suggest, and his attitude toward her grows increasingly strange. Then, one day, an urgent letter from outside the palace completely shatters her peaceful life.

Pada hari seleksi gadis istana, Song Jiuhe tanpa sengaja mendengar suara hati sang kaisar. Di matanya, semua gadis cantik yang mengikuti seleksi justru memiliki wajah para pejabat tua di istana, sementara hanya dirinya yang menjadi pengecualian. Awalnya, ia ingin gagal terpilih agar bisa menyelamatkan nyawanya, tetapi sang kaisar malah membawanya langsung ke Istana Qianqing. Menghadapi kaisar yang terkenal kejam dan membenci perempuan, ia hanya bisa bertahan hidup dengan mendengarkan suara hati sang kaisar sambil berusaha menjadi dayang istana yang patuh dan tidak banyak tingkah. Namun, lambat laun ia menyadari bahwa kaisar ini tampaknya tidak sesederhana yang dikabarkan. Sikapnya terhadap Song Jiuhe pun semakin aneh. Hingga suatu hari, sepucuk surat mendesak dari luar istana benar-benar menghancurkan kehidupan damainya.
