After Gaining Mind Reading Abilities, the Male Lead's Love Brain Can't Be Hidden Anymore

Jiang Ruohua, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of the Jiang family, suddenly changed her temperament after a vivid dream of a tragic future. In her dream, she was obedient to her fiancé, Prince Ying, who was favored by Consort Yi, but he later used her family's military power to seize the throne, framed the Jiang family for treason, and had her grandfather and father killed. The third branch of her own family, led by her Third Madam, conspired with Prince Ying to bring about her family's downfall. Awakening, Jiang Ruohua decided to defy fate by breaking off the imperial marriage engagement.

Without informing her family, she went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. By hinting that the Jiang family had no male heir and that its military power would soon return to the throne after her father's generation, she eased the emperor's suspicion and secured a decree to dissolve the engagement. This act shocked the capital. In the aftermath, she openly confronted Zhao Yuexi, Prince Ying's fragile and scheming favorite, who tried to blame Jiang Ruohua for the Prince's distress after the broken engagement. Jiang Ruohua fiercely defended herself, exposing Zhao Yuexi's attempts to ruin her reputation and making it clear that she would not be humiliated.

Prince Ying, unwilling to lose the Jiang family's support, stopped her carriage and ordered her not to invalidate the marriage contract. Jiang Ruohua ridiculed him, stating that she would never re-enter the imperial decree and that she had no interest in someone who favored a concubine over his wife. Prince Ying threatened her, but she remained unafraid, confident that her boldness protected her family. She then learned that her grandfather was being isolated by the third branch, with servants blocking her visits and spying on her.

Seeking to unite with her grandfather and learn the truth, Jiang Ruohua pretended to fall on broken bricks, using the commotion to secretly deliver a message through her maid. She exposed the spy on the third branch's payroll and gained access to her grandfather's courtyard. There, she revealed the third branch's schemes to usurp the family legacy and Prince Ying's future betrayal. Her grandfather, the old Duke, was shocked but listened. Jiang Ruohua declared her ambition to protect the family's fortune, not through marriage but by obtaining the title of Commandery Princess to legally inherit her father's legacy.

Jiang Ruohua's transformation terrified the third branch, especially her Third Madam, who returned home to find the engagement broken and her control slipping. Jiang Ruohua's father, General Jiang He, returned from the border to support his daughter's decision, revealing his own distrust of Prince Ying and confirming that he had no interest in remarrying. The Duke's mansion was now divided, with the old Duke agreeing to help Jiang Ruohua secure the title of Commandery Princess to safeguard the family's future. Jiang Ruohua resolved to stand alone, powerful and untouchable, no longer a pawn for the imperial court or her own relatives.

Meanwhile, Prince Ying, humiliated by the broken engagement and Jiang Ruohua's scolding, continued to obsess over the marriage. Zhao Yuexi, feeling threatened, tried to win back Prince Ying's favor, but Prince Ying's coldness toward her deepened. Jiang Ruohua's sharp tongue and bold actions left Prince Ying angry and confused, as he could not comprehend her disdain for the title of Princess Ying. Jiang Ruohua, now free of the engagement, focused her efforts on claiming her birthright with the authority of the imperial title and the unwavering support of her father and grandfather.
