The Tyrant's Inner Symphony [Complete]

"If you can hear me, Lianyu... you should know that your waist looks incredibly small in that shirt. I wonder if I can wrap both my hands around it."

For two years, Xie Lianyu lived a double life. Ever since a freak accident involving a 40°C fever and a flight of stairs, he was cursed with the Ling-Tong tether-the mystical ability to read the unfiltered minds of anyone within a five-meter radius. He survived the daily onslaught of human pettiness by building thick mental walls, fully believing the ancient legend that the curse would only break when he shared a first kiss with his fated soulmate.

Lianyu accepted his fate as a lifelong bachelor. After all, true love felt like a myth.
Until he stepped into an elevator with Lu Jue.

Lu Jue was the undisputed tyrant of the corporate world-a tall, ruthlessly handsome CEO whose icy glare could freeze water.
Employees cleared hallways just to avoid him. But the moment their five-meter radiuses overlapped, a booming, dramatic, and hopelessly smitten voice blasted directly into Lianyu's brain:

[Oh my god. An angel. Look at those soft, fluffy curls... I want to pocket him and take him home.]

Traumatized and bursting into uncontrollable blushes, Lianyu does everything he can to flee from the CEO. But Lu Jue is hyper-observant. It doesn't take long for the cold-blooded corporate monster to realize that his cute little data analyst can hear his every thoughts.

And that's when Lu Jue decides to weaponize his inner monologue.
