Synopsis
The emperor is believed to be deaf since childhood, but Liang Rui actually possesses the hidden ability to hear the inner thoughts of those around him. While most of the court harbors secret admirations for the ruler, he encounters one official, Xie Feibai, who privately views him as unattractive. This reads like a lighthearted romantic comedy utilizing the 'secret power' and 'enemies-to-lovers' tropes common in palace-set BL stories. It is ideal for readers seeking a short, fluffy romance with a comedic twist. Those looking for complex political intrigue or long-form character development should skip it. The pacing is brisk due to its extreme brevity, with the standout quality being the humorous contrast between the court's internal monologues and the emperor's direct reactions to them.

Editorial Review
This is a completed BL piece, but its length is remarkably short at only four chapters. The central conceit—a ruler who can hear the secret thoughts of his subordinates—provides an immediate and effective hook for comedy and romantic tension. However, the primary issue is the lack of substance; with only four chapters, there is insufficient room for meaningful plot progression or deep emotional stakes. Given the very low view count and the minimal chapter count, it feels more like a brief vignette or a short story than a full novel. While it succeeds as a 'sweet text' for those who enjoy quick reads, it fails to provide the narrative weight expected of a traditional webnovel. It is a cute concept that remains largely underdeveloped due to its size.
