My Whole Family Reads my Thoughts, I'm in Charge of Causing Trouble

Jiang Yuanxi, a former God of War in the heavens, reincarnates into the body of a newborn daughter of the Duke of An, expecting a peaceful and wealthy life. However, she quickly realizes she has been reborn into the novel "The Life of a Concubine's Daughter" as Jiang Yuanxi, the cannon fodder daughter of the legitimate son, Jiang Fengyuan. In the original story, this infant dies one day after birth, while her father is forced to surrender his military merits to his illegitimate half-brother, Jiang Qisheng, and eventually dies on the battlefield. Her family is later executed for treason. Determined to survive and change her fate, Jiang Yuanxi must navigate the treacherous politics of the Duke's mansion while dealing with her new family dynamics.

Upon birth, Jiang Yuanxi discovers that she can communicate her thoughts telepathically, and surprisingly, her parents, Jiang Fengyuan and Chen Shi, can hear them. This unique connection allows her to warn her parents about the dangers lurking within the family. She reveals that the second branch of the Jiang family, led by the Duke's favored illegitimate son, is plotting against the main branch. Jiang Yuanxi's inner voice exposes the true nature of those around them, including the deceitful fourth brother, Jiang Yuancheng, who had previously endangered her life. Her parents, initially unaware of the depth of the conspiracy, begin to trust their daughter's insights and take action to protect their family.

The central conflict escalates when the second branch frames Jiang Fengyuan for possessing the Duke's private seal, a crime that could lead to his downfall. Thanks to Jiang Yuanxi's warnings, Jiang Fengyuan is prepared and turns the tables on his accusers. He discovers that the seal was actually planted in the study of Jiang Qisheng, the illegitimate son, by the second branch's servants. This revelation humiliates the second branch and strengthens Jiang Fengyuan's position. Additionally, Jiang Yuanxi exposes the poisoning of her eldest brother, Jiang Yuansheng, by the second branch's maids, leading to their dismissal and further undermining the antagonists' influence.

A significant turning point occurs during Jiang Yuanxi's one-month celebration when the Emperor and Crown Prince unexpectedly visit. Jiang Yuanxi, through her telepathic communication, reveals future events to the Emperor, including a impending drought in Jiangnan and the corruption of officials tasked with relief efforts. She also predicts the Emperor's death from anger within two years if these issues are not addressed. Impressed by her insights and charm, the Emperor rewards Jiang Fengyuan with a promotion and grants Jiang Yuanxi a precious jade pendant, symbolizing imperial favor. This intervention protects the main branch from further attacks by the Duke and the second branch.

As the story progresses, Jiang Yuanxi continues to use her knowledge of the novel's plot to guide her family. She warns her brother Jiang Yuansheng about a deceitful friend who plans to ruin his reputation, preventing a major scandal. Meanwhile, the Emperor, acting on Jiang Yuanxi's predictions, sends the Crown Prince to investigate the drought in Jiangnan, aiming to prevent the disaster and corruption she foretold. The family's relationship with the imperial court strengthens, offering them protection and opportunities for advancement. Jiang Yuanxi's presence transforms the trajectory of her family's fate, shifting them from potential victims to favored allies of the throne.

The narrative also delves into the personal growth of Jiang Yuanxi's family members. Jiang Fengyuan, once submissive to his father's favoritism, becomes more assertive in defending his family. Chen Shi, initially gentle and forgiving, learns to be strategic and ruthless in dealing with threats. Jiang Yuansheng, the talented eldest son, avoids the tragic fate described in the novel and continues his academic pursuits with a clear path forward. Jiang Yuancheng, the fourth brother, faces strict discipline and begins to reform under his father's guidance. Jiang Yuanxi, despite her young age, plays a pivotal role in uniting and protecting her family, ensuring they avoid the tragic end foretold in the original story.

The arrival of the Old Madam, the biological mother of Jiang Qisheng, introduces new tensions. Jiang Yuanxi reveals that the Old Madam was involved in framing Chen Shi's family, leading to their exile. This revelation deepens Chen Shi's resolve to oppose the second branch and protect her children from further harm. The family prepares for ongoing conflicts, relying on their unity and the Emperor's support to overcome the challenges posed by the Duke's mansion's internal politics. Jiang Yuanxi's journey from a doomed infant to a key player in her family's survival and rise in status defines the narrative, highlighting themes of fate, family loyalty, and strategic intelligence.
