The Mischievous Heir Whose Thoughts Everyone Can Read
Chapter 1
Hearing that cold and indifferent voice, Kim Taehyung, hiding behind the upstairs door, cried tears of joy.
He had been in this book for three days and had finally summoned the God of Wealth.
Because when he transmigrated, he was bound to a system called “All-Hated.” If he accumulated a full score of 100 Disgust Values from everyone in this book, he would receive a reward of one billion and return to his own world.
The dog-blood melodramatic chasing-wife novel titled “President, Your Bai Sohee Has Returned to the Country” was the one he had been reading before getting hit by a car and dying. The protagonist, Jeon Jungkook, and the female lead, Bai Sohee, penned a saga of love and hate spanning over a thousand chapters.
The original Kim Taehyung was the book’s vicious antagonist, who was also the true wealthy heir—mistakenly raised in the countryside, crude and graceless. On the first day he returned three years ago, Old Master Kim directly appointed him as Jeon Jungkook’s fiancée.
Illiterate and brash, his behavior was completely out of step with the refined elite of the Seoul circle. Ironically, he fell hopelessly in love with Jeon Jungkook, chasing him for three years and committing many insane acts that made Jungkook despise him to his core.
Consequently, the Kim family grew more disappointed in him and increasingly unwilling to deal with him, shifting their attention to the fake heir.
This drove Kim Taehyung mad with jealousy. He repeatedly attempted suicide and went on hunger strikes to coerce Jeon Jungkook into staying with him. Contrary to his wishes, the more he tried, the worse it became. When he heard that Jungkook’s Bai Sohee had truly returned to the country and Jungkook was photographed meeting Bai Sohee, he could not accept the impending breakup of his engagement and ultimately jumped into the river, ending his life.
And then Kim Taehyung, who had died in a car accident, took his place.
Starting with a Disgust Value of 89—wasn’t this just handing him money?!
Kim Taehyung immediately kowtowed in all directions and even added a full Thomas spin with side sweeping leg kicks for good measure, leaving the Kim family servants wondering whether the water from his suicide attempt hadn’t fully cleared from his brain.
When the servants came to call him downstairs, they found Kim Taehyung standing at the door, already in tears.
Although the young master had a foul temper and wasn’t particularly bright, he looked rather pitiful. Even after attempting suicide, he still could not get his fiancé to spare him a glance. Their eyes instantly filled with sympathy.
Butler /servants
Young master, Jeon Jungkook is here. Should I tell him you are still not recovered and send him away on your behalf? You should avoid this meeting if you can.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Eyes suddenly turned determined*
No, he won’t get rid of me that easily!
The original character’s role was to cling annoyingly and relentlessly badger Jungkook, never agreeing to a broken engagement—only becoming more and more unbearable, before finally causing a scene and reluctantly agreeing in the end.
He decided to follow the original plot. To court death was just one of his many ordinary skills, aiming to reach the pinnacle of life in half a year.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Went downstairs, his expression instantly filled with immense sorrow*
There were five people in the living room.
Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim, the smug fake heiress Kim Wonyoung, his fifth brother Kim Eunwoo, and finally Jeon Jungkook, with his clear and delicate features.
Kim Taehyung’s first glance at him still took his breath away. Jungkook had short, messy black hair, pale skin, a high nose bridge, and soft, pale-red lips. When he looked over, his eyes were faint as mist, like freshly fallen snow—clean and sharp.
His cold features exuded aloofness, and when he looked at Kim Taehyung, his dark eyes held a barely perceptible chill.
Jeon Jungkook was dressed in a casual white outfit, as though coming to break off the engagement was merely an incidental task on his way somewhere else.
Indeed, as soon as he appeared, the previously harmonious atmosphere in the living room instantly turned tense, like the prelude to a funeral, while Jungkook’s handsome, cold face remained expressionless.
Jeon Jungkook
*He pulled out a marriage annulment agreement from his embrace*
Our Jeon family ancestors have always said, ‘One virtuous wife prospers three generations.’ We absolutely cannot allow someone with such malicious intentions into our household. I have already spoken to Grandfather. Whether he agrees or not, I will cancel this marriage. Kim Taehyung, return the engagement token. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. As compensation, I will give you ten million.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Expression turned shocked*
(A rich suitor? Canceling a marriage and still getting such a deal?)
Recalling all the hardships he had endured in his life, he suppressed the smile tugging at his lips and instantly burst into tears. Like a fragile leaf butterfly, he spun forward and clung to Jeon Jungkook’s trouser leg.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Brother Jungkook, don’t cancel our engagement. Without you, I will die.
Kim Hee Sun
*Face turned as dark as iron*
Kim Taehyung, do you have no shame at all? You are about to disgrace the entire Kim family. Let go of Jungkook immediately.
Kim Jimin (òre)
*Curved his lips into a graceful smile*
Brother, what is meant to be will always find its way, and what is not meant to be should not be forced. It’s best to be content with what you have.
Kim Eunwoo
*Laughed casually*
His skin is thicker than a city wall. This isn’t the first time he’s acted so shamelessly. We should never have acknowledged him again. Then Wonyoung would have remained our family’s pride instead of becoming the subject of ridicule in every prestigious circle.
With tear-filled eyes, Kim Taehyung looked at Kim Wonyoung, who—though only nineteen—had already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. When he had returned three years ago, he had been kind to him, even feeling guilty for having lived the wealthy life that originally belonged to him for sixteen years, and had complied with almost all his requests.
But the original Kim Taehyung had been arrogant and had blamed her for those sixteen years of suffering. Whether through framing or sabotage, those actions had led to their current complete estrangement.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Thinking of his ending, he gave him a sympathetic look*
[Ah, beautiful face, ample figure, but pitifully manipulated by others… In the end, even tricked into donating kidneys and corneas… so pitiful…]
Kim Jimin (òre)
*Smile stiffened, his eyes filled with shock*
(What voice was that?! Kim Taehyung hadn’t spoken.)
Then Kim Taehyung turned to Mrs. Kim.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Ah, go ahead and scold me while you still can. This is my final act of filial piety. After you are diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer in a year, you probably won’t have the strength to scold anymore…]
Kim Hee Sun
*Rubbed her ears, equally confused*
Next, he looked at Kim Eunwoo, who was casually chewing gum and watching the drama unfold.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Why is everyone in the Kim family so tragic? Fifth brother should really dye that green…]
Kim Eunwoo
“Pop.”
*The bubble gum burst, smearing across his face*
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Tsk, no wonder he got cheated on—he really isn’t very bright.]
Finally, he looked at the stern Mr. Kim. He hesitated, then sighed.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Ah, poor old man. Ending up in a mental institution won’t be easy…]
The entire living room fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at Kim Taehyung with strange expressions.
Kiwi (system)
[Ding. Disgust Value +1, progress 90%.]
Chapter 2
Kim Taehyung grew excited again. Thinking the atmosphere was off because he hadn’t wailed dramatically enough, he tightened his grip around Jeon Jungkook’s thighs.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Don’t give me ten million. Money isn’t worth even a single finger of my love for Brother Jungkook!
However, inside, he was nearly laughing hysterically:
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Aowhahahahaha, money come, money come, money come! Men go away! Away! Away!]
Jeon Jungkook
*Gaze was cold and strange as he stared at Taehyung’s tear-streaked, pretty face*
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Um? Why is nobody talking? What’s Jungkook staring at me for? Kick me away already—go off with your Bai Sohee and enjoy your happiness. The eye drops I used are about to dry up, damn it!]
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[No, seriously, Mom, scold me a bit—what’s going on? Is this a monologue? Have they all lost their minds?]
Jeon Jungkook
*Expression darkened slightly as he shifted his foot*
As if shocked by electricity, Kim Taehyung immediately let go and sprang backward, landing right at the feet of Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Wuwuwu… Dad, Mom, please plead for me. I’ll never threaten suicide again to manipulate Brother Jungkook. I beg him not to leave me.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*His voice was filled with exaggerated emotion as he grabbed onto Mrs. Kim’s leg*
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Ugh, the things I say could make me throw up last night’s dinner… but no, last night was spicy crab. That’s good stuff—can’t waste it.]
Kim Hee Sun
*Was deeply unsettled*
[What is happening? I can hear my own son’s thoughts? And late-stage breast cancer? I have regular checkups—I’m perfectly healthy…]
Kim Hee Sun
*She stiffened and said coldly*
Ask your father.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Blinked*
[Huh? Isn’t this just two words—reject me and it’s over? I’m calling off this engagement today! Ten million, here I come!]
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*He immediately turned to Mr. Kim, eyes blurry with tears*
Dad, say something good for me!
Yet Mr. Kim seemed distracted, as if he hadn’t heard him.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Something’s wrong with them today. I’m already this clingy—why don’t they hate me more? Scold me harder? What is this, have you been cutting fish at RT-Mart for ten years? Is your heart colder than a fish knife?]
Kim Seungjae
*Face stiffened; a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead*
This is too strange…
Kim Seungjae
*Still, being experienced, he cleared his throat and composed himself*
Taehyung, since Jungkook wants to call off the engagement, you should return the engagement token. He will not treat you unfairly.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Nice, that’s exactly what I was waiting for!]
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Wuwuwu…
*cried even harder*
Is there really no other way? I truly can’t bear to let him go. He is my electricity, my light—three-quarters of my life!
Kim Seungjae
*Couldn’t bear to watch. He grabbed a cup of tea to hide his expression*
I’ll find someone else for you… The prince of the Seoul circle—we can’t even reach someone like him.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[No way, no way. He’s called the prince of the Seoul circle? Then I’m the Seoul Sweet Potato, the Yue Noodle King, the Chongqing Hotpot Sister—no, Brother—the Yunnan Bruising Sight. Any of those sound better!]
Jeon Jungkook
*Face turned as dark as ink*
Kim Seungjae
Pff—cough, cough—!
*accidentally spat a mouthful of tea across Kim Eunwoo’s face*
Kim Eunwoo
*Froze, too stunned to even wipe it off, unsure whether he had eaten something bad or if the world had gone insane*
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Widened his eyes*
Dad! Don’t spit water at Fifth Brother just because he got angry at me—I’ll return the token right now!
As he spoke, he pulled out the crumpled engagement token he had prepared earlier.
Standing up with tears in his eyes, he placed it in front of Jeon Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Hehe. After we break it off, if you can even see my shadow, I lose!]
Jeon Jungkook
*Gaze deepened, his voice still icy*
Besides ten million, is there anything else you want? As long as I can provide it, I will give it to you.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Ah?
*froze*
[Extra compensation? That’s a nice bonus… No, no, calm down. Don’t fall into his trap. If I ask for more, what if he thinks I’m greedy? Then I might not even get the ten million! Best strategy—cling harder, disgust him, get the money, and leave!]
Kim Taehyung (òre)
I don’t want the money. I only want you. Can’t we just not break off the engagement?
*he said sincerely, his acting worthy of an award*
Those crystal-clear tears, trembling lips, and stubborn persistence—it was all part of his plan.
Through half-lidded eyes, he secretly sized up Jeon Jungkook.
Even under loose clothing, Jungkook’s perfect physique was impossible to hide.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[Wow… I’m so jealous of Bai Sohee. She can touch his chest, abs, and arms every day before sleeping. I’m not asking for much… I just want to touch his butt.]
His gaze drifted downward unconsciously.
Once.
Twice.
Rip.
Jeon Jungkook accidentally tore a hole in the document in his hand.
The entire room fell into deathly silence.
Cold sweat rolled down everyone’s faces as they stared at Kim Taehyung in disbelief.
Kim Seungjae
Ha… ha ha ha…
*suddenly burst into loud laughter*
Kim Seungjae
Well! It’s noon already—let’s eat! Let’s go to the dining room—lunch, haha…
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*looked completely stunned*
[What’s happening? We’re in the middle of breaking off an engagement—why are we talking about food?!]
Kim Taehyung (òre)
So… about this engagement…
*he forced the topic back, waiting for Jeon Jungkook to throw a ten-million check at him*
Jeon Jungkook
*Suddenly smiled faintly.
Right in front of Kim Taehyung, he tore the agreement in half*
Fine. Then we won’t break it off.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
…What???
Jeon Jungkook
*His expression remained indifferent*
What? Aren’t you happy?
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*felt like he had swallowed a fly*
I’m… so happy I could cry…
And this time—
he truly did cry.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[So you don’t want to pay the ten million, huh? How stingy. Just wait—today it’s ten million, tomorrow I’ll make you pay double!]
Jeon Jungkook
*Stood up*
I won’t be staying for lunch.
*He glanced at Taehyung’s sulky face and smirked faintly*
Mr. Kim, you’ve raised quite the monkey.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
[You’re the monkey. Your whole family are monkeys—every single one of you, wild monkeys from Emei Mountain!]
Jeon Jungkook
*Gave him one last cold look before leaving*
Kim Hee Sun
*hurriedly followed*
Kim Jimin (òre)
*Looked at Kim Taehyung as if he were some kind of creature and muttered as he left*
Not listening, not listening—the ramblings of a fool…
Kim Eunwoo
*Glared fiercely*
He’s so annoying. Everything he says is unpleasant. I don’t believe a single word!
He would rather believe swords could fall from the sky than believe he had been cheated on.
Kim Taehyung stood there, completely lost.
He genuinely wanted to break off the engagement.
Then he looked at Mr. Kim—
who immediately stood up.
Kim Seungjae
I’m going to the study.
Within a minute, the entire living room was empty.
Only Kim Taehyung remained, standing there in stunned silence.
Chapter 3
At the pinnacle of life, Kim Taehyung sat alone at the vast dining table, happily enjoying a feast of rare delicacies that had originally been prepared for Jeon Jungkook. Since Jungkook didn’t eat, it seemed Taehyung’s stomach would reap all the benefits.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Kiwi, are you there? How’s my progress? Am I just a few Disgust Values away from one billion?
Kiwi (system)
*After a few seconds, the system logged in. A cold, mechanical voice replied*
Host, Disgust Value is checked once every six months. Are you sure you want to check? The newcomer reward reported your Disgust Value once, but it will not happen again.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Hesitated briefly, then nodded firmly*
Check. Although the goal is six months, I think I can finish it within one month.
Kiwi (system)
Current Disgust Value: 94. Next check: six months later.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!! Only six points away! This is so easy! I’ll finish it in six days!
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Jumped up and danced excitedly*
The Kim family servants nearby watched with mixed pity and relief.
Butler /servants
Ah… the young master has gone crazy with joy because the engagement wasn’t canceled.
They recorded a video and sent it out.
Butler /servants
Caption: Haven’t seen the young master laugh like this in a long time.
Kim Eunwoo
*Immediately forwarded the video to the brothers’ group chat*
Kim Eunwoo
Kim Eunwoo:
[@Jeon Jungkook, Brother Kook, why did you suddenly change your mind? Isn’t Bai Sohee back in the country? Don’t you owe us an explanation? Look at Kim Taehyung—he’s gone crazy with happiness because you didn’t cancel the engagement.]
Cheng Ann
Cheng An:
[666, the breakup didn’t happen? Did Taehyung attempt suicide in front of you again? I still think Bai Sohee is better. If you two had gotten together earlier, there wouldn’t be any Kim Taehyung.]
Yang Jiashu
Yang Jiashu:
[Man, Brother Kook is suffering. What era are we in that you still have to deal with arranged marriage? Grandpa Kim really went to get a fortune told and forced this marriage on you. That’s outrageous.]
The group chat quickly became lively.
After a long while, Jeon Jungkook finally replied:
Jeon Jungkook
[My decision not to break off the engagement has nothing to do with Bai Sohee.]
They assumed he was just saving face.
After all, the unattainable white moonlight always remains a white moonlight.
That afternoon, Mrs. Kim returned.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Was watching TV in the living room and obediently greeted her*
Mom.
Kim Hee Sun
*Expression was complicated. She nodded before quickly going to find Mr. Kim*
In the original story, Kim Taehyung had been obsessively possessive of Jeon Jungkook and overly flattering toward his biological family, hoping to gain their support.
But in reality, only the original owner of this body had twisted values.
But in reality, only the original owner of this body had twisted values.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Rested his chin in thought*
Now that he knew the entire plot, he decided not to reveal their fates. A proper villain needed the resolve of one.
After all, the Kim family was destined to become the biggest cannon fodder in the story. Under the disastrous management of the psychotic eldest brother, Kim Jongsuk , the powerful Kim Group would collapse. His brothers would end up dead or disabled, and the original owner—after this failed suicide and broken engagement—would become even more twisted, repeatedly targeting Bai Sohee, only to end up imprisoned once all evidence was exposed.
These outcomes could even be accelerated.
Just imagining himself as a whispering demon in the future—
Kim Taehyung (òre)
I knew everything all along… but chose not to say anything.
—was enough to max out the Disgust Value.
Thrilling.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
But wait, Kiwi
*suddenly said*
according to the original plot, we should’ve already broken up. So what is the male lead doing now?
Kiwi (system)
*Paused before replying sluggishly*
Perhaps… you haven’t been disgusting enough for him to want to abandon you. Host, you should reflect on yourself instead of questioning the system. Kiwi’s life also matters.
Alright. Your expert-level PUA is noted.
Kim Seungjae
Taehyung
*came downstairs, his expression still stern*
Your mother is taking you to the hospital for a checkup. Change your clothes and go with her.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
*Still felt slightly intimidated, but then remembered his tragic ending*
[Considering the delicious meals every day and the hundred thousand yuan in pocket money each month, I’ll definitely choose the best mental hospital for you!]
Kim Seungjae
*Eyes widened in shock.
He turned to Mrs. Kim*
Take him quickly. Especially check his brain. No… I’ll come too.
So, for once, Kim Taehyung went out with both of his parents.
Mrs. Kim even arranged neurology and psychological consultations for him.
Was jumping into a river enough to label him mentally unstable?
Then Kim Taehyung suddenly remembered—the original host had depression due to unrequited love. So when filling out the forms, he did it carelessly.
There was no escaping a diagnosis of severe depression.
He waited contentedly for the results.
Not Important
*The psychologist reviewed everything and concluded gravely*
Your son is not only depressed but also somewhat morally unrestrained. Let him act freely for now. Don’t suppress him. Treat him with tolerance. No matter how unpleasant he becomes, show him care. Family love is very important.
Kim Seungjae
*Suddenly looked much older*
He was still troubled by hearing his son’s inner thoughts.
More importantly—
Mrs. Kim had been diagnosed with mammary nodules, with a high likelihood of developing into cancer.
Which meant everything they heard was true.
So he sent a message in the family group:
Kim Seungjae
💬Your brother has psychological issues. Be nicer to him.
Everyone in the Kim family was there—except Kim Taehyung.
Their shared reaction:
Impossible.
Suddenly, Kim Taehyung appeared behind him like a ghost.
Kim Taehyung (òre)
What’s wrong? Guarding against me so strictly? Planning to steal poop?
Kim Taehyung (òre)
Give me three minutes. Add me in. I’ll infiltrate the inner circle, make my presence known every day, and annoy you all to death.
Kim Seungjae
*Felt a headache coming on.
This perfectly normal child had truly gone mad*
After a moment of hesitation—and guilt—he finally added Kim Taehyung to the group.
Immediately—
Kim Taehyung sent a message:
Kim Taehyung (òre)
💬Add me to the poop-stealing squad.
He didn’t care. He was thrilled.
He tagged all five brothers and Kim Jimin to make sure they noticed him.
What the original host couldn’t achieve in three years—
he accomplished in three minutes.
Impressive.
The next day.
Kim Taehyung returned to school.
He was nineteen, a first-year student. Jeon Jungkook and Kim Eunwoo were third-year students, two years his senior.
At sixteen, he had worked desperately to enter the same university as Jeon Jungkook—
Only to get in through connections in the end.
Now, rumors about his suicide attempt for Jeon Jungkook were spreading wildly across campus forums. Most people were simply watching the drama unfold.
Ever since his return, gossip about him had flooded elite circles—mocking his countryside upbringing, saying his adoptive parents ran a pig farm, that no amount of luxury could hide the “stench,” that his engagement to Jeon Jungkook was doomed, and that he couldn’t even compare to a single finger of Kim Jimin—
A true young master raised in privilege.
Faced with all this, the original host had completely snapped, attacking everyone indiscriminately.
No wonder he was universally despised.
But for Kim Taehyung—
surrounded by enemies on all sides—
this was perfect.
Thankfully, he only needed to increase Disgust Value.
If it had been goodwill instead?
Going from -89 to 100…
Now that would have been exhausting.
