Esp8266 nothing on serial monitor

[saifkhan199]

I am working on an Arduino and esp8266 project and I am facing a problem that after uploading following code nothing is showing on serial monitor. I am using USB connector to power up the Arduino then connected Esp8266 with it by connecting all 6 wires. I bypass the Arduino by connecting reset with ground. There is no error while uploading code but its showing nothing. Tried connecting esp8266 TX with Arduino RX and esp RX with Arduino TX. And TX with TX and RX with RX also but still hard luck. Baud rate is same 115200 port is also correct but still not working. Kindly help me to figure it out ! Thanks

void setup() { 
  Serial.begin(115200); 
 while(!Serial) { 
delay(100); } 
} 
 void loop() { 
 Serial.println("Hello!"); 
 delay(1000);
}

Sorry, but your description makes no sense

Please post a schematic of your project. A photograph of a pencil and paper drawing is good enough

I am particularly confused by

It seems that you are trying to communicate between an Arduino and an ESP8266 over a serial link. Is that correct and, if so, where is the code for the second board ?

The second board is Arduino and I bypass the Arduino by connecting reset with ground so that I can upload code to esp8266. Here is the schematic.
