After Returning to the Capital, I Dragged the Aloof Imperial Preceptor from His Pedestal

1v1, both leads are chaste

She was the eldest daughter of a prominent marquis's household. As a child, she was framed by villains, and her mother was brutally murdered, dying in a sea of flames. To save her daughter's life before she died, a loyal servant used the incident as an excuse to send her to her maternal relatives in Jiangnan.

When she finally returned, she never expected there to be another story behind it all. Whether it was her failure to see through people or the schemes of those in power, she would make Anjing know no peace, and repay every debt they owed her.

She was no longer the naive little girl she had once been. Over the past ten years, she had seen a world of bitter cold stretching ten miles and corpses strewn across the land, as well as an imperial capital of gentle spring breezes and drunken revelry.

But why did the Imperial Preceptor, who had always looked down on the mortal world from on high, repeatedly come to her aid? Was it a scheme, or was it sincere...?

"I've always been here. Don't be afraid. Go do what you want."
