The Scheming Grand Tutor Pursues His Wife Every Day

[Both each other's first + one-on-one + both have secret identities + devoted love + male lead turns dark later]

Scheming young lady × crafty Grand Tutor

Ji Jiaowan transmigrated, or more precisely, transmigrated out of a storybook. To avoid returning to a life as a puppet on strings, she has no choice but to get close to Grand Tutor Xie Zhuqi.

Later, during the Ghost Festival, she meets a pitiful male courtesan who looks at her pleadingly for help.

Softhearted, Ji Jiaowan buys his freedom, then can't help cursing inwardly: "What a little fox."

On the way back, she runs into another little fox, who turns out to be her target for winning over. His favorability is already at 95% the moment they meet.

Ji Jiaowan spends time with both foxes, and before long, she seems to realize she's fallen for two men.

"Am I a player?"

A man watching from the shadows sees it all.

Xie Zhuqi thought he had everything under control. In reality, Ji Jiaowan had long since seen through his intentions.

Xie Zhuqi's perspective

In public, he acts indifferent to women. In truth, he has been waiting silently for Ji Jiaowan for sixteen years.

He never gave up during that time, continuing to search and wait.

At last, he finally got his wish.

To get close to her, he disguised himself as a pitiful male courtesan and lured her into saving him.

But in the end, he discovered that Ji Jiaowan had been trying to lure him in, too.
