The Imperial Tutor Is Here: The Rest of My Life Is Yours

[Two Male Leads! Two Male Leads! Two Male Leads! Please proceed with caution if this isn't your thing! Regent Prince vs. Imperial Tutor vs. Monarch + Alternate Universe + Bad Ending]

Love twisted by force, or indulgent love that leads to ruin?

The Xue clan was renowned for generations of loyalty, yet in the end, the entire family was condemned to death, leaving only Xue Luo alive.

It was a conspiracy, carefully planned from the very beginning.

His wrongful case was finally overturned. He was appointed imperial tutor, and served with unwavering loyalty.

Out of gratitude, Xue Luo honored the late emperor's dying wish and became the imperial tutor, guiding the young Jin Chenye. Yet no matter how wholeheartedly he served, he could not earn even Jin Chenye's most basic trust.

Having endured life's vicissitudes and its bitter turns, Jin Chenye had no use for Xue Luo's loyal service as imperial tutor. His feelings had changed. All he wanted was Xue Luo's heart.

A mentor is like a father, and upright, principled Xue Luo could not cross the boundary between teacher and student. He could not break free of the shackles of morality and social convention. Their bond twisted and tangled until they became strangers... The one who loved most deeply became the one he hated most...

Jin Chenye: "Have you ever loved me?"

Xue Luo: "I had feelings for you... but I never loved you."

In closing: A lifetime is both too long and too short. Because of hatred, even the briefest time can stretch into an eternity of torment.

And yet, during the short time they spent together, neither heart was ever insincere. In the end, hatred came from loving too deeply.

Love and hate are separated by a single thought. Love in a twisted form is torment. Destined to meet, but not to be together, they are ultimately powerless against fate.
