From Discarded Marquisate Heir to Imperial Tutor and Chief Minister

He transmigrates into a marquis's household as its abandoned son, yet his teaching skills catch the Crown Prince's attention! Zhou Ce transmigrates as the fake young master of a marquis's household in the Great Yu dynasty. After the real young master frames him and drives him out, he ends up as a penniless tutor at a rundown academy. Others mock him for his shabby appearance, but he teaches a group of extraordinary students: A farmer's son who can't afford to eat turns out to be the hidden imperial grandson. The sickly Crown Prince listens to his lectures and exclaims on the spot, “What a brilliant teacher!” He only wanted to keep a low profile and farm, but the marquis's household tries to force him to marry into the Minister of Rites' family, to their ugly daughter. Yet this so-called ugly woman is stunningly beautiful! Zhou Ce sneers. “My students are future emperors, and my father-in-law is a powerful court official. You think you're qualified to scheme against me?” “Teacher, should this realm belong to the Li family or the Zhou family?” Years later, the imperial grandson ascends the throne, yet kneels before a thatched cottage to ask his teacher for guidance. Zhou Ce smiles as he waves his fan. “Remember this: the realm belongs to its people.”
