It’s Not Easy Being the Grand Tutor’s Wife

Lin Wantang was a modern woman who chose to have plastic surgery after her boyfriend dumped her. After an accident, she transmigrates to ancient times and becomes the owner of the Matchmaker's Workshop. She had hoped to live a quiet life, making matches in the ancient world, but after helping the Ministry of Revenue's Vice Minister's concubine escape, she finds herself at the center of a storm. At the critical moment, the mysterious Grand Tutor Pei Zhaoque appears and saves her in exchange for a sham marriage.

After the wedding, Lin Wantang continues running the Matchmaker's Workshop while playing the part of the Grand Tutor's wife. She also has to find suitable partners for Pei Zhaoque's eccentric children. But as they spend more time together, she discovers that the Grand Tutor puts on makeup and disguises himself every day, and that his identity is a mystery. His face even bears some resemblance to that of the ex-boyfriend who abandoned her. Pei Zhaoque, meanwhile, notices that the birthmark on the back of Lin Wantang's neck is exactly like the one belonging to the person he has been desperately searching for.

As they test each other, they love and fight in equal measure, unaware that an even greater crisis is quietly drawing near. The ruler discovers that Pei Zhaoque is a fake Grand Tutor, and a deadly conspiracy gradually comes to light. Meanwhile, the mystery of Lin Wantang's transmigration and the pair's shared past in the modern world also slowly emerge through layers of intrigue. Amid the treacherous ancient court and tangled emotions, can they uncover the truth together and protect each other?
