The Schoolteacher Who Held Power Over Jiangbei

Shen Qingyue, daughter of a Jiangnan tycoon, sets her sights on Gu Yanshu, a poor and gentle schoolteacher. She storms into his world and will use any means necessary to make him hers.

He scolds her for being “unbecoming of a gentleman,” yet his body gives in, and his heart quietly follows.

A carefully orchestrated misunderstanding leaves her heartbroken, and she heads north with a close friend from an influential family. At the train station, he finally realizes how he feels, but can only watch as the train carries away the love he never confessed.

Three years later, the once-genteel scholar has become a northern warlord. He returns, drenched in blood and wielding overwhelming power, driven by an obsessive fixation, and forcefully reenters her life.

This time, the roles are reversed. He keeps her by his side, murmuring against her ear in a hoarse voice:

“Shen Qingyue, what you taught me back then, I’m giving it all back to you now.”

The game began with her, but he will decide how it ends. When forced love turns back on its pursuer, which of these two proud hearts will be the first to wound the other?
