Reborn to Kiss the Disabled Grand Tutor: He Goes Mad with Jealousy

[Princess of the realm vs. disabled Imperial Tutor]

[Reborn + mutual salvation + secret love fulfilled + heroine’s growth]

Liu Ying used to think that Chu Zhanheng, the Imperial Tutor who taught her, was young but stiff and strict, and unbearably dull.

Even though his leg was disabled and made getting around difficult, he still insisted on supervising her lessons every day. She wanted nothing to do with him.

It wasn’t until she was sent alone to marry into the Leshuo tribe, died in a coup, and returned to her homeland as a spirit that she finally saw how heartless the royal family was.

At a banquet in the palace, she watched the emperor, the crown prince, and the officials laughing and drinking together. Her heart turned cold.

The elder brother she had once loved and respected, along with her father the emperor, showed no concern at all about her death.

But then she saw Chu Zhanheng petition the emperor on her behalf, erect a memorial stele for her after she died, and eventually waste away in grief. That gave her a little comfort.

When she opened her eyes, she was back in the day she had dozed off during Chu Zhanheng’s lecture at the palace school.

Seeing him before her, she was overcome with a long-missed excitement. Holding back her grief and resentment, she called softly,

“Imperial Tutor...”

Having found him again, she finally understood who had truly cared for her and who had been false and betrayed her.

He taught her not to depend on others, and how to stand on her own.

She grew little by little, and quietly drew closer to him, but the Imperial Tutor, ashamed of his disabled leg, kept retreating.

“If you take just one step forward, the Imperial Tutor can stand beside me. Why do you keep stepping back?”

“Your Highness, I cannot stand, and I cannot protect you.”

Later, disheartened, she pretended to marry someone else and faked her death.

His eyes reddened and his breathing turned ragged as he pulled her into his arms, trembling. “Your Highness, I was wrong. I was terribly, terribly wrong!”

She bent down and kissed him.
