Transmigrated as the Fake Fiancée of a Schoolteacher

Xiao Ya transmigrated into Beiping in 1937. She thought she was just an ordinary night-school student, but under questioning, a teacher she had never met pulled her into his arms. He announced to everyone, “This is my fiancée.” From then on, she lived in the dormitory he had arranged and watched this gentle, refined teacher hold fast to his post at the lectern amid the chaos of war. She knew how history would unfold. She knew that this man, Zhang Yunxin, would eventually die on the battlefield, his body never to be found. She tried to change his fate, but he smiled and said to her: “If I don’t go, who will defend this land? And if this land is gone, where will you be?” Later, in a modern library, she ran her fingers over a yellowed copy of The Book of Songs. In the margin, a penciled line from a hundred years ago was still clear: “Across the river. Waiting for you.”
