Reborn in Republican-Era China as a Teacher, with Romance at Every Turn

Reborn, Jiang Zhihe returns from the future to take up a teaching post in Xiaoshan, with his finger on the pulse of the times from the start. He wears a long gown and mandarin jacket, and stands behind a three-foot lectern, yet countless schemes lie hidden beneath the surface. The poor seamstress A Cui gazes at him with tearful eyes, while the Westernized young lady Manyun offers him gentle affection. He maneuvers among them with effortless charm, and unspoken feelings bloom in secret: a glance is all it takes to reveal the depth of their love. The turbulent Republic of China conceals dark currents: officials and merchants collude, old and new clash, and strange street happenings abound. An epidemic of diphtheria, a silver-dollar scam, and a romantic entanglement unfold one after another. Making teaching his foundation and riding the winds of the age, he gathers beauties around him while climbing step by step through a time of chaos. From a three-foot lectern, he carves out a glorious path through life, reclining in a beauty's lap and smiling as he takes power. In this misty, rain-soaked Republic of China, every romance and every inch of his domain is a stroke of fate!
